I don’t understand the OPs logic, but I never understood being “proud” of my ethnicity either. What exactly is there to be proud about? I’m proud about my own accomplishments, but I just can’t see being proud to be decendent from a bunch of people in other countries that I never knew, who had/have a completely different way of living than I do.

yah, I just posted here since i’ve seen some good advice beeing given out before so just thought i’s see what all your views are.

Im just trying to figure out why I don’t like being indian. I’m a good looking guy, have a great personality and am healthy and fit, but I feel that most of my problems, in particular my turbulent love life have been caused by my ethnicity.

Are you being serious? Because this seems to be the mindset that many white brits seem to have: “if hes not white, he’s not British”.

I like to think I am though since I was born and raised here, am proud to call myself British and love the culture and it really saddens me when I read/hear comments like that.

It’s like i’ll never fit in in india and although I want to, for some like the irish guy I’ll never be truly british either. I mean if the girl I liked who knows me and likes me can’t accept me as a partner because of my background, then what chance do I have?

Bro, I don’t give a fuck about your background. I was just making fun of you.

Haha, that guys great! I’ll have to check-out more of his stuff.

At some point, there’s nothing more to say than to… get over it.

Get over your “different” ethnicity and ex. And if you need help doing that, go to a shrink.

Yeah, I’m Asian and I moved to the US when I was like 10. I went through the phase of hating my ethnicity before I hit puberty because I thought it was harder to make white friends or be “cool.” I got over it, it wasn’t true anyway. Then I made friends.

This isn’t a race problem. It’s like saying you blame your parents for not being rich so you could have the good life or have rich friends/girls without even trying. Nobody ever gave a damn about my ethnicity. If they do they can go jump off a cliff.

Hate to break it to you, but your girlfriend probably didn’t break up with you because of the color of your skin. Stop blaming things out of your control so you can feel like it wasn’t you who did it.

And be grateful to your parents while you can.

Great quote.


.

A few things here.

-Your british and feel the need to be white cause thats what everyone else thinks the ideal is. These things are localized , as the place where I live many trive to embrace the black culture.

-Every ethnicity have there particular niche that other ethnic groups envy, so be proud of your indian strong points.

-You are british and want to accepted as a britian the way white british are. I dont see the point in this, from my experience in life the ones remebered and most adored are the ones different from the rest and the ones that stood out. So why blend?

-Lastly, if these girls you are chasing reject you cause of your back ground or your race there not worth having and you will regret what relationship you do have in the long run.

an internet forum probably isn’t the best place to talk this out.

I think one of the main reasons I think this was is because in college there was this one girl who I can honestly say I had fallen in love, she was a friend of a friend and we got to know each other well, the more I got to know her the more I had fallen in love with her, she was very British, and as much as I tried, she just didn’t seem interested in me, and I can almost guarantee its because i’m indian, she wasn’t a bigot or a xenophobic or anything since we were quite good friends, but she didn’t consider me to be ‘bf material’ because of this.

She doesn’t want you because of YOU, not because you are Indian. Ask Yolked Up.

No one is able to deny or even reject his or her cultural background…not even you.

Nevertheless you are capable of defining yourself as a “British” and that’s your cultural identity but not your cultural background. Maybe you mix things up. A cultural background may be a part of an ongoing process of identification. But individuality and identity aren’t bound to ethnicity.

Indeed there is no problem on defining yourself as a “British” and respecting your family’s culture. Even though you don’t want to practice “their” habits and conventions you shouldn’t blind yourself to the facts.

India spawned one of the earliest high cultures, developed wide-spread and influential religions and is nowadays an ambitious nation which is going to become a new economic world power in the foreseeable future…nothing to be embarrassed by, right?

Moreover it should be noted, that Chicken Tikka Masala has become a British national dish whereas it is originally Indian. Nevertheless Britain is a multi-ethnic society and you cannot maintain that you have never been confronted with people who belonged to other ethnicities. Consequently if you live in a multi-ethnic society you have to accept other ethnic backgrounds. So why not yours?

This has nothing to do with women…completely nothing.

I’m a native German and if someone deprived the legitimation of my personal proudness towards my country due to political or historical terms this would be more legitimate than your own gratuitous deprivation.

Nevertheless I AM proud of where I come from and no one may change that.

Dude you have to accept yourself for who you are. You are a unique person and there won’t be another like ya! I mean how many british Indians do you know? Thats a Plus! So many chicks like a dude with a british accent anyways. If Britian bothers you that much why not come to a melting pot like America?

All in all this is NOT the place to talk something like this out. You really should talk about it to your parents. They might be more understanding than you think. Suicide is NEVER an option. Life is worth living as YOU. Dude…be Happy! :slight_smile:

You are 20 years old, practically just a kid. If she does not accept you because of your ethnicity, she is not worth having. Find someone who likes you for who you are.
