You only feel bad because you are in countries and regions of Whites/Europeans. I'm not suggesting anything but when you move to safer and cleaner countries and experience their cultures and religions, grief and jealousy will follow. Once again not suggesting anything, it's natural
@@Lugermorph1497 I wouldn’t say I necessarily agree or disagree with you, but regarding your point about grief and jealousy-wouldn’t you say these are part of human nature and not specific to South Asian culture? They do exist in all cultures, including white/European cultures. It’s just that these traits may be more noticeable in some cultures than others and how they’re expressed may vary Also I mentioned South Asian cultures because that’s the one I’m most familiar with, and I don’t have enough insight into other cultures to comment on them as deeply
@@ThoughtSpace0 Oh yes It's a part of nature alright. Like for instance, for example if someone of the same race seen another person who was Healthy, Fit and Educated, the other person would want that. It's not just bound to race in itself. The one thing I've noticed in college with Immigrants in my country, especially with women, they want to be "white" or of a higher cast, which I tell them is pointless because now they have access to our living spaces and reasources. Even though you will take on your parents genes, that doesn't mean you cannot look after yourself by going to the gym, heating our higher quality foods etc. Even though I naturally prefer my own people, like any other group would, I never understood why Immigrants would want to be someone other than themselves.
I do not dispute all the things you say in this video, but I mean to humbly ask you to not contribute these things to culture, if you can. Please! I think you misunderstood what "culture" means. "Cancel culture" is not culture. "Cringe culture" neither, nor "comparison culture". These things are social habits, profoundly specific to this new age of information. Differentiating in skin tones is not part of culture either. It may be a cautious experience (the natural form) or an ideological prejudice (the form of radical views). This can be written in cultural books , yes, but in general, these habits do not form long term customs in culture, meaning, they often don't apply after 3-4 generations to come. But they can be angering and well soo to face. Culture is the better, the organizing, the forever creating part of habits and customs, almost synonymous with honor, hope. What you understood as culture in the aformentioned is all the opposite of that. This is just my view, please disregard them if you find better terms from some random social media or you have a different view on things.
@@coslorem6943 I just wanted to say I do respect and am open to different opinions, so don’t worry about that! So regarding your point about misunderstanding culture, if you check the Oxford Dictionary definition for instance, social habits and behaviours are what make up a portion of culture - and the portion I’ve decided to focus on in this video. Also you are right in saying that this might not apply in the future since culture is fluid and always changing with the times. I guess I should have made it clearer that I was talking about particular aspects of today’s culture in the post-modern era. That said, I do wholeheartedly agree that culture should promote honor and hope, which it did for centuries. But now, with a lack of shared purpose and people becoming more isolated, it feels like culture - not just South Asian culture by also other ethnic backgrounds and generational groups e.g. Gen Z and Boomers - generally speaking, from my own experience and talking to others, it just feels like today’s culture is working against us rather than helping us. Thank you again for your insight 🤝
@@ThoughtSpace0 And Thank you for making the video in the first place! I do not know if you face danger in criticism when you ever talk about it in your publics (and please work with this in mind), but it has to be told somewhere. I hear and experience the same you've just pointed out and I'm living in Europe. Well, probably not the same in manners, cultural background and weight, but I can feel somewhat where you're coming from. This makes your wisdoms a global value. I hope we can lift these curses from our cultures in the years to come. Let's call these things that. Curses on culture. What do you say?
Not necessarily, and I hope I didn’t come across that way. I’m just highlighting the cultural issues people are facing in the post-modern era. I personally believe there is a lot of missed potential, especially for those in more developed countries, as we have the potential to achieve much more as a collective given what’s happening in other parts of the world right now. But that’s just my opinion and you’re free to disagree.
@@ThoughtSpace0 You're giving me circular reasoning. Cause the only way to make a change is to destroy the culture that you don't like. You either want there to be change or you don't. And unless you mean that there's "potential" (whatever that means), it's just another way of saying that you don't like your culture and you want to change it. Just say that. Don't try to fluff it up with pretty words. That's the culture you're stuck with or destroy it and move on.
@@MontChevalier No circular reasoning or fancy words here, I prefer being straightforward. Let me explain in more detail what I meant by ‘potential,’ since you’re right, the term is a bit vague. My previous message was essentially a summary of the message I wanted to put across from the video. In my opinion, change can come from awareness, not necessarily destruction and I believe that openly talking about topics that are often seen as taboo is what’s needed at the moment. In the context of South Asian culture, things like indirectly judging others based on skin color, judging people based on fake checkpoints of maturity e.g. marriage and settling down, and the gossip and backstabbing that happens behind closed doors-these are all part of a status game that human beings within each culture decide to play when there isn’t a collective purpose, which from experience is what I and many others can see in more developed countries. What I’m trying to say is that our mental energy and resources could be better spent addressing real issues, like the lack of access to food and shelter in parts of South Asia instead of playing this strange status game-that was what I meant by ‘potential.’ As for the claim that I don’t like my culture, I wouldn’t say that is entirely true. I do have a genuine curiosity in understanding the various struggles with war and inequality that our parents, grandparents, and others within that culture went through by listening to their stories, along with their own unique viewpoints about the world. Although I do think you may be right in saying that I do dislike certain aspects of human nature, not necessarily culture.
@@ThoughtSpace0 You don't think that awareness is another form of destruction? You are essentially trying to convince people not to think or behave in a certain way. I've re-read your message and re-read it again and I'm just not seeing anything different. It's all incredibly vague. You don't want to change anything, but you want people to know about the situation? With letting people know, you are in fact working towards destroying that aspect of culture. I don't understand why you're being so vague. If you don't like something, why aren't you doing something about it? What is it they always say, "Be the change you want to be." I'm even more confused now. Now this is about focusing on food and shelter? What does this have to do with a girl not liking her skin color?
@@MontChevalier With regards to me not wanting change, there is one goal I have in mind, which is something I am trying to figure out. It is probably why you may feel the message is vague, so apologies for that - I am not a big fan of telling people my goals and rather work towards the solution in the background. I am essentially looking to use this channel as leverage to spread awareness of the issues individuals are facing in first world countries (which is usually mental health related) whilst setting things up in a way where I can simultaneously trying to help those who are less fortunate in less developed countries. I have only started the channel so it is still early days which will requires a bit of time to set this all up - if you think I am trying to contribute to the issue, I can understand why you might feel that why
But the culture isn't actually saying dark skin is bad, that kind of thinking came after colonization. Especially if your talk about south Asia then there are ancient artifacts praising dark skin. The people that call wanting to be light skin part of their culture are just lying to justify their thinking. This is the way the south Asian society is, not the way the culture is. The actual culture is beautiful and should not be forgotten
@@niharika3280 Yes, I would have to agree with you. Sadly, it is a part of human nature like you have mentioned, but culture should help us rise above that and bring us together, rather than contributing further to the problem, if you see where I am coming from
