[@n2essence]

I was so worried that people were gonna treat him and his family badly when I heard 2001 (because of how others were labelling west and south asian people as terrorists) and I was so thankfully mistaken!!! I can't imagine what Halloween must be like for someone who doesn't know of it haha

[@ZippyandOllie]

My Indian coworker arrived to the US the day before Halloween and he thought the devil was outside his house at 5AM when he saw a lady dressed up in a costume before heading to work. He called his mom back in India saying it was scary AF and that there were evil spirits everywhere🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@rohittota]

Dude this is incredible!! You killed this set!

[@AlyssaLuisa]
