[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. Where were your born? 
2. Do you wear a head scarf?
3. What do you wish ignorant white Americans knew about you and/or your religion? 
4. Do you eat pork?[/quote]

OP here. I'm 99.999% sure you're a troll, but on the off-chance that you're not...

1. In the U.S
2. Hindu women don't wear headscarves; they don't even cover their heads in temples with the pallu (draped portion) of their saris
3. I don't think think of white people as "ignorant" in general, first of all. Second, my chief frustration might be the fact that a lot of Hindu spirituality is appropriated by mainstream American culture without credit being given to the source (dharmic religious practices such as yoga, meditation, the importance of breathing, virtues of a vegetarian diet, etc), while a lot of institutional problems with Hindu's orthodoxy and political groups (corruption, misogyny, etc) are heavily focused on and branded as defining attributes of the religion.
4. Yes. Beef is the meat that I don't eat.[/quote]

I'm not a troll; I'm just completely ignorant about your people. It's entirely possible I think Hindu and Muslim are the same and don't really know the difference (or if there IS a difference). I wish you could dumb down your answer to #3. I meant more like do we say things that offend you or what basic things should we know. [/quote]
