Racism in West Texas Is a Whole Different Level, So Is Nature, Space, Friendship
When we experience success - as a man, a company, or a civilization - a new struggle begins.

An Indian’s Survival Guide to West Texas Racism
A Field Manual Co-Authored by an Indian (India) and an Indian (Native America)
West Texas racism is not loud racism.
It is polite confusion wearing boots.
It smiles. It shakes your hand. It asks questions that sound friendly but land like paperwork.
To survive it, an Indian from India teams up with an Indian from America (Native American). One has endured colonization twice. The other never stopped enduring it. Together, they form a coalition, swap notes, and create a survival guide.
Not to fight.
To deflect, confuse, and out-polite the politeness.
Rule #1: Never Answer the Question They Think They Asked
Scenario: Thanksgiving
Texan: “Did you have a good Thanksgiving?”
This is not about food.
This is a loyalty test disguised as turkey.
Correct Indian Response:
“I’m more on the side of the Indian.”
Pause. Smile. Maintain eye contact.
If they laugh, you’re in.
If they freeze, you’ve won.
Scenario: “You Speak Good English”
Texan: “Wow, you speak good English.”
Indian Retort:
“You too.”
Say it warmly. As if you mean it.
Let it sit between you like an unsolved riddle.
Scenario: The Follow-Up Origin Trap
Texan: “Where are you from?”
Indian: “India.”
Texan: “No, I mean originally.”
Indian Response:
“Originally? Stardust. Like you.”
This usually ends the conversation or starts a philosophy degree.
Scenario: The Accent Compliment
Texan: “I like your accent.”
Indian Response:
“Thanks. I borrowed it from history.”
If pressed further:
“It’s vintage. Colonial era.”
Scenario: Church Hospitality
Church Lady: “We don’t see color here.”
Indian Response:
“That’s okay. I brought my own.”
Optional follow-up:
“All 1.4 billion shades.”
Scenario: The Job Praise
Texan: “You’re doing really well… considering.”
Indian Response:
“Considering what?”
Do not blink.
Let them answer their own sin.
Scenario: The Tech Shock
Texan: “Y’all got internet where you’re from?”
Indian Response:
“Yes. We invented waiting.”
Or, if feeling generous:
“We’re beta-testing reality.”
Scenario: The Name Problem
Texan: “Can I just call you something easier?”
Indian Response:
“Sure. You can call me ‘Sir.’”
Scenario: The Driving Compliment
Texan: “You drive pretty good.”
Indian Response:
“Thank you. We train in chaos.”
Scenario: The Food Fear
Texan: “Is that… spicy?”
Indian Response:
“Only emotionally.”
Scenario: The Party Invite
Texan: “We’re having a small get-together. Very… traditional.”
Indian Response:
“Perfect. I’ll bring tradition too. It dances.”
Scenario: The Politics Probe
Texan: “So what do you people think about America?”
Indian Response:
“Which version?”
Scenario: The Native American Alliance Moment
At this point, the Native American co-author steps in.
Texan: “So… what kind of Indian are you?”
Indian (India): “Imported.”
Indian (Native): “Original.”
Together:
“Same warranty issues.”
Bond formed. Racism confused.
Scenario: The Compliment Sandwich
Texan: “You’re very polite.”
Indian Response:
“It’s defensive.”
Scenario: The Final Boss
Texan: “No offense, but—”
Indian Response:
“None taken. I collect them.”
Advanced Survival Tips
Smile, but never explain. Explanation is surrender.
Confuse before you confront. Confusion is the West Texas kryptonite.
Form coalitions. Especially with people who were here before the map.
Remember: most racism here thinks it’s being nice.
Conclusion
West Texas racism is not hatred.
It’s curiosity with bad manners and excellent posture.
You don’t defeat it by yelling.
You defeat it by out-politenessing it until it questions itself.
And when they ask again at Thanksgiving—
“Did you have a good Thanksgiving?”
You already know what to say.
“I’m more on the side of the Indian.”
Then pass the gravy.

I Am Indian, I Am One in a Billion: A Satirical Ode to the Indian Identity
Some people say, “I am one in a million.” A million, they think, is rare. But I am Indian, my friend. I am one in a billion. And let me tell you, in India, that’s not just rare—it’s statistically unavoidable.
Being Indian is an identity so complex, so multi-layered, that anthropologists probably invented the word “diversity” just to describe us. We are a nation where a single family can speak three languages, celebrate five festivals in a week, and survive on a diet that includes three forms of dairy, a dozen types of chutney, and an inexplicable love for paneer.
We are a people who can simultaneously embrace yoga, cricket, Bollywood melodrama, startup culture, arranged marriages, and obsessive WhatsApp forwards. Try to explain that to anyone outside India, and they’ll nod politely while slowly backing away, whispering, “This is… complicated.”
To be Indian is to live in delightful contradictions:
We believe in destiny and luck, yet we also think if we Google it, we can control it.
We queue for hours to vote, yet honking aggressively in traffic is considered a patriotic duty.
We swear by chai, but also consume more cola than anywhere else on the planet.
And of course, we are one in a billion in the most literal sense. Every statistic somehow involves India. One in every six humans on Earth is Indian. That’s right. Six people—one of them probably invented a WhatsApp forward you just received.
Being Indian also comes with its own brand of genius and chaos. We have invented over 22 official languages, yet most of us communicate in Hinglish—a language only comprehensible to other Indians, usually involving a lot of hand gestures and exaggerated eyebrow movements. We have a rich history of science and math, yet we still argue endlessly over the “correct” way to make chai.
Indian identity is not just about nationality; it is a lifestyle. You don’t simply live life; you survive cricket commentary debates, WhatsApp family groups that never end, and the annual existential crisis triggered by an Indian wedding that costs more than a small nation’s GDP.
So yes, I am Indian. I am one in a billion. Statistically improbable, culturally incomprehensible, and proudly untranslatable. And if you think that’s an exaggeration, just try explaining Indian bureaucracy to a foreigner—they’ll start questioning the very fabric of reality itself.
In the end, being Indian is like being part of the ultimate reality show: chaotic, colorful, inexplicable, yet somehow endlessly entertaining. And just like our billion-strong population, we keep going—because if there’s one thing India teaches you, it’s patience, resilience, and the ability to laugh at life while sipping chai on a traffic-clogged street in Delhi.
So next time someone says, “I am one in a million,” smile knowingly and say: “Cute. I am Indian. I am one in a billion.”
I Am Indian, I Am One in a Billion
Some people say, “I am one in a million.” Cute. I am Indian. I am one in a billion. And in India, being one in a billion basically means you’re impossible to understand, impossible to manage, and yet somehow impossible to ignore.
We are a people who:
Can speak three languages at home, four at work, and argue fluently in Hinglish on WhatsApp.
Celebrate Diwali, Eid, Christmas, Holi, and literally any festival that exists on the internet.
Believe in karma, luck, astrology, and the magical healing power of turmeric—sometimes all at once.
Traffic rules? Optional. Honking? Mandatory. Driving in India is like playing a real-life Mario Kart—except everyone is Mario, Luigi, and Bowser at the same time, and somehow everyone is winning.
We love cricket like it’s oxygen. Bollywood like it’s Shakespeare. And chai? Chai is life. Forget coffee, forget therapy—chai solves all problems, even existential ones.
We are also absurdly practical: we can code an app that changes the entire Indian economy, but can’t find the proper lid for a pressure cooker. We queue for hours to vote but jaywalk like it’s an extreme sport.
Our families are a sport in themselves. One WhatsApp message, and suddenly your cousins, uncles, aunts, and a distant great-uncle you’ve never met know your entire life story. Privacy is a concept for other countries.
And weddings…oh, weddings. In India, a wedding is basically the Olympics of overachieving. You spend three months planning a one-day event, which will then last five days, and every day has its own dress code. Yes, even for the guests.
Being Indian also means mastering contradictions:
We complain about corruption, but we also find ways to bribe our way through bureaucracy.
We love democracy, but we’ll argue for hours over which politician promised what 20 years ago.
We invent apps that go global, yet the government website still asks you to fax forms.
And above all, we survive. Somehow, we survive everything: monsoons, traffic, chaos, endless WhatsApp forwards, and that one neighbor who plays devotional songs at 4 AM.
So yes, I am Indian. I am one in a billion. Statistically insane, culturally incomprehensible, yet endlessly entertaining. If you think that’s exaggeration, try explaining Indian bureaucracy to a foreigner—they’ll start crying and googling plane tickets.
Next time someone brags, “I am one in a million,” just smile and say: “Adorable. I am Indian. I am one in a billion—and don’t you forget it.”
I Am Indian, I Am One in a Billion
Some people say, “I am one in a million.” Cute. I am Indian. I am one in a billion. And yes, that’s statistically terrifying.
We can speak three languages at home, four at work, and argue in Hinglish online so fast even Google Translate gives up.
Our street food is a contact sport. If you survive pani puri, you survive life.
Traffic rules? Optional. Honking? Mandatory. Driving in India is basically Mario Kart meets Jumanji.
We believe in karma, astrology, and turmeric—all in the same conversation.
Cricket is religion. Bollywood is Shakespeare. Chai is oxygen.
We queue for hours to vote but jaywalk like it’s a professional sport.
Indian weddings are not events. They are marathons, with dress codes for every day, and ceremonies that last longer than some relationships.
Our families are a multi-level marketing scheme of gossip. One WhatsApp message, and suddenly your distant uncle knows your GPA, salary, and your crush’s horoscope.
Government websites still ask you to fax forms. Meanwhile, we send rockets to space. Priorities.
Monsoons flood everything. Wi-Fi floods nowhere. But we adapt, survive, complain, and take selfies in both.
Indian logic: “Why queue when you can push?” “Why sleep when you can binge Netflix?” “Why pay full price when negotiation is life?”
We are a nation where street cows ignore traffic lights, politicians ignore promises, and everyone ignores your personal space.
Our food has at least 17 levels of spice, 3 kinds of chutney, and 1 existential crisis per bite.
We celebrate festivals like it’s an Olympic sport—Diwali, Eid, Holi, Christmas, Pongal, Ganesh Chaturthi…if it exists, we party.
We complain about corruption, but we also call it “shortcut to efficiency.”
Indian patience is legendary. We survive monsoons, power cuts, infinite queues, and uncle-level advice on literally everything.
“I am one in a billion” also means: statistically, one of us invented a WhatsApp forward you just received.
We have 22 official languages, 33 million gods, 8 billion opinions, and 1 billion people who all think they’re right.
So yes, I am Indian. Chaotic, loud, impossible, brilliant—and hilarious. If you don’t get us, don’t worry: we barely get ourselves.
Next time someone says, “I am one in a million,” smile. Then whisper: “Adorable. I am Indian. I am one in a billion.”
I Am Indian, I Am One in a Billion
Some people say, “I am one in a million.” Cute. I am Indian. I am one in a billion. Statistically terrifying.
We speak three languages at home, four at work, and invent Hinglish online just to confuse foreigners.
Our street food is a contact sport. Survive pani puri, survive life.
Traffic rules? Optional. Honking? Mandatory. Driving in India = Mario Kart × Jumanji × Survivor.
We believe in karma, astrology, and turmeric—sometimes all at once.
Cricket isn’t a sport. It’s religion.
Bollywood isn’t entertainment. It’s Shakespeare…with songs and overacting.
Chai isn’t a beverage. It’s oxygen.
We queue for hours to vote but jaywalk like it’s an extreme sport.
Indian weddings are marathons with dress codes for every day, and ceremonies that last longer than some relationships.
Families here are a multi-level marketing scheme of gossip. One WhatsApp message = everyone knows your life story.
Government websites still ask you to fax forms. Meanwhile, we send rockets to space. Priorities.
Monsoons flood streets, Wi-Fi floods nowhere. Still, we survive, complain, and take selfies.
Indian logic: “Why queue when you can push?” “Why sleep when you can binge Netflix?” “Why pay full price when bargaining is life?”
Street cows ignore traffic lights. Politicians ignore promises. Everyone ignores personal space.
Food has at least 17 levels of spice, 3 kinds of chutney, and 1 existential crisis per bite.
We celebrate festivals like it’s an Olympic sport. Diwali, Eid, Holi, Christmas, Pongal, Ganesh Chaturthi—if it exists, we party.
We complain about corruption, but secretly call it “shortcut to efficiency.”
Indian patience is legendary. Survive monsoons, power cuts, infinite queues, and uncle-level advice on literally everything.
One of us probably invented a WhatsApp forward you just received.
We have 22 official languages, 33 million gods, 8 billion opinions, and 1 billion people who all think they’re right.
The national sport? Arguing on Facebook about which state has the best biryani.
The national pastime? Losing your phone in your own house.
We believe in destiny but Google every horoscope anyway.
We fix problems with duct tape, prayer, and sheer willpower.
Our public transport is an extreme sport. Survive it, earn a medal.
We love memes, yet will forward chain messages like it’s sacred scripture.
Indian Wi-Fi is legendary. It works on hope, prayers, and occasional surges.
Our politicians can sleep through parliamentary debates, yet wake up to argue over cricket scores.
We have apps that run the economy but can’t locate a basic government form online.
Our neighbors know everything about you. Privacy? Never heard of it.
We measure life in chai breaks, wedding invites, and WhatsApp forwards.
We have national heroes, movie heroes, cricket heroes…sometimes all in the same week.
Indian roads double as yoga studios. Everyone stretches, swerves, meditates…survives.
If someone calls you “tall,” we measure in comparison to Rickshaw drivers.
We multitask like no other: typing, eating, negotiating, and debating religion—all at once.
Our version of extreme sports? Participating in a wedding in 45°C heat while wearing 12kg of silk.
We’re born negotiators. Try haggling over a 5-rupee candy and experience a masterclass.
Indian humor? Sarcastic, absurd, dark, self-deprecating, and sometimes incomprehensible to outsiders.
We can survive three exams, two jobs, and a government office visit in one day.
Our pets are often smarter than the humans around them, and sometimes, more polite.
Festivals are our cardio. Dancing, eating, shopping, arguing over sweets…basically a triathlon.
Bollywood teaches us love, life lessons, and occasionally, how to dance while in traffic.
Indian weddings are the only place where 1,000 people can argue about food quantity and still eat 20 dishes each.
“Indian time” is a cultural institution. Arrive on time? You’re early.
Rain is a national holiday. AC is a luxury. Power cuts are meditation sessions.
The national handshake? Namaste. The national hug? Tight, awkward, and long.
Indian parents have PhDs in guilt-tripping, life advice, and career planning—all simultaneously.
We survive bureaucracy like it’s Mount Everest. Paperwork, bribes, queues…summit achieved.
Our weddings, food, festivals, and chaos are a full-contact sport of culture, survival, and absurdity.
So yes, I am Indian. Chaotic, loud, impossible, brilliant, hilarious. If you don’t get us, don’t worry: we barely get ourselves.
Next time someone says, “I am one in a million,” just smile knowingly:
“Adorable. I am Indian. I am one in a billion—and statistically unavoidable.”

Race, Racism, and the Ultimate Test of the White Ego: Indian Traffic Edition
If you want to truly test the limits of a white person’s patience, self-perception, and survival instincts, forget discussing politics, cricket, or Bollywood. The funniest—and most reliable—topic is race and racism. Why? Because nothing exposes the ultra-fragile white ego quite like India… and particularly, Indian traffic.
Imagine this: a foreigner, pale and pristine, steps onto a Delhi street. Their mind is armored with polite assumptions about queueing, personal space, and the universal concept of “hello.” And then… reality hits.
A motorbike brushes past them, three feet away. A rickshaw swerves around, nearly taking their sandal as collateral damage. A cow ambles casually into the chaos, utterly indifferent to physics or the human sense of entitlement. Meanwhile, the white visitor instinctively reaches for a handshake or a “Namaste”—and nobody even looks up.
Welcome to India, where the white ego goes to die.
Race discussions in the West often involve careful phrasing, microaggressions, and the occasional polite nod. In India, the conversation is far simpler: “You might be white, but can you survive this intersection without screaming?”
Here, your fragile assumptions about being “special” or “unique” are tested not in the abstract, but in street-level chaos. You are no longer one in a million—you are one in a billion, barely making it through a swarm of auto-rickshaws and hand-pulled carts. The Indian way of life treats white fragility like a mosquito in the monsoon: it exists, it buzzes, and then it’s promptly drowned in the chaos.
Consider the Indian traffic metaphor:
The rickshaw: agile, chaotic, and relentless—like gossip at an Indian wedding.
The motorbike: swift, unpredictable, and capable of brushing past you without acknowledgment—like Indian bureaucracy.
The pedestrian: constantly negotiating space, shoving through crowds, chanting prayers, and eating pani puri simultaneously—like survival itself.
You may think you’re prepared to talk about race, but can you negotiate your way across a street where a goat, three cows, two scooters, and an old man carrying a sack of mangoes all claim the same patch of asphalt? Suddenly, your carefully rehearsed opinions about equity, justice, or cultural sensitivity seem absurd. Here, survival is the ultimate lens through which race—and life—is understood.
Racism in India is like traffic signals in Delhi: largely theoretical. People brush against each other, shove past, and do not stop to say hello—not out of malice, but because life is too chaotic to pause for fragile egos. The white visitor, accustomed to polite nods and apologies, now realizes the shocking truth: the world does not revolve around you, nor your feelings about race.
Engage white people on race in India, and you have the perfect storm: a topic they over-intellectualize meets a reality they cannot survive unscathed. The Indian metaphor is perfect: it’s like trying to meditate in a thunderstorm while juggling burning jalebis—chaotic, confusing, and humbling in equal measure.
Ultimately, India teaches a lesson no theory can: fragility is a luxury, and humility is survival. And for white people, trying to assert moral superiority in Indian traffic is like bringing a teacup to a monsoon river: it will spill, it will overflow, and you will be drenched—both literally and metaphorically.
So, the next time someone wants to have “a serious discussion about race,” just smile knowingly, point at the nearest intersection, and say:
“Ah yes. But can you survive that intersection?”
Because in India, race, ego, and morality are ultimately tested not in lectures or debates—but in the raw, chaotic, unapologetic street-level universe of life itself.

1️⃣ Some people say the funniest topic with white people is race.
Wrong. The funniest, most effective topic is race in India. Because here, their ego meets its first real test: traffic. ๐๐ฅ
2️⃣ Imagine this: a white visitor steps onto a Delhi street. Their mind: polite assumptions, personal space, handshakes. Reality: chaos. ๐ต๐จ
3️⃣ Motorbike brushes past. Rickshaw swerves. A cow casually strolls by. No one says hello. Not even Namaste. ๐๐คท♂️
4️⃣ White ego status: critically endangered. ๐ซฃ
5️⃣ In India, survival > theory. Your carefully rehearsed “I’m enlightened” opinions? Irrelevant when a goat is negotiating space with a motorbike and a mango cart. ๐๐ต๐ฅญ
6️⃣ Indian traffic = the ultimate metaphor for life: chaotic, relentless, and full of people who do not care about your feelings. ๐ฆ๐ฅ
7️⃣ Rickshaw = agile, chaotic, unstoppable (like gossip at a wedding).
Motorbike = fast, unpredictable, brushes past you (like bureaucracy).
Pedestrian = multitasking, shoving, praying, eating pani puri—like survival itself. ๐๐ฅ๐จ
8️⃣ Race discussions in the West: careful phrasing, nods, microaggressions.
Race discussions in India: can you survive this intersection without screaming? ๐ฃ️๐ฅ
9️⃣ White ego + Indian traffic = a natural disaster. Like bringing a teacup to a monsoon river. ☔๐ต
๐ Indian reality teaches this: fragility is a luxury; humility is survival.
1️⃣1️⃣ Racism here is like Delhi traffic lights: largely theoretical. ๐ฆ
People brush past, shove ahead, and ignore you—not out of malice, but because life is too chaotic for ego.
1️⃣2️⃣ Moral superiority in India = hilarious. Think you’re enlightened? Try crossing a street with a goat, a motorbike, and a sari-clad grandmother all claiming the same patch of asphalt. ๐คฏ
1️⃣3️⃣ Conversation tip: want to make white people sweat?
Talk race in India. Then point at a traffic intersection and smile knowingly. ๐ซก
1️⃣4️⃣ Because in India: race, ego, morality… all tested in raw, unapologetic street-level chaos.
1️⃣5️⃣ The ultimate Indian metaphor: trying to assert your ego here is like juggling burning jalebis in a monsoon. Confusing, dangerous, and humbling. ๐ฅ๐ง️
1️⃣6️⃣ Survive Delhi traffic → ego shredded, humility gained, perspective installed. ๐
1️⃣7️⃣ Key takeaway: in India, ego does not survive; resilience does.
1️⃣8️⃣ So next time a white person brags about “enlightened race discussions,” just hand them a rickshaw horn and a cow.
“Good luck. You’ll need it.” ๐จ๐
