The mother here also has no desire to live in a civilization based on respect and freedom.

In all my days of debating tumblr, I have never seen an ignorant and absolutely crass response from a person who clearly cannot figure out reading comprehension for myself.

How dare you even say that my mother has no desire to live in a civilization that is based on respect and freedom? How dare you, a stranger that has no fucking clue about what arranged marriage or South Asian women do in order to thwart their sexism even say that she has no desire to live in a civilization such as that?

Your concept of liberty is absolute bullshit. Arranged marriages are again, based on the consent of THE PEOPLE IN THE MARRIAGE. The first meeting that the to-be bride and groom have is like a blind date, but the parents pick the date instead of the friend. How hard is that for someone to understand?

A civilization based on your values of respect and freedom obviously don’t include the thousands upon thousands of South Asian men and women who have been happy in arranged marriages. I’m so sorry that a backwards civilization like us brown people don’t live up to your Western standards of liberty. I’m sure that the skyrocketing divorce rate in the US is our fault because we, as brown women force ourselves to get into marriage and divorce our husbands because we’re so oppressed.

Want to help us brown women be equal to ~your~ standards? Give us the personal liberty and freedom for us to make the right decision about ourselves. My mother, who is in that backwards civilization that you are talking about, is sitting right beside me in Canada (gasp, a WESTERN COUNTRY!) laughing at your assumption that she does not deserve to live in your civilization.

Now I’m going to let my oppressed brown followers eat you alive for insulting my mother, who understands the fact that liberty and freedom is different for people unlike you. Fuck off.

Again, more mention of skin color. Wonder why that is? Again, I see people as people, not colors.The racism gets stronger with every reblog. It’s like a defense mechanism or something, huh?

And honestly, I couldn’t care less about your mom or your tumblr followers “attacking me.”

oh god

she went there

she really did

with a handy side of

It’s one thing to “see people as people” and a completely DIFFERENT THING to think “MY WAY IS THE ONLY RIGHT WAY TO DO THINGS THEREFORE YOU ARE WRONG BECAUSE MY IDEALS ARE WESTERNIZED AND THEREFORE BETTER THEN EVERYONE ELSES”
