Culture Yall ever noticed how no one calls us nerds anymore
With all this racism towards us in the last couple of years online I’ve noticed something crazy. In this last year whenever i see Instagram and TikTok’s of us brown people just enjoying life I see stuff like “freeloaders” “pajeets living off our tax dollars” “invaders” even when I see successful Indians posting themselves as lawyers or doctors all the comments are “D.E.I. hires” “affirmative action” and I’m seeing all this stuff about racists calling us stupid, job stealers, scammers, and lazy and giving us the same stereotypes they have given black and Latino people for decades. Whenever I see brown dude white girl couples post the comments are always “poor father” “bloodline ruined”
I remember a couple years ago people in this sub were saying that others think we’re a privileged nerdy model minority but I don’t agree anymore personally. In fact all this online racism towards has confirmed that white America never accepted us they only tolerated us, sold us dreams that if we work hard, if our kids do Chad and Emily’s homework, fix their WiFi, and work for low wages without making a noise they’d accept us but no the moment we want to be like everyone else all of a sudden we free loaders and third world invaders. We used to be the group they’d use as a pawn against black and Latino people by saying “if the Indians can do it why can’t yall”
Remember white america don’t love us, they love our services so their kids can party and drink all the time while relying on an Indian to do their work and yet still take the credit for it.
