Hello Hasan,

I was wondering how you reconcile (to both others and yourself) being a part of the most financially successful immigrant group in the US with the stigma and racism you face as a brown man. I'm asking because I find myself in this situation frequently. My parents are immigrants from India, but I was born here. I make good money now and have a comfortable life, but people seem to think that just because I'm not financially struggling, I have no reason to speak out about institutionalized racism that I and other POC face. Now, it's even got me second guessing myself. How do you address these thoughts, if you have them at all?

Also, I'm a huge fan and love all your work! I can't wait to eagerly watch every new project you take on!
