Think about every detail that describes your identity: nationality, ethnicity, heritage, values, skin color, language. Now, try placing yourself in one category. Can you? Not impossible, but difficult. Quite often, the Carolina Desis find themselves erroneously placed in one category or on one side of the spectrum. "ABCD", "FOB", Too Assimilated, Not Assimilated Enough… what does it all mean? Tune in to this week's episode to learn about an intra-cultural divide within the Desi diaspora, and the effects of the associated stigma.
