Valuing half-sibblings less. Are your parents this way?

How common is this in Desi culture? What's your experience?

My parents seem to value their half-sibblings less than their full sibblings.
A full sibbling can get away with way more than a half. This shit is absolutely insane to me.

I have a uncle on my dad's side that has done so much shit that I am sure that if he was a half-sibbling then he would have been cut off totally.

I have a half-uncle who did something my dad didn't approve off and they had a shitty relation for years.

I'm not in your situation but different. My father favored me because he was a narcissist and saw traits in me that reminded him of himself. I got his outgoing and athletic/jock traits from him. He bullied my younger sister simply because she was different. My parents marriage was awful. Now my mother sometimes resents and wants to change me because I'm outgoing, party girl personality and she's the complete opposite. My dad had those traits.

My desi parents lack the maturity. You cannot project your hang ups on kids.

Favoring biological vs half kids is just wrong. It shows narrowmindednes..

I'm in my 40s single parent of mixed kids. My kids are half white cuz I was married to a white man. I cannot marry someone who cannot accept my kids. Or their families. This is why I'm afraid to remarry indian guys. Honestly old don't marry single parents or get into a relationship with a single parent if you do not see yourself as a stepparent.

Children are children whether biological, stepchildren or adopted.

Can't answer questions but curious to know what others have to say

Or another father.
