I've run into more discrimination as a woman than as an Indian.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think that there's so many levels of what is appropriate for an Indian woman to do.
I am an Indian to the core.
I have certainly met much more discrimination in terms of being a woman than being black, in the field of politics.
The one thing I've always maintained is that I'm an American Indian. I'm not politically correct.
What white woman, however lonely, was ever captive or insulted by me? Yet they say I am a bad Indian.
I'm very attracted to Indians.
I never thought that I would have to play an Indian, well half French, but an Indian woman in my life.
I don't feel that I've faced discrimination. I've had every chance to succeed and more, and I think that's what all women should have.
The grass is always greener on the other side. We are busy applying fairness creams while people in the West go bare-bodied on the beach to get a tan. Indian girls have ruled the roost when it comes to beauty pageants. I flaunt my complexion, and I am proud to be noticed as an Indian wherever I go.
Women are outperforming men in almost every sphere of life in our society and the women of East Indian ancestry are no exception to this rule. They have broken the cultural mould.
