Where are you from? [[I'm from California]]

[[I'm from the Bay Area]] or [[What do you mean?]]

[[No like where are your parents from?]]

No like where are you [[really->No like where are you really from?]] from?

[[I live with my parents, they're in the Bay as well.]] or [[Why does it matter?]]

[[No I mean where were your parents born?]]

[[Wow relax I was just asking]]

[[I'm Indian, if that's what you're asking.]]

[[Oh my ex was Indian! Do you know them? I love turmeric lattes! You have to come to my yoga class. Can you give me a henna tattoo?]]

[[Ummm...]]

[[Also I know this really great Indian restaurant, you’ve probably heard of it. My stomach hurts for days after but it’s sooo worth it. Do you know any Bollywood movies I should watch?]]

[[I’m not super into that stuff. I don’t really know that much to be honest.]] [[Why are you telling me this?]]

[[Omg you’re so lucky your skin is sooo tan. If I was Indian I would definitely visit.]]

Umm because you said you were [[Indian?]]

I mean it doesn't really have anything to do with luck. Also you can still visit? It's not like you need to be [[from there]] to visit.

[[Indian?]]

Yes! My grandfather was a convoy there during the [[alliance]] between India and Britain. Sometimes I wonder if I'm part Indian myself.

[[I'm not doing this.]] [[Did you really just call it an alliance?]]

Um yeah, what's wrong with that? Without Britain, India wouldn't even have a government. And you know what happened with [[Pakistan]]

Enlighten me. What happened with [[Pakistan?]]

Yeah Pakistan would have never been its own country without [[Britain.]]

Britain created a rift between Hindus and Muslims which is what brought them near war in the first place. Whatever this isn't a history lesson. I'm not wasting my energy on [[you.]]

Eww no way, I've heard it's like super dangerous. Especially for women. I wish there was a version of India that was like... [[safe.]]

I mean, I'm a woman and I've been there before? It's not like it's a [[fantasy]] place or something.

Yeah but isn't it like super dirty and there's people peeing on the street and stuff? Also I would feel soooo sad seeing all the homeless people there [[:(]]

Look I don't know where you're getting this info but to be honest you're kind of generalizing? Those problems exist everywhere on any country to some extent. I don't think it's fair to say that about an entire [[country.]]

What do you even know about India anyway? Haven't you lived [[here]], like, your entire life??

Oh um ... yeah, I guess you're right...

I said that because you [[asked?]]

Look it's nothing to be ashamed of! [[I]] have some family who lives there.

Oh do [[you?]]
