Coming to the UK in the 50s with a wife and kids implies anon is 90 years old and posting on 4chan.
Unlikely.

I think it's a white guy larping an old guy to complain about his peers.

I think if his wife is indian then there is only scenario where a grand kid would be 25% indian and that is if his child (full indian) partnered with someone who is half indian resulting in grandkids that are 25% indian

Sorry you are indeed correct, another reason why the post is also clearly a troll.

I think we all fight our own battles, and it is not a contest for who had more hardship.
My dad may have been beat up for being brown when he came to America. I grew up getting bullied and being called racist names post 9/11 - but never beat up. I go on dating apps, and I recognize that I have a harder statistical time on the dating apps. If I ever have a kid, I hope the only hardship he/she faces is a slight racial disadvantage. Then, my kid's kid may only have to face the standard mating competition based on merit.
If the parent is genuine, he/she wants for their child to have a easier time. It is toxic to fetishize suffering. I'd be thankful that my hard work and suffering gave way to a easier battle for my kin - even if they feel like the new "hardship" is the hardest thing ever.
Sometimes, it is the old ones who hold progress back. Maybe, it is racism enablism. Why not keep fighting for better and better conditions? Why just call it a day? May we keep pushing the Overton Window to better and better conditions until a eventual utopia is created.

Maybe it's kind of like well I went throguh it so you should go through it too, but that's not right.
And, especially back then, for all the successful shop owners that worked hard, there were others that didn't make it, or were abused and racially abused and suffer mental issues or had to go back to india or fall back on family. Why go through such a system in the first place though?

Yeah, the system of suffering creates a lot of invisible victims. My father "survived", but he had a major alcohol addiction. There is a real survivorship bias in place as you say. You don't see all those that didn't make it.

Man if anything we Desis don’t share our stories of racism enough. We should encourage this.
If you talk about the racism you’ve faced especially as a Desi man, other Desis will be the first to tell you to stfu and that you’re complaining too much. I told this to my uncle the other day and he agreed with me.
Learn how to tell your victim story in a way that makes you look good and come out on top and where all your problems were pretty much out of your reach and not your fault at all. People have this tendency to make it seem like we have it easy or that whole “model minority myth” where people believe that we barely go through problems just because we don’t outwardly cry victim about it like how latinos and black people do.

The maths doesn't even work. Unless thatha married a 0% Indian and his kid married a 0% Indian

Impossible for granddaughter to be 25% Indian in this scenario.

I cant deny this is actually so accurate. South Asians don't understand how much harder the previous generations had it.

Nope just cause the older generations had it way worse doesn’t invalidate the stuff that happens now.
If you said this same sentence to a black person you’d be cancelled. Are you gonna tell a black person that they don’t understand how much harder the previous black generations had it?

That's the sad state of kids these days from 1st gen migrants

Too much time "working to put food on the table" and not enough time seeing what was actually going on.

If she’s only 25% Indian, she probably looks fully white. And white women love being victims, so nothing new here.
lmao even 50% Indians/Pakis/Bengalis can look 100% white. Go search up Jassu Ahluwalia or Robert Ashby(actor) and many other examples.
Don't misunderstand me lol it's just because South Asians are predominantly Caucasoid.
They like being saviors more
Not for us. Maybe for blacks and east Asians.
Only for blacks.
Nah. Stop Asian Hate was a thing.
Shiettt so do we
: Someone reported this comment that it's promoting hate based on identity.
Sorry.
Nah don’t be, whoever reported is either a lurking white or a white women simp
