It's like the writers of #Grownish didn't even talk to a Desi to write this scene where Vivek reveals to his Indian parents that he's a drug dealer and expelled. There is NOT enough hysterics and yelling here. The mother HUGGED him? Thapur, sandal to the head. Come on! Not one South Asian name on the IMDB for this episode too. SMH

Now, how to write this AirBnB review about how the White Sheriff came to confirm that you as a Brown Muslim were actually not breaking in because the owner forgot to turn the alarm off is NOT an ideal stay.

Is there a BIPOC AirBnB yet? I wrote, "if you are not a BIPOC ACAB maybe you will enjoy it here more than us."

My dad's friend died of COVID-19 today in So Cal - the Muslim graveyards are so backed up, there is a two week wait. They can only bury 4 graves a day. Muslim burials are supposed to be asap, 48 hours usually. There is not enough room & time for the burials of all the dead. Muslims are also supposed to partake in a last wash - ghusl - before you are buried. You are being washed/blessed for the afterlife. People that dying from COVID-19 are not getting ghusl. Ten people max at burials. All the end of life prayers and rituals are truncated.
