One user wrote, "Always the green card comment for me," highlighting how common that stereotype is. Another said, "Omg. Yes. Relatable. The comments are so crazy sometimes," expressing frustration over the relentless nature of such remarks.
Another added, "Add in, 'oh look how light the kids are!' and 'omg, you're still here?'' reflecting on how people tend to obsess over skin tone and assumptions about foreigners staying in India. Someone commented, "POV: convert your challenges to opportunities."
Others pointed out the wider global context. "It's not only India. Mexico, Africa, Asia – most of the non-White, non-Western world get the same treatment. Very sad this is still happening in 2025," one person wrote. Another said, "So sad that people have such terrible things to say to people just living their life."

Did Michelle Yeoh just confirm BLACKPINK's Lisa and Frédéric Arnault are dating? Crazy Rich Asians star drops MAJOR hint
Rumors about BLACKPINK's Lisa and Frédéric Arnault 's dating life have been rampant for a couple of years now. The two were first spotted hanging out when the LVMH heir snapped a photo backstage at the girl group's concert after attending the BORN PINK World Tour back in 2022. Since then, they have been hanging out together, going to parties and events with each other, and meeting their families, but have not confirmed the relationship rumors officially. However, the wait seems to be over as actress Michelle Yeoh has not just slightly hinted at, but dropped a major nod at the couple's dating status. Lisa finds a way into Frédéric Arnault's life even when she's not physically present In an update shared on her Instagram recently, Michelle Yeoh has recounted her time while in Paris recently, meeting Diego Della Valle, who was awarded a French cultural distinction, being named Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. One of the photos in the carousel included a picture taken with Frédéric Arnault. Smiling at the camera happily, the two seemed to have had a deep conversation at the event, which was made evident with her caption. It congratulated her 'friend' for the achievement, and then came the eyebrow-raising nod to BLACKPINK 's Lisa, who is known to have not been at the event. The Everything Everywhere All at Once actor said, 'hope to meet u soon Lisa', hinting at their possible talks about the Thai rapper from the K-pop girl group. Frédéric Arnault, mentioning the singer even during her absence from the event, indeed hints at their constant presence around each other. It can also be assumed that the Tag Heur CEO sang praises of his rumored lady love. And while the two have never officially admitted to each other as girlfriend and boyfriend publicly, the signs are definitely there.

Sophie Cunningham steals spotlight with ‘Hot Girls Eat Arby's' shirt before Fever-Sky game
Sophie Cunningham did not need a buzzer-beater to make noise this weekend. She let her shirt do the talking. According to Athlonsports, the Indiana Fever guard showed up to Sunday's game against the Chicago Sky in a red-and-white T-shirt that read 'HOT GIRLS EAT ARBY'S.' No fancy fit. No team-issued warm-up. Just that. And people noticed. Camera crews caught her walking into the arena, and it blew up online almost instantly. Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham took to Instagram later has teamed up with fast-food chain Arby's in a lighthearted and timely collaboration. On social media, Cunningham sported a bold 'HOT GIRLS EAT ARBY'S' T‑shirt before a game, and followed up with an Instagram post reading, 'look who has the meats now.' Cunningham made the move to Indiana this season after spending six years with the Phoenix Mercury. It was not a headline-grabbing trade, but it's proving to be one of those sneaky-smart pickups. As per Athlon Sports, she is not putting up crazy numbers-around 7.7 points, 4 rebounds, and a steal per game-but she is solid. The kind of player every team needs when stuff gets messy. And with Caitlin Clark missing big stretches this season, Sophie's presence has mattered. She does not need to be the star. She just keeps the wheels turning. Gets physical. Dives for loose balls. Hits a couple of shots. Fires up the bench. Off the court, Sophie's turning into a full-on personality. Her TikTok is part workout clips, part chaos. She jokes. She dances. She claps back. And fans eat it up. This is also the same player who got tossed earlier this season for standing up for Caitlin Clark during a scuffle. She's got that 'ride or die' energy. She appears to be single as of now, with no confirmed public relationship. Yes, she briefly played as a kicker on her high school football team. Her GPA has not been publicly disclosed. There is no public information available about her religious beliefs.
