    I really wish to know the podcast that you mentioned in this podcast about the Indian woman it’s interesting to watch even so surprised to me as well cause Indian American woman practice (tough love) kinda mindset which is so toxic tbh in south Asian community Every south Asian have this traits apply to man as well with his children
    FYI my dad never say I love you to me so go figure

    12:40 he’s not on "other" you probably didn’t know in America they lump in south Asian and East Asian in 1 box so the 8% Asian they’re not necessarily means East Asian lol and also in Texas they’re more south asian fyi more then East asian so the 8% of number mostly are south asian and only few East asian, I’m surprised alok didn’t correct him about that lol
    People need to stop forgetting south Asian as asian smh

    Isn’t this the person who said young girls can be kinky… oh yeah it is

  • @antibus1545

    This person Alok literally said "There are no princesses, little girls are also kinky" when talking about the potential of people using the guise of being trans to enter women's spaces and abuse women/girls. STOP GIVING THIS PREDATOR A PLATFORM! You can literally Google this and find the full quote. Appalling. Alok basically said kids are not innocent and may be "into" any potential abuse. I will post this on every video I see with them in it untill people see them for what they are.
