People always think I am indian but i am not? any advice?
Im full Egyptian and people always think im indian automatically. I dont dislike indians as i have a couple indian friends it is just annoying because not only do people just ask me but they all automatically assume. Like some people will be like what do you have for lunch, curry? Or when i said i was gonna go watch a sport with my brother (basketball) they automatically assumed cricket. Alot of them even speak to me in their language assuming i will understand when i speak arabic. It is frustrating because i dont mind being asked but i hate being automatically assumed to be indian it pisses me off. Also i feel like im struggling with more racial profiling as im Arab but people also use stereotypes of indians against me such as them smelling. When i havent even ever tried indian food. I can't take it anymore and my whole family makes fun of me for looking indian by imitating the accent, and saying i smell, and one of my cousins attempted to put a red sticker on my forehead. It really makes me upset because my own family is making me seem like im not egyptian.
