Desi Dad’s Daughter's definitions

Desi Dad Syndrome

- Firmly believing that their own nationality is superior to others, often expressing this conviction in various aspects of life by negatively stereotyping an out-group nationality.
- Perceiving their nationality as more respected and liked compared to other nationalities, forming a biased view of how their group is perceived.
- Assuming that people from out-group nationality desire them, supporting this belief by selectively choosing positive opinions from certain individuals in the out-group.
- Feeling a sense of desirability and assuming that people from other nationalities want to associate with them.
- Denying the possibility that their own nationality is perceived poorly, using statements like "We don't do that," "We are cleaner,", or "We are not terrorists" to distance themselves from out-group associations.
- Experiencing discomfort when associated with people from out-group nationality and attempting to disassociate by expressing disgust, often as a way to compensate for perceived inferiority.
- Engaging in denial when faced with uncomfortable situations, using phrases like "That's not true," or "I have never met/heard," to reject the idea that their own nationality not superior.
- Exhibiting an inferiority complex by subconsciously respecting and positively perceiving a specific group of people (usually white), leading to a desire to be associated with or perceived as equal to them, even if it involves cherry-picking examples to support this perception.
