Being an Indian Fijian..

To all Indian- Fijian parents,

FYI: my family is wayyy more modern than yours, meaning I'm the typical Canadian, white washed, independent student, like most females living in Vancouver. so no, my parents AND myself are not down with you wanting to set me up with some Fijian boy so we can eventually get married. your random phone call making small talk, then suddenly asking about me (and I'm sure you don't really know me either) is awkward. I'm 20 years old, have no intention of getting married at this point, and especially with some guy I don't know at all, and probably won't want to get to know. I'm a picky LG, who couldn't care less about boys right now, and am the type who will probably crush their little egos if they did get to know me. I'm not wife material (well the type of wife you're probably hoping for), since I won't cook for you, clean for you, or do what you want me to do. I'm probably far too independent for your liking. sorry, but offer of marriage DECLINED. shut down SON.

Cheers,

Whitney



(fo serious, I'm not sure whyyyy this arranged marriage thing still exists. and what's sad is that soooo many young people from my dad's side still do this. it's just weird. my mum needs to stop telling people I'm 20..I wanna still be considered that anti social, social reject, 15 year old looking chick, who hates going to really Indian events, mainly to avoid the topic of hooking me up with some random boy who wants to get married and have a gazillion babies. barf.)
