He and i were in a restaurant, and his hand accidentally struck some chick's purse which was on the next table. it fell to the ground. She called him an FOB, laughing with her friends as though he wouldn't understand her oh-so-American way of talking.
There are always exceptionally bitchy people out there.😆 Those judgmental pricks are probably second generation desi kids with unexplained insecurities cuz their own parents were fresh off the boat once upon a time. Self-hatred is pretty high among that group. There are also plenty of successful international students here who assimilate really nicely, were raised really well and establish themselves pretty well professionally too.
