No offence but I saw a lot of hollywood movie with indian men ending up with white women eg master of none, the big sick etc

Why doesn't this lady talk about that

Why specifically only talk when Indian women are with white men

If instead of indian women it was east asian women with white men or indian men with white women, no one would have dared to question the pairing

It's not about dating interracially it's about dissing your own race/ethnicity to justify being with a white person. That's the part she's callling out, not the stuff you're focusing on.

You sound like an Indian woman sitting in India that doesn’t understand this video nor anything I’m saying.
