'u lived in the mainland all ur life and ur not even fully khasi by blood' i am well aware of that i keep trying to learn more and stay in my lane in any political discourse abt the NE.
#my mom has always made an effort to keep me surrounded by khasi culture
#in terms of language food folktales music to an extent
#i've been visiting my family in meghalaya almost every yr since i was 2
#which is far more of a cultural connection than my telugu side...my dad himself doesn't really care
#also this all keeps bringing me to how passing privilege isn't a thing
#i don't look like what a mainlander expects a NE person to look like
#but when i talk about my identity and what feels like home and what i have more connection to
#it's always...the khasi side because that's just how i've grown up no matter what place in the mainland i live in
#and the moment people hear abt the khasi side the racism starts
#and i always hesitated to call it racism
#but that's what it was
#i cannot in any form or shape claim to talk about what it is like to live in any part of the northeast
#but what i can do is speak to my own experience of being a strange bastardized neither-here-nor-there person
#the dissonance is strong
#this is rambling
