Kudos to Ellen! for being open minded and NOT having low self esteem and self conscious (in spite of being american) UNLIKE this stupid narrow minded Indian immigrant guy named Kumar, who unfortunately is still trying to get a strong foot-hold in the US soil and his desperation and constant attempt to “fit in” and trying to be(wannabe) “American” is quite evident from whatever he said.
Clearly, Kumar has very low self-esteem, lacks confidence and substance ; which is why he thinks that “wearing some high priced branded clothes will get you more respect from people”. Also most probably he is in the wrong neighborhood in USA, among wrong people, was among wrong people back in India as well – which means bad upbringing as his cheap shallow school of thought clearly displays.
Some facts I’d like to state point-wise, so its easier for people to read and grasp:
1)No one cares what you wear – be it WHAT you wear, or which brand. It is what you DO which is important. What you do, how you behave, how talented, creative, intelligent, enlightened you are in life is what ultimately matters.
2)Clearly, if you “think” that others will judge you based on what brand clothes you wear OR if others actually do judge you based on such shallow things – you need to
a) Move out that area
b) Make new friends and acquaintances – this time with people who are NOT shallow, for a change. People who are deep thinking, not just materialistic women.
c) Change your cheap, shallow thinking accordingly
3) We live in a free world(except some countries like muslin countries) and have a choice to think, wear, eat and say what we like. Again, saying that “in america, people judge you based on what brand you wear and “you are who you wear” and giving those impractical BMW and Mercedes examples clearly show how shallow you are. You lack any substance what so ever.
a) Who’s gonna give me money to buy BMW and Mercedes ? You? So if I don’t have money to buy luxury vehicles or clothes, then I’m somehow inferior to anyone who does? Money doesn’t grow on trees pal – I’m sure your parents must have taught you that multiple times when you were in India( I can bet)
b) Why should ” how much money I have in my bank” matter so much? If I’m educated, talented, creative, enlightened, humble, honest, disciplined, and non-obscuring – Having any or every one of the above mentioned qualities clearly means I’m MUCH MORE superior than you or any of your shallow 16 yr old buddies of yours – for whom only spending their parent’s monkey on “designer clothes” makes you “hip” and as if that will take you anywhere in life.
Where does your wrong, shallow, narrow-minded thinking originate from? Well, when someone comes from a poor place(your family, neighborhood, NOT India) suddenly to a BIG, rich place and/or gets rich suddenly – they go mad, they can’t control their emotions. and This is what happens. Clearly you’re actually not that educated(even if you have a couple of academic qualifications, neither do you deserve them nor did they make you enlightened). Degrees can be bought – but how do you buy humility? compassion? open mindedness?
I liked some of the other articles, this one was disappointing. It was short, shallow and disappointing 🙁
Advice: Stop trying to “fit in”. You are NOT and will NEVER be american, even if you manage to get a green card and eventually US citizenship – you will always remain Indian. Be proud of it. Nothing to be ashamed of. Be proud of who you are, your heritage and try to better yourself as a person – not what brand underwear you wear. Be humble to Indians, coz you are one of them, although you may “think” that you escaped and are american.
Its not what you wear, its who you are
