Alright fedi hive mind, I have a challenge for you. I am looking for resources that explain ME/CFS and/or MCAS to a South Asian audience, to support a friend in explaining her needs to her family (immigrants in Canada). This has already stumped several South Asian people with ME, but I am asking just in case one of you has a special video or PDF or Facebook group hookup. Thank you for any leads!
#MAGA #indians Went All In on #Trump. Many Right-Wingers Can’t Stand Them
#SouthAsians are a powerful, visible minority in the Trump administration. They’re also facing a #racist backlash, fueled in part by the #whiteNationalist #Groyper movement.

⬆️ >> Institutional #racism in #US is not limited to #black people. …
>> It would not be until the #SupremeCourt ruled in the #Thind decision, on February 19, 1923, that #SouthAsians were [also] not considered "white”
Many #latinos still identify themselves as #white.
Many of them who voted for #Trump in 2024 now seem to have buyers' remorse.

"At a news conference, investigators explained the businesses being targeted have exclusively been South Asian-owned, including restaurants, bakeries, trucking and transport companies, car dealerships and jewelry stores."
Brown-on-Brown crime.

Cooking my Mummy's recipe #ChickenCurry and #BasmatiRice - bonus is my house smells properly like home.
I'm not the tidiest cook so I've got #haldi splodges all over me and lil ouchy burns from the spitting oil but I have a deep sense of satisfaction.
I'll post pics up later when it's done. Smells absolutely gorgeous and it is so, so, SO far from takeaway / white people's curries. I wish non-#SouthAsians could taste the real thing just once.

Namaskar Anirvan!🙏 I'm half-Bong (Dad from New Alipore), half-German, born in Germany, grew up in Canada, live in Montreal with my husband, 2 kids, 2 cats. My kids look white (which means people have been racist to #SouthAsians in front of them... But they call it out!), but they love their Indian family, food, culture & history. Pleased to meet you!

Talking about #SouthAsians being erased from #PopMusic and #IndieMusic history ~
Some of us have *never* been represented in popular art, graphics and design in the West.
I want to see visions of #SouthAsians on Mars, in futuristic versions of our cities, or just plain existing!
I want to dream a future where we aren't fucking invisible.
We've been whitewashed out of mainstream Western culture. I'm going to use #AIGeneratedArt to fight that imbalance.
@anirvan I already follow you but hi to all the other #SouthAsians #desi folx. I am a #filmmaker #tvdirector, #writer #queer #feminist I live between Berkeley and London.
One in three #SouthAsians with #ASCVD on statins are eligible for icosapent ethyl (IPE). IPE should be considered for this high-risk population.
Story I wrote for the #MedicalPost. (Sorry, password protected for #doctors and #pharmacists).
Highlights:
A third of South Asians in Canada with known atherosclerotic #cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and who take #statins would qualify to get additional treatment with icosapent ethyl (IPE).
This is a significant-sized population who could benefit from the additional lowering of triglycerides using IPE, according to a study presented at the recent annual meeting of the Canadian Cardiovascular Society (#CCS). This year’s CCS had 1,400 in-person delegates, over 350 online delegates and 130 sessions.
However, a major study, the REDUCE-IT trial driving the use of IPE had very few non-white participants, according to a poster abstract presented by Canadian researchers.
IPE is a highly purified preparation of #eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which is an omega-3 fatty acid. It is used to treat severe hypertriglyceridemia (500 mg/dL and over). It is used as an adjunct to statin therapy to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in people whose serum #triglyceride levels are over 150 mg/dL.
