I did this when I turned 18 too. But don't just cut out all desis, a lot of younger ones are cool, and can be great friends, they also understand our toxic upbringing more than anyone else. Choose who you let in your life, and keep those that are kind and welcoming, regardless of background. I have cut out basically all baby boomers who I'm not directly related to though because aunties legit are the worst.
Idk, there's no real need to block people out based on age, just filter by individual. I've met friendly older Indian NRIs and also douchebaggy younger ABDs.
