How can I assimilate?
It’s been more than 3 years since I came to Canada. Ever since I came here I noticed it was very easy to spot a South Asian guy who came here recently and a guy who’s born and raised here.
Recently I’ve been seeing a stark difference on how people treat both of these people of same ethnicity . Naturally I want to be on the other side but I don’t know if I am or not ?
A lot of racist post I saw are mainly targeted towards new immigrants and I can get an idea why.
When I reminisce about my first few months in Canada I can’t help but get angry on myself about how I carried myself. It has decreased my confidence whenever I talk to someone of other ethnicities especially women. All these stuff has led me to develop some inferiority complex.I don’t have enough friends and pretty much my entire friend circle is Indian desis. I don’t hate that and I like all my friends but I think being in such a diverse country it doesn’t match.
In the end I just want to say it was very hard to write this and embarrassing too but I hope I can get some meaningful replies.
