Im asian and aint religous

Ok im a bengali and most of us r muslim. My mum reminds me 5 times a day that i will burn in hell. I cant really say my thoughts out loud. Lowkey wanna dress lile a slut (show off my ankles duhh). But srsly i dont know if i believe in anything- lets just say i dont think of it often and i dont want to. Honestly im surrounded by religous ppl everywhere (east london). I wish i was a basic white girl. Just accept how i am pls

Go do it then, go get drunk and get STD's destroy your health, with your new found "freedom"

Having strict parents who are being strict for your benefit isn't necessarily a bad thing. And its certainly better than not having parents who care.
Harsh truth is sometimes young people don't know whats best for them.

When you have your own money, and live without them then you can do what you want.
Till then either try to appreciate them, and if they are really so bad, then get a job and move out.

Day of Judgment is nearing 🤦*♂️

I wish i could sugarcoat it for you but honestly us asian females do have it hard, a lot of us aren't allowed to speak our minds or do whatever we want. it's the harsh reality of life and I'm sorry it sucks for you rn. I'm gonna guess you're in your teens so maybe you could think of moving out for uni (if you decide to go) if you really wanna get out of all the rules and restrictions? apart from that I don't know how to advise you in terms of privileges and freedom. I know it's basically impossible to change an asian parent's mindset and, if you try, it usually comes with a lot of arguments and conflict. if you're prepared to go through that then by all means go ahead but I personally don't think it's worth it if you're gonna move out soon.

you should be allowed to at least wear skinny jeans and ankle length skirts, you're right. if your parents aren't letting you wear that sort of stuff maybe you could try explain how a lot of girls wear this sort of stuff around here and you don't wanna feel left out? I think that's at least worth a shot and it shouldn't spark a massive argument if you talk about it respectfully. it's not like you wanna wear booty shorts and a crop top right? (not that that's a bad thing)

also asian parents love respect, I'm sure you know, so I guess as long as you kinda 'kiss up' to them and respect them while you try and talk to them about this then they shouldn't get too angry. hope this helped xx

Just go out and do those things then, I don't think 'dressing like a slut' will empower you at all.

Asian male here and am not religious but hardly headline worthy..

Blatant racist “white” troll

I wish I could sugarcoat it for you but Asian females do not have it hard. A lot of you come from stable and supportive families, with good homecooked food and are actively encouraged with education and are made aware of good career options and choices. Just look at the success of Asian females within the healthcare sector for example, how many doctors, opticians etc.

White working class females (and males) have it hard as they significantly underachieve in education and have worse career prospects, and are more likely to be directionless in life etc.
And guess what this is because they have more "freedom" to wear what they want, smoke drink, have sex etc.


And yet with all these advantages you think you "have it hard" because you can't "speak your mind or do whatever you want"



For all the benefits you get to think you have it hard because you "don't get to wear skinny jeans" is ridiculous.

The educational and career aspirations given by strict Asian parents can benefit you over a life time. the "freedom" you miss out on pales in comparison to this.
Once you move out, you have the rest of your life to do what you want anyway
so its only a temporary thing you miss out on.

whereas for white people whose parents haven't guided them well, the detrimental impact of the "freedom" and lack of aspiration for education and solid career choices greatly reduces their long term prospects.


So if you think you have it hard because you "can't wear skinny jeans" think again.


for now, stop taking for granted the benefits of having strict parents, which give you a LOT of advantages which a lot white young people don't get and would do better if they had them.
