No one in asia looks like them or has tehir cilture but west asian and central and south asian do and have similir cultures and background and look simiiar

0:28 is not erasure. Why is our generation hell bent on getting offended at every small teeny tiny thing. No wonder, mental health is a big issue. We don’t have to be validated at each and every step. Of course cultures are diverse and different, so is Boston from south and south from CA. The real point is to identify common thread among us, because it never stop. First it’s between countries, next between states, next between regions within states, next between schools and suburbs, next between families…we can keep going granular. It will never stop So let’s learn to ignore and let go. Adulting is learning to not be bothered by small issues
Well said. I think it's got to be a result of partition brain. Woke desis who argue this point typically will just do anything for attention and a hot take - - even pretend there's any validity to the argument that South Asianness is now suddenly offensive! It's insane. Truly a sign that South Asians hate themselves. We really need to take it as a cue to ask what we can do to teach our future generations to have better principles, more self respect, to build bridges with other south Asians, and to be much more politically coherent than this.
i say desi because i thought that was a more correct way to say south asian when speaking about people from the indian subcontinent and the surrounding area
Desi and South Asian are both fine. People making this argument are literally delusional and looking for something to make into a controversy for their hot takes on twitter. We are and have always been desi/South Asian, in addition to our national and ethnic identities. All at the same time. One doesn't undermine or substitute the other. This is all a very recent argument that every south Asian elder I've asked finds bizarre.

So why should South Asians not do it?? We have contributed even more to Western society than they have, yet we are just supposed to be happy with nothing while other races get everything for doing much less?? Every race should support their own, South Asians/Desis are no Different.
I don’t think so e have 4 basic groups that none of us south Asians fit into, we’re most definitely not white, not Latino, most Asians say we’re not ReAl Asians same with black ppl so it’s fair for us to have a group too
