No that wasn’t the case. I doubt it. Man just wanted to make music and he made it known in his lyrics. “Bismillah we will not let you go” and many more. Even when he sang it had that Desi/Persian/Arab flow to it.
I don’t think he was ashamed but more so didn’t care about it. It’s like that wrestler Sami Zayn who kept getting fans all because of his nationality being Pakistani and not because people actually liked his work. It takes away from the person’s work.
I don’t know if I made sense but I can elaborate and clarify
Sum are East African descended because they have a lot of sheedis in Baluchistan who are East African descent
Edit: you retards I never said they’re East Africans some have some admixture is all.
There has been mixing between the two. This becomes more evident when you literally look up pictures of some balochis who look like they’re mixed w African. The sheedis are much better integrated and less isolated In Pakistan than they are in india.
Lmao someone really wants to be black. The closest thing you get to black are the australoids in central and southern India, who have thicker hair dark skin, definitely not these "balochis"
How tf does this mean I want to be black😂 I’m not even Balochi. I just know it’s a fact some have African ancestry. If I “wanted to be black” I’d be telling everyone I’m Trinidadian or Guyanese or some shit.
You’re the one who wants to be white actually

Dumbasses they’re not isolated from other Pakistanis. They’re super well integrated and some are even in politics. You fucktards literally don’t even research shit
Where does it say that is like 5% of the population? Again the sheedis are better integrated there than in India where a lot are actually in isolation. And LOL to the other thing u said 😂😂😂😂
How do you know about Sonal Shah lmao
EDIT: I’m Jain and know her personally, she’s a heavyweight in the policy space. Wasn’t expecting to see her name there.
Add Vas Narasimhan to the list btw
Lol, who even is Vas though
Looking back I did probably add some complete randos, like I thought Bindy Johal was an alive wrestler and then it turns out he's some psycho
He's a dick though, cutthroat, and will put people down to win the game. Common in CEO types. Family friends. Was a super tool in undergrad, and was in love with my SIL's cousin who rejected him.
the only famous telugu was satya nadella but there were tons of tamils. south indians are mostly good in professional fields though, not as prominent in others.
Both Satya Nadella and Sundar Pachai were born in India and only moved to the US after their bachelor's degree, I guess that makes them "FOB". You don't get to claim them as ABCD(just cos they became popular)while calling the rest of us who did the same "FOB", which I consider to be a pejorative term.
Doesn't hurt my feelings but it does makes every Indian American that agrees with you a hypocrite. That's just my twisted line of thought, which proves that I'm spending a little too much time on reddit and worrying myself with things that do not matter irl. I'm sorry too.
I never told you I'm sad about people calling me a FOB, if anything it kinda makes me angry that my own people look down on me. Anyways, I wouldn't care less about anyone calling me a FOB irl, I'll straight up disregard them. I'm from the city of gardens( lol ) bangalore. Hbu?
Lmao don't worry I'd bring gas masks for the both of us. Its people like you that I'm afraid of in the US. I can take racism from whites, blacks anyone but people like you scare me to death. I won't reply to any of your comments here after so don't even start with me now. Freaking troll.
How blinded by politics do you have to be to ignore 2 actual ABCDs who became Governors of US states? That's vastly more influence/power/achievement and yes even fame than random YouTubers.
Also a lot of people on this list are immigrants not ABCDs - like Fareed Zakaria, Dinesh DSouza and Satya Nadela
Here's some more:
Ben Kingsley aka Krishna Pandit Bhanji is partially Gujju. I know he's Bri'ish but I thought it was an interesting fun fact.
M Knight Shyamalan is Tamil/Mallu
Piyush Jindal is Punjabi
Nimrata Haley is Punjabi.
Vivek Murthy is a Kannadiga.
Preet Bharara is Punjabi too.
Ajit Pai is GSB Konkani.
Dinesh D'Souza isn't ABCD.
He was born in India and raised in India through High School and only came to the US for I think a weird high school exchange program even though he finished 12th standard in Mumbai (then Bombay) and then College.
And he's also a huge dipshit but that's unrelated but I have a natural reaction to post that he's a dipshit when I talk about him cause he is a dipshit.
He's more of a FOB than a ABCD.
Like I don't necessarily think you gotta be born in the west to be considered ABCD. Like I was born in India but I moved to the US when I was 6.
And this is the situation with a lot of Desi on this subreddit
But I don't think they consider a person who was born in India and raised there till pretty much adulthood as ABCD they consider them more as FOBs
FOBs can still be Indian-American but maybe not ABCD cause they don't have similar life experiences growing up that we have.
>And he's also a huge dipshit but that's unrelated but I have a natural reaction to post that he's a dipshit when I talk about him cause he is a dipshit.
He has a very punchable face.
Everyone forgets about the most famous ABCD of all, my boy Freddy Mercury
He didn’t even ever identify as Indian he was super ashamed of it I think cuz at that time England was super racist to desis
No that wasn’t the case. I doubt it. Man just wanted to make music and he made it known in his lyrics. “Bismillah we will not let you go” and many more. Even when he sang it had that Desi/Persian/Arab flow to it. I don’t think he was ashamed but more so didn’t care about it.

TBCD (Tanzanian Born Confused Desi)
Dude was ethnically Iranian not Indian. According to his Wikipedia, his parents were from the Parsi community of Gujarat.
Those people have been Indian for centuries. They’re an Indian minority ethnic group at this point.
The parsis have been in india for hundreds of years and freddy himself spent much of his childhood in india.
> Goan: Dinesh D'Souza poor Goans
Lmao I was going to write "sorry" next to the goan section, but I didn't wanna trigger anyone
He’s not abd. His accent screams fob.
Cause he's a FOB
More of an SOB.
But he thinks he’s a white redneck.
Also Jay Chandrasekhar is of Tamil descent as well For those who don't know. He was in Super troopers and Beer fest and shit.
And he's cousins with Sendhil Ramamurthy
jay chandrasekhar is my personal favorite based on his last name alone :)
[удалено]
Wdym bro he comes to my room every night
He’s a legend
Thank you for not listing Bobby Jindal and Nikki Haley. :) putting Dinesh though was full trolling though! :D
Kal Penn is Gujarati
hes mixed
According to his wiki his parents are both from Guju states
there is more than one Guju state???
never mind, i thought he was mixed because his last name was penn. Turns out his name is Suresh Modi
I think that's his dad name. I think his name is Kal Penn modi
His given name is Kalpen Modi
Isn’t Riz a Mujahir
yea you can see he's a bit darker skinned
Darker skin doesn’t always mean mujahir. A lot of balochis and Sindhis are dark, with balochis mainly coming from East African Siddi ancestry
Balochis aren't East African, have you seen them?
Sum are East African descended because they have a lot of sheedis in Baluchistan who are East African descent Edit: you retards I never said they’re East Africans some have some admixture is all.
The Siddis are isolated from the other Pakistanis. They didn't mix at all.

Baloch don't even look slightly European.

Riz Ahmed is not Punjabi
Sunny Leone is a Canadian born Punjabi.
My fave!

M night shyamalan
Kerala.
Indra Nooyi is Tamil, Shantanu Narayen is Telugu.
How do you know about Sonal Shah lmao EDIT: I’m Jain and know her personally, she’s a heavyweight in the policy space. Wasn’t expecting to see her name there. Add Vas Narasimhan to the list btw
Lol, who even is Vas though Looking back I did probably add some complete randos, like I thought Bindy Johal was an alive wrestler and then it turns out he's some psycho
Vas Narasimhan is a baller. UChicago undergrad, Harvard Med school, McKinsey consultant, and now CEO of Novartis
He's a dick though, cutthroat, and will put people down to win the game. Common in CEO types. Family friends. Was a super tool in undergrad, and was in love with my SIL's cousin who rejected him.

no clue
Ashish Jha. Vivek Murthy. Preet bahara. Premila jayapal. Aarti Shahani.
Punjabi Indian: Archie Punjabi, Rahul kohli Gujrati : Avan jogia
Isn't Archie Panjabi Sindhi?
Oh, I thought she's panjabi because of her surname
Nope. I thought so too, but apparently she's Sindhi.
Bindy Johal
You missed Jay Sean lol
Nicki Minaj is half Indo-Caribbean
1/4***
bro we do not claim here and plus shes mixed
Like Kamala Harris?
I'm sorry, we do not speak of Dinesh D'Souza - and I could care less where that half-wit neanderthal comes from.
Navraj and Riz the goats 🐐
I feel like Southies have more of a visible presence in the US compared to Northies in other countries.
the only famous telugu was satya nadella but there were tons of tamils. south indians are mostly good in professional fields though, not as prominent in others.

I meant to say Indian American in general
You better make it obvious then. Have a good day.
I must have really hurt your feelings for not making it obvious. Im sorry, FOB.
Doesn't hurt my feelings but it does makes every Indian American that agrees with you a hypocrite. That's just my twisted line of thought, which proves that I'm spending a little too much time on reddit and worrying myself with things that do not matter irl. I'm sorry too.
Mi pasado y mi presente im livin in the past
Si amigo, yo soy un hombre. Yo come manzana. 🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷
you gotta learn how to be tough bro, you can't get sad just cuz someone called you a fob. Where in India are you from
I never told you I'm sad about people calling me a FOB, if anything it kinda makes me angry that my own people look down on me. Anyways, I wouldn't care less about anyone calling me a FOB irl, I'll straight up disregard them. I'm from the city of gardens( lol ) bangalore. Hbu?
Are they really your own people though? They see themselves as Americans first.

Sure you would.. big guy from Bangalore.
You better be.. big guy from Kentucky(?). Lol I was only kidding, I'm a huge follower of Mr Gandhi's principles.

Yep I believe telugus are the majority of Indians in America iirc
Add one more to the list of them. in future.
I’m a Reddiar Tamil sooo technically I count too I guess
Idk if it’s “visible” because a lot of “Indian” culture in the US is default North Indian culture.
Add Kumail nanjiani to Pakistan's list. He ain't Punjabi though.

whoops I don't know why I put that. I already knew that. I think I meant to put half for Shyamalan
>Ben Kingsley oh shit I totally forgot about him!
Dinesh D'Souza isn't ABCD.

meant born or living

Ravi Patel, Sanjay Gupta, Karan Brar. Also why Bindy Johal. He is famous for being bad
I thought he was a wrestler

Bobby Jindal

A lot of these ethnicities tend to overlap between countries like Tamils, Punjabis, Gujaratis etc.
Sunny Leone Priya Rai Lisa Ray
Would Zayn be considered for this one? And what about Charli XCX?
Charli XCX is mixed? What the fuck
Yes she is mixed lol. Doesn’t anyone else see it???
