"R-E-S-P-E-C-T"

The problem with being ethnically stereotyped (as a Malayalee) is:
I don't speak your language,
I don't follow your customs,
I don't believe in your cultural norms, nor do I practice them...
I'm not a Malayalee;
I am an American,
who just happens to have parents who are Malayalee.

And last I checked, I didn't join your "fraternity" or "sorority,"
so please don't think I'm one of you, just because of my exterior!

-- 

It's official - I not only loathe living in this house, due to my parents' cultural elements and beliefs, but also because of my surrounding Malayalee neighbors...
