Why is it ok to ask certain things to indians and not be racist but if its another racial group then it is racism?

Because some topics are sensitive coming from another race and frankly making broad judgements from Indian to Indian can also be considered racist. Being Indian yourself doesn't give you free license to share your judgements on certain issues even if they r prevalent

Because we put up with a lot of stuff (and propagate it). High time we knew and recognized where a line needs to be drawn.

Example do you like bollywood, bhangra, are you in IT, are you a computer genius, do u like naan. I feel like we lot are okay with these things way too much

What C1?? I think you got lost in your words there. Being indian doesnt allow me to share social issues concerning my race. You are so docile

Like deodorant? When other do... no need to ask.

D1 100% agree with you. We put up with a lot of bullshit and get taken for granted. Also Desis try to to act cool with racist inclinations to blend in with foreign masters

OP - yes it doesn't. Because I may not share those views and you don't get free license to make generalizations on certain issues be it political or social. It's your right to voice your view and it's my right to be or not be offended REGARDLESS of our races.

In this country it's best to be diplomatic and keep your views to yourself in a professional setting

Cool story bro C1. Tell me more after the world ends

You can disagree, as do I. Don't whine about it. If you say something offensive to me even though we're both Indians we would be resolving it through HR. But you're not in my firm, so blabber away

Jeez u got issues man. Have you tried your firm's helpline. Seems like a lot of ppl have been rude or racist towards you and youre holding it back. Man seek some help. Im sorry. Here a hug☠

I’ve always gotten the advice that when you want to switch jobs you should take interviews from places you’re not actually interested in, so you can understand your value in the market and have better negotiating power.

I’m doing that rn - took a couple interviews to gauge my skills, my market value, and see what I need to work on for interviews that I actually care about.

However, I feel really guilty about wasting their time and going all the way knowing I’ll just say no at the end. Wwyd?

I love my job and the people I work with, but there’s one thing that really bothers me: the lack of diversity. Sometimes when I walk into the office and see everyone else around me as the only POC, it feels kind of weird. I don’t think anyone here has ever said anything racist or sexist to me personally, but I don’t feel comfortable talking about these issues with anyone because they might take it personally and then things could get awkward between us.
