india is a patchwork quilt made up of different cultures and languages and traditions.
or at least, that's what an outsider sees.
because in some sense, I am.
yes, I have brown skin and dark eyes,
and have grown up with chota bheem
but I am from here
the United States of America,
a country eternal in its righteousness {a tale told by oppressors of every nation since time}
that still, for the love of god {because that's something holding everyone back}, cannot for the life of it figure out that
sometimes
people are different
and that is ok.
