L. This comes across as tryhard and living in her head rent-free.
She could’ve said “I’m not really into white guys” and moved on. By fixating on them, it shows whites still have emotional impact on her.
Any cultural change requires good examples. If u want TFR to increase and ppl to be trad Hindus, be a very successful one yourself with 3+ kids. It will be hard and youll have to sacrifice a lot of comfort.
if India expects its educated class to have more kids, then following should be the norm:
- Large families are seen as high status, not a sacrifice.
- Women find identity and meaning in motherhood specifically.
- Extended family networks distribute the childcare load (the old joint family model)
- Economic models support single-income households adequately.
None of the 4 are close to reality now.
There is nothing to stop Indian-Americans from having 3+ kids. You literally have free education and tons of open space in the suburbs with fresh air.
No cure for the cultural conditioning and materialism tho.
