#honestly the same goes for media representing poc#the amount of people who have been so rude about devi in nhie not representing them is just….. mind blowing to me#bc they’ve decided that bc she doesn’t represent their experiences she couldn’t possibly represent anyone’s#and anyone who does feel represented by her is lame or less than and it sucks lol#i don’t really understand this push to divide each other in our own damn communities#this effort to act like there’s only one experience and if you don’t have that experience you’re invalid#people constantly talk about how frustrating it is that she hates her culture and it’s like. i’m sorry you feel that way#but some of us DO struggle w our relationships to our culture and the brown community#it is a thing even if you didn’t experience it or don’t think it’s valid#i just hate the way queer stories and stories about poc are evaluated based on relatability to everyone if it doesn’t tick that box it sucks#and i know it’s bc we still have so little and people are trying to fit their experiences into those stories to have something#but it isn’t one piece of media you can’t relate to’s fault you can’t relate to it#if anything that proves that we need more bc one or two things can’t possibly be for everyone#sorry lol i have a lot to say about the mindy kaling discourse bc the takes i’ve seen from other south asians are just. frustrating lol#neha rambles
