Race can be difficult to identify using language. In Britain its not unusual to say somebody is Oriental, while US readers will say a person is Asian. Similarly Indian to UK could mean near East, while to US an Indian Native to the States.

If you would just communicate with me, we could establish some sort of rapport, and come to some kind of resolution of the present situation, which would be mutually agreeable to both of us, and aren't I good, tossing words out there making a word salad just like everyone else does?

p since you give your full name here, I looked it up and you've done some beautiful artwork. I could only hope that you would paint my portrait
and then send it to me and I would pay you what I thought it was worth because doing it the other way, like me sending you money ahead of time then you might never sent a Portrait or like if you send a Portrait, and then I send you money but that doesn't sound too fair because I'm kind of at the advantage here because if I want to be the rotten guy that everybody thinks I am I would just cheat you out of the portrait so gosh it looks like maybe the real solution to it is is to just not send a portrait. and it makes you wonder how humans ever get anything done because it's just easier not to unless it means their lives like probably people want to go out and be farmers and raise crops which is probably more industrious than social media.
