  3. January's MAGA-vs-Musk H1B debate ended w/Desi workers treated as punching bags

    One reason I'm a member of the Bay Area's leftie Alliance of South Asians Taking Action is because they have the ability to deal with nuance

    ASATA just published its understanding of how H1B workers fit into a larger vision of the dignity of immigrant workers, including spouses, kids aging out, Muslims, and green card applicants trapped in line forever

  11. "On social media platforms such as Twitter, and Blind, an app used by tech professionals many of whom are Indian immigrants, any criticism of hate crimes in India is quickly met with accusations of being unpatriotic or engaging in whataboutism, effectively stifling meaningful dialogue. This inconsistency speaks to a deeper issue of our insecurities, and our inability to introspect our cultural shortcomings."

  12. #AsianAmerican #women are getting #lungcancer despite never #smoking. It’s baffling scientists and leading to more research. Over 50% of Asian American women who have lung cancer have never smoked. For #Chinese and #IndianAmerican women who have lung cancer, that number shoots to 80% to 90%. #healthcare #publichealth #womenshealth #cancerhttps://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/asian-american-women-lung-cancer-rcna138895

    I feel kind of desperate/awkward, haha - just trying to avoid a repeat of a recent local meetup that made me feel incredibly uncomfortable as a #NBPOC/#NBWOC.

  14. "Proponents feel the revised version of the bill is something everyone can get behind. The Hindu American Foundation, which has been vocally against SB 403, praised the amendments, claiming they water down the emphasis on casteism."

  15. "It’s a movement that sometimes feeds off white supremacist sentiment, said Mishra, but…employs language fit for an overwhelmingly Democratic Indian American base. Terms like 'Hinduphobia,' which have been used by a tech-savvy generation of Hindu nationalists…are an example…'The claim is that any attack on Hindu nationalism or any attempt to critique the treatment of Muslims in India is Hinduphobia … is an attack"

  16. Hey there!

    I’m an
    #IndianAmerican 🇮🇳 🇺🇸 who makes #comics, writes #stories, and blogs about trying to become a professional (ie no dayjob) #creative & other stuff.

    I also have a later life
    #adhd diagnosis (at 49) and I’m still sorting through various griefs and trying to figure out what parts of my personality are masking and what are authentic parts of me.

    I almost finished a
    #journalcomic about how I figured out that I have ADHD but I got distracted by something else 🤷🏽‍♂️

  17. Exactly 100 years ago, the US Supreme Court's ruling in "U.S. v. Thind" led to every single Indian American having their citizenship forcibly removed.

    But how did the mass denaturalization *actually* happen?

    @prof_erikalee found the receipts and shared them here:

  18. One of the unexpected joys of this trip to India was the #ParimalShais concert at the #KochiBiennale. It was a joy to lose myself so completely for a few hours of Malayalam and global electronic music.

    It's a clichéd diaspora experience, but as an #IndianAmerican, I'm not used to being at a concert like this where everyone looks like me. I danced more than I ever have before. Maybe the tight space, the anonymity, the crowd of brown bodies?
