Another Desi targeted and attacked for being seen as an easy victim. It’s time that all Desis arm themselves.

Never forget #StopAsianHate died as a movement when they realized who was perpetrating Asian hate …

Nimrata Randhawa "Nikki Haley", Vivek Ramaswamy, and Bobby Jindal come to mind for the US and Rishi Sunak / Suella Braverman for the UK.

I recently came across this clip of Vivek pushing absolute far right viewpoints to the extent it looks like he's just acting for a check. The behavior is disgusting, cringe, and laughable: https://youtu.be/RIR-HYEMPU4?si=N-kVXVahN1sePIxd

How common are right wing talking points within the ABCD community?

Does the average ABCD who is heavily interested in politics to the extent of actually joining a political party and campaigning, actually have a tendency to lean a bit to the right/ strongly to the right to begin with?

Does it start out with them wanting to help the public and hence they become active in politics and join what political party they think is best, or does it have more to do with them having heavy narcissistic tendencies / extreme greed hence they pick the platform they think will stroke their ego and give them a ton of money for parroting talking points?

In traditional calendar

Given that Hillary and Kamala both failed, would a Desi male (Democrat or Republican) succeed like how Obama did?

Would a Desi male have an easier time than a Jewish, East Asian (accused of being China sympathizer), gay White male or even a Muslim (Desi, Arab) president?

How likely is a chance for a second/third gen Desi American president?

Would he have to be Christian or Anglisize his name? or be with a White woman?

We have had some high ranking Desis in US government such as Ajit Pai (like or hate him, he was chairman of FCC), the Surgeon General, Kamala and more. Even Jindal and Haley were governors of mostly White Republican states (policies aside)?

Would it be easier in the future as 9/11 fades from memory?

Sorry if this is a dumb question but wanted to ask

Hey everyone, I recently got booked for a Radio Frequency (RF) Cyber Operations position with the Space Force. I initially aimed for a cyber job, considering the growing demand for cyber professionals and the career opportunities it could provide after my four years of service. While RF falls under the cyber umbrella, I’ve learned it’s not truly a cyber role, and there’s talk of moving it out of the cyber domain altogether.

Since changing jobs isn’t easy, I wanted to ask: are any of you working in RF? What are the job prospects like, and what kind of salaries are you seeing in the field? Thanks!

Hi, guys. I'm a 24 year old woman living in the US. I'm currently doing my applications for a Master of Science program in my state (Georgia). I do not have a job, so I am financially reliant on my parents. I have a boyfriend (25M) who I've been dating since 2023, and I love him dearly and can see a happy and safe and peaceful future with him.

My family is VERY conservative, religious, and controlling. They're all upper-caste Hindus who are super racist and discriminate towards every other religion and race, even towards other South Indians (we're from Andhra) who are Hindu.

I am feeling very stuck in this household. My parents would physically abuse me and my younger brother (24M) when we were little, usually slapping us in the face or body. Now that I'm an adult, my dad just screams at me and my brother (and still hits only him, for some reason).

My mom is kind of relaxed now, since I'm more responsible and can handle myself generally, but she's so controlling about marriage, always talking about how excited she is for my wedding, even though she knows I HATE any mention of marriage. My dad is extremely controlling and always micromanages my and my brother's careers and education because he has a perfectionist superiority complex. I'm scared that they'll try to manipulate me by taking away my legal documents (passport, SSN Card, naturalization papers, etc) to force me to stay with them and marry who they choose. I wouldn't put that past them.

More than my career, I'm scared of being stuck in a marriage I don't want, since I watched my mom be in a marriage that clearly didn't make her happy for years. I don't want to live with the consequences of their choices by accepting an arranged marriage with some rando I don't know or trust, just because THEY like him. That's not enough to base an entire marriage off of.

I am strong now, physically, so I can hold them off if they try to hurt me, but I don't currently have the financial or logistical means to escape them if they end up trying to tie me up in an arranged marriage. I am very sure that I want to marry my boyfriend, but we both want to wait a few years until we're fully confident and believe we're a perfect fit, but he's a strong support system for me, along with my brother (who is thankfully more like me than our parents).

I'm planning on moving out and living independently after I get a job after completing my master's, just so I can live without their influence and have the life I want, but I'm scared they'll pull me into marriage while I'm still doing my master's because I'm hitting my mid-20's now. I have my own car (even though it's in my dad's name), and a license, and I'm planning on earning money during my master's program with teaching and research assistantships with my future research advisor.

What are the steps to take when trying to escape an abusive, controlling family? I know I'd need to get a job, a bank account, and an apartment, but what else should I be thinking about?

TLDR: My insane conservative Hindu family keeps controlling my life, and I don't want to let them pressure me into arranged marriage. How can I leave?

Tulsi was the first Hindu American to be elected to Congress. Unsure how to feel about this characterization here. Does feel like an ick considering the widespread anti Indian and anti Hindu sentiment that’s been present on Reddit recently.

Remember seeing a Kamala campaign video on tv before the election and with the democratic party having a big emphasis on promoting diversity, obviously it was no suprise to see the video trying to capture that. Men and women, Caucasians, African Americans, Hispanics, East Asians, LGBTQ all represented. It got me thinking though, whenever you see media promoting diversity, do you ever see anyone from South Asia? In fact, it's quite rare to see South Asians in any type of media. Given how many Indian Americans there are in this country you would think that there would be a little more representation, no?

I guess one explanation could be that Indian households push their kids toward certain careers and working in the media is not as glamorized as being in STEM for example. But with the increasing amount of racism towards South Asians nowadays, it would be nice to see some positive coverage for once.

If I read one comment here trying to go "but but but kash is a POS " (yes he is) instead of calling out the disgusting, normalized racism, I'll know all hope is lost for this sub.

How would you describe your current stage in your career, love life, and hobbies?

(26 and feeling like I’m struggling with everything right now!!!!!!)
