I will say, when it comes to black stuff like afro hair products, it makes no sense for south asian people to have the monopoly on that market like they do. I'd rather buy afro combs and such from the carribean woman on my street who actually has afro hair and therefore is selling something that is a part of their culture and not simply profiting from it like people who don't have that hair texture.

saying South Asian people “shouldn’t” dominate the Afro-hair market overlooks how business works. Many of those shop owners entered the market when few others were willing to invest in those products. They built supply chains, imported goods, and served communities that often had limited access to Afro-haircare items.
In a free market, anyone can sell any legal product and competition should ideally lead to better prices and variety for consumers, regardless of who owns the business.

and my argument is in a free market you can simply decide to place that money elsewhere. As a somali i'd only buy somali products from somalis, and I personally buy products for "black people" from other black people. If other black people feel the same then fair enough.

My issue is people acting as if south asians didn't face systemic racism in this country, or trying to boycott them all together, that's nonesense

Understand.

I’ve noticed that some minorities whether Black, Asian, or Eastern European sometimes undermine each other’s communities just to gain approval from the native majority. That kind of behavior makes me less interested in getting involved in their causes. I’d rather just stay focused on my own path and not get caught up in that cycle.
