Forbes Is Talking About These South Asian Podcasters Whipping Stereotypical A$$es

You know you have made it when Forbes starts noticing you. And these South Asian podcasters are right there butting heads with every stereotype they face and proving that they do not need to conform to the model minority tag.

All that glitters is not gold. South Asian Americans might be perceived as overly privileged by people back home but the reality is quite different. They combat stigmas and stereotypes daily in the form of docility, diligence, dual identity crisis, and first-generation complexities. While most people are likely to fall into an inferiority complex and feel belittled under white supremacy, some of them get back stronger than before.
