I never noticed this until recently: I am a woman of colour and I seriously have no female friends.

I am an Indian woman, I have 0 Indian girl friends. 0! I have no friends of colour. Every female friend I have is white. I just find it so strange. When I think about my life and my friend circle, I am the only woman of colour. I’m not bragging, this isn’t about me being good with white girls. This is actually something I’ve always been quite self conscious about. It’s always made me feel like I am part of a selected chosen few. <br><br>I’ve also never been to India, never once. Even my parents haven’t been back home since they were kids. Same with my husband. I have two siblings and none of us have ever met our extended family. I’ve never tried Indian food at home until I turned 18. All my life my family have been going on holiday to European countries. <br><br>In other words, I have no Indian friends AND no connection to my own culture but somehow I still have curly brown hair and brown skin. I’m just so confused.
