apology for those i hurt

hey.

i’ve been sitting with this for a while and i need to say it straight up bc the guilt is killing me
the things i said about indians and about india were racist. not "jokes" not me being edgy  just racist. and that’s on me.

i disrespected some1 culture and their identity, and i hurt them there’s no excuse for that. i don’t get to explain it away or minimize it. i said what i said, and it caused real harm.

i’m honestly embarrassed and ashamed that i let myself think and talk like that. intent doesn’t matter here  impact does  and the impact was me hurting someone i care about. i hate that i did that.

i’m taking this seriously and actually checking myself, learning, and unlearning the bullshit that led me to say those things in the first place. not just saying sorry and moving on, but changing how i think and act.

i know an apology doesn’t erase anything, and i’m not expecting forgiveness or comfort. i just needed to own what i did and say it clearly: i’m sorry for being racist, and i’m sorry for hurting you.

i just wanted to be honest and accountable.
