“You don’t look like you are from the Northeast!” Mishra has heard this often. In a 3-minute comedy clip, he released last year, Mishra had, in fact, said how his girlfriend refused to believe he was from NE because he wasn’t “slit-eyed”.
Mishra has now come out with another satirical video on Northeast.
So, if you are in denial of the fact that you too may have intentionally or unintentionally become a part of racism against people from Northeast, let’s hear it from Mishra, who is from Northeast despite “no Northeastern features”.
