So, it's been a while since I posted anything last. A lot has happened. For starters, I started college... not much going on there... kind of freaking out about finals-- BUT that's not what this post is about.
Anyways, I was checking out Aziz Ansari's new series on Netflix called Master of None, where Aziz plays an immature character named Dev, who is an aspiring actor. (FUN FACT: my parent's actually knew Aziz's parents... that actually sounds kind of lame now that I'm writing it. Carry on.) Being a conservative, I found some of the episodes to be seemingly scripted from Lena Dunham's and @Deray('s) Twitter feed. However, one episode in particular really struck home and actually made me cry a little (I almost never cry). It was the second episode called "Parents", it basically was about how us first generation, American, millennials really don't know or even appreciate the struggles our parents went through before and after they came to America, and how much of a dick we can be to them. My dad is from India, and like Dev and Brian's dads, he really doesn't talk that much about his life in India. There are the few basic things just about every immigrant parent says, however. Like: "It was hard." and "You have it so much easier!" So I can really relate to Dev in this regard. Out of the entire series, the second episode is really worth the 30min, especially if you have a immigrant parent(s). You'll come out a better person after watching.
