Assalaam walaikum,
Now not only am I southern American but a southern Asian. It is time to do something productive before I have an identity crisis.
So my sons are: Indian/Pakistani, not Pacific Islanders nor Asian, Southern Asian Native American Africian Americans. I think I just found a way to pay for their college. There is a minority in there somewhere.

desi is someone born in the indian subcontinent, living in the US/canada.
their children born in the US/canda have a tough time reconciling the two lifestyles. These kids often grow up confused. Hence the term, American Born Confused Desi (ABCD). Then you have people from the subcontinent living in the subcontinent but with an american lifestyle. Such are called Confused Americanized Desi (CAD) (or burgers in pakistan).

Desi Ghee. <-basically ghee extracted from Milk rather than from vegetable Oil.
Desi Daaru <-- Indian made cheap alcohol
However, in the West, 'Desi' means someone from India/Pak/Bangla-Desh

well desi is a term like you call mexican, ppl from spain etc, , you call them hispanic
since its hard to differentiate between pakistani/indian/bangladesi many times we just call each other desi
and also usually we all speak the same language

desi is not a racist term , neither is paki (for me anyway). anything can be racist depending upon the person saying it.
obama is blackish. well he is fairly black but im not racist.
anyway basically
desi = local, originating from within the land/country
pardesi = foreign, originating from outside the land
so infact desis in the US/Canada are actually pardesi!!! I suppose they wanna identify themselves as desis to give themselves a sense of belonging.
desi ghee = pure ghee (white in color) that comes from milk not from grocery store or a processing plant. Food cooked in desi ghee is very tasty but without proper exercise desi ghee can be detrimental to health. I wanna visit lahore.

...Brownish you mean...because there's NO One that's the color BlAck!..
LOL-just kiddin' akhi arzafar...My classmates have jst been gettin' on my nerves lately, 'cause we had aplications to fill out if anyone wanted summer jobs, and the aplication asks for 'Race', some of the kids are Somali, and they fall under the 'Black' category....anyways, they keep crossing the Black out and put down Brown!, 'cause as they said There is No one tht's the color 'Black'..It's funny but annoys me at the same time
Sister Aapa...for what it matters, I didn't know what Desi meant either
