Thanks for explaining this! I feel dumb haha I mean I saw the pictures but somehow thought this debate was over braids in general. I get it now, and yea no Indian person I know corn rows their hair it's usually one or two thick braids. sorry ! :)

Doh! I feel stupid now lol, thanks for clarifying for me

Maybe I’m just missing the point ? I thought this article is about how braids are a black thing? I dunno I’m just confused

Traditional Indian women STILL wear braids as their preferred hairstyle. If you see an old Indian lady in your neighborhood in a sari, she’s either got a long braid or a bun. Guaranteed. But we never claim it or get worked up or upset when other people wear braids. Indian people for the most part don’t really give a…

Also... Not even trying to be controversial but I’m part Indian and i grew up thinking braids was OUR thing because long braided hair is a very traditional classic Indian look... Whenever I would go to Indian dances or weddings or other functions growing up we used to have extensions braided into our hair so we would…

For the past few weeks I’ve been seeing posts on Instagram about “boxer braids” and I was genuinely curious as to how these are different from cornrows but thank you for clarifying that they are, in fact, the same damn thing.

Hahaha that’s too funny and yea I get that too, people write comments on my dogs Instagram photos directly addressing him: “Jivi, you’re looking really cute after your haircut!” I find myself writing back in his voice: “thanks guys, woof woof!” But then I feel ashamed and stupid lol.

Thank you he’s pretty freaking cute, he’s so fat, and in the right persons hands he could totally be Instagram famous. He has the goods!

I think dog instagram became a legit thing after marnie the dog got super famous. Everybody thinks their dog is gonna be famous but most of those dogs aren’t that cute or witty.

I mean yea, the dog can get famous enough that he starts to get offers to endorse products sort of like d list celebs hawk fit tea and things like that on Instagram, but i wonder how much money a dog makes doing that. I’m truly not even hating on it, I just find it really confusing as to why someone would set out to…

It’s very weird and sad. It’s a bunch of humans impersonating their dogs just trying to get some stranger love on the gram. I want to hug all these humans and tell them I like them just the way they are, even if their dog isn't instafamous.

Nah just using it as an example.

Internet “fame” is very confusing to me. I made an Instagram for my dog which I admit is really lame but I didn’t want to flood my regular Instagram with tons of dog posts. So now my dog has an Instagram and dogs that he follows and it’s funny because there are thirsty dogs just like there are thirsty people on…

Hey, I'll admit that I'm slightly salty towards brunch in general because I'm a sober alcoholic haha. Damn you healthy non addicts and your ability to get bombed at brunch and not ruin your whole life! Damn you! :)

Also I totally agree about trying to “prove" how much you eat by rattling off your last three meals and then hearing yourself and knowing you sound like a total liar. Ugh! You can't win

I’m 31 and have weighed 90ish pounds since I was 12 and probably the worst accusations of having an eating disorder always came from my own mother who has a problem with over eating and just can’t fathom how anyone could weigh as “little” as I do without “cheating” somehow. It’s maddening, but I’ve learned to have…

He's so funny!!!

They're also offensive.

I think what people don’t like is that you say he doesn’t count as a POC actor in the show because he’s a token. So you’re just waving away his existence as yea yea but he doesn’t count. I don’t know what point you’re trying to make in all these comments you’ve written, but it seems like you’re trying to gloss over…

Are u even Indian bc I am and I don’t see him as a token I love this character he's funny, handsome and I think the most entertaining character on the show. I don't like when people of other cultures decide to get offended on our behalf...Indian people can stand up for ourselves and I think most would say they really…
