I just don't think it's fair to address the racism within the South Asian community by subjecting the Black woman in your story to so much trauma.

Anti-Blackness in the South Asian community needs to be called out, but not at the expense of the Black characters in your story and not by treating Yasmina and her family as a plot device for Nur's journey of "self-actualization".
