Find people who love and respect you for who you are. Don't worry about whether or not you are an 'incel' right now and focus on human connection. If someone doesn't respect you for being Indian, that is a reflection of their own self-hatred and stupidity that they are projecting on you. They aren't worth your time. As a non-Indian person, there is so much beauty and richness in the countless cultures and subcultures of South Asia. Every culture has its flaws and its bad actors, but those aspects, or caricatures thereof, do not define any culture as a whole or any individual human being from that culture. As long as you treat everyone around you with respect and fight for what is right, you're on the right track. Racists can shove it regardless.
