• hindi is a language
• hinduism is a religion
• hindu is someone who follows it
• not all indians are hindu
• not all indians speak hindi
• the ‘d’ in hindu and hindi is pronounced like the ‘th’ in ‘though’
• desi, pronounced “they see” and not daisy or dessi, means south asian
• south asia = pakistan, india, bangladesh, sri lanka, nepal, etc. for those of you who have never looked at world map
• desis are asians and have every right to call themselves that. shocking, I know. take your time to digest that.
• I can’t believe I have to make this post
• it’s 2014 and people still don’t know how to google this shit
• but freak the fuck out when you say Britain when you meant, god forbid, England
