South Asians, particularly in the diaspora, have an ethical and moral responsibility to speak about the genocidal situations for Hindus and other minorities in Pakistan. It’s not enough to say #SouthAsiansForBlackLives and then ignore a genocidal tragedy in your backyard.
We highly recommend that those that want to educate themselves about the brewing genocidal situation in Pakistan tune into this expert panel with renowned scholars who will dissect & discuss the injustices against Hindus and other minorities. #southasians #SouthAsianHeritageMonth 
This - not only the social structure of South Asian culture, whether India or Pakistan, but the experience of Colonialism. We understand this in implicit & explicit ways used for re-establishing positions of dominance in the U.S. as "model minority" - use that for social justice
Colonialism layered over social hierarchy in South Asian culture, not erasing social structures. In chattel slavery stolen African bodies were all the same - former king now a slave. We kept our names, not taking masters' names. We accessed education.
When we think we get places in America only through hard work that is self-serving narrative and myth. Yes, there's hard work, but hard work that gets rewarded. We also get places because we know how to "work it" - work the system like systems that worked for us in the homeland.
