The question may sound stupid, but not if ur biracial & was raised primarily in a multiracial neighborhood. My dad's Chinese mom's Indian, but it seems as though he's really keen for us to speak & fully utilize Chinese & Chiense customs, which can be very stressful. It seems like he's forgetting his wife is Indian. I know he means well, but how do I gently remind him that 'dad, I'm also half Indian, u know!' He sometimes can boast about how great & marvellous the Chinese is which really upsets me. He loves & accepts Indian culture (esp. his favorite Indian cuisine) but he wants us to be a 'well-rounded' Chiense first.
I think its stupid. I know he means well but i'm just so sick of him thinking about himself, his race, his culture & all that. Thank God he's not a Buddhist (Christian, like my mom), or my life will be like hell. How do i say, "dad, i really wanna learn more about India & Indian culture"? My mom doesnt seem to be bothered a bit
