Document Summary
A father named jay grew up with ocala, some sort of partner. They had to leave uganda, from pressure to ocala. Indians arrived with british colonialism and had a privileged position, helped them thrive economically. Dictatorship of idiamen, punishment for those who oppose him. Jay did open interview on cbc saying idiamean is crazy. Mother was more traditional, wanted to mena to be with patel (the most eligible indian bachelor) She danced with demetrious at the hip-hop club and left patel, the indian guy mena"s parents approved of. But she is also fine with cleaning at the hotel. Met mena at the club, he tried to make his ex-girlfriend jealous. Then demetrious built a connection with mena. Maybe demetrious was a way for mena to create a new identity. She created her own unconventional identity by crossing racial borders. Did not object, only didn"t think it was good for demetrious when other ethnicities starting rejecting demetrious.
