I have seen a big surge in the hate comments towards brown people on the social media pages of edmonton. A very specific page is Yeg wave.
I understand and have seen A LOT of brown people doing bad things which I myself do not support and get embarrassed and ashamed when I see some behaviours that end up ruining the image of the WHOLE community. Sometimes it sends me into spiralling and being scared that what if this hate comes alive in-person.
In each community there are some bad apples that do stuff that actually would make anyone feel disgusted to be associated to their own.
I wish we could all just co-exist peacefully. Sometimes people can forget that words mean something and when I see such mean things being said I always wonder what kind of person they might be in real life.
Some of my communities people need more civil sense for sure but simply hating the minute a turban is in sight or any of the very obvious features of being an indian are in sight , it takes less than 2 minutes for the comments to be filled with absolutely disgusting words about indians.
Is the hate ever gonna stop or is it gonna come alive in-person soon?

I am 2004 June baby. Im gonna be 22 soon and it seems like such a big number like holy shit I as in ME as in MYSELF will be TWENTY TWO years OLD. I feel like theres just so much I havent done and experienced yet. Like just last week I was asking my sister 10 things she would have done OR she would recommend doing before you turn 22.
I also heavily feel like I missed out big time in my 2 years of college diploma to make good friends. I was always just eager to get home as in okay classes done I don’t need to be here no more and head home. Now that its been a year since im done with my diploma I feel that I should have stayed extra and hung around with my classmates in order to still stay good friends after we were out of college.
This also leads me to another one of my concerns, in my whole life I have never had someone put in any efforts to celebrate my birthday and Im always so excited on my birthdays. Never gotten a themed cake, no one even decorated for me on my birthday meanwhile for my room mates whose birthdays are in May and June before mine so I even got them the number balloons and decorated for them but when my birthday came last year i didn’t even get a 21 number balloon. I see other people do things like decorate the back of the car to surprise their loved ones but Ive never gotten that either. I always give gifts but never get. It makes me sad that the same thing will happen this year too no one will put any effort.
Anyways long rant bye now. Happy birthday to people turning 22 this year 🥸
