oh this essay is so good!! Ashish has done excellent work, trying to finesse out the nuances in the way cultures work in America. As an Indian American immigrant, I have had well-meaning, loving Christians say the exact same thing to me, "you are like one of us, not the other immigrants" I have never quite known what to say with that comment!! Drives me insane, makes me furious but I sit silently with a blank smile!
