ardentblue asks:
Is desi an in-group word or is it okay for white people to use?
please don’t use Desi if you’re not South Asian. in addition to being our word for ourselves it literally translates to ‘my countrymen’ so unless you’re South Asian that doesn’t make any sense. - Nadya
thank you for the heads up because I definitely started using it without knowing, thinking i was correctly naming an ethnicity.
