My thoughts on brown girls

Brown is clearly the term we use in our very-inclusive and open minded realm of Indians, Middle Easterners, Muslims, Black, White, Hispanic or Asian person operating within the sphere of all things brown: you're either in brown town or your not. But you almost always find yourself spending a lot of time with them, one way or another.

Of course I tell my mother this, and she's looking at me in horror, her face white in shock. She proceeds to lecture me about how my expectations are too high and I shouldn't be comparing girls to some best version of themselves. Clearly, I disagree, and against my better judgement proceed to get my mom to understand my point of view. In vain.

The most beautiful girls I know, and the ones that I'm attracted to, are the ones with a mind over a brain, an identity over an attachment. The girl who really piques your curiosity enough that you actually want to ask her a million questions. And who am I to say because the pressure on an Indian girl is so great, I can't even begin to try and comprehend it. It's tough between figuring who you are, being molded into being a very specific thing by your parents, in the vast majority of instances controlled off of various social and community influences, and of course the dating issue. Girls are under a lot of pressure to do well and then suddenly to find a husband. Calm down people. Yes it's true people get to know each other more through texts than in person, but no it doesn't mean people who want something MORE will never find it.

Sorry Mom. But I'll know when I find the one. You are more than welcome to help me look though...just don't take the no's so personally :)
