Have you ever felt this?

Have you ever felt shame to belong to a group/race of people despite doing the right thing?

I feel this right now, the feeling of shame even when I've never done something like this before. It's not new and I'm aware of how Indians scam people all over the world through their call centres. I'm sorry to say but I hope these dip***** can go f*** themselves for scamming people of their hard earned money.

It saddens me to accept the fact that I'm an Indian and I've always preferred to not share my nationality to avoid being judged. It does make us all seem bad even when there's a couple of us who aren't out there to scam people.

As an Indian, I just make fun of other Indians (especially the creeps and bigots 🤣) but never feel diminished by India itself. It does make us seem bad (I've had people block me here before interacting) but once you have a proper interaction, nationality ceases to appear as a major part of who you Re.

@MasterofNone I understand the perspective but I tend to keep my nationality under the table for a conversation as it's a buzz kill.

@Beatbox34 okay but you can see I've put it in my profile. I used to hide it too. It gives advantage, I agree. But you'll always have it inside your head that you're indian. When you meet them IRL you'd feel great levels of inferiority complex. So it's better to wear the "Indian tag" like a badge and relate yourself with those Indians who you think are great and not the most of them who are crap.
