For context, my parents immigrated from India and have no clue what LGBT is. Our neighbors are very conservative and are homophobic. All my parents know about LGBT is that they are “bad” people, because that’s all they were told. I am an asexual girl and I’ve successfully come out to my friends, but I have no idea how to come out to my parents. I wouldn’t say that they are homophobic because they don’t really understand much about this and are just going off of what our neighbors told them. What should I do, and should I even come out to them?

Just find a girl/anyone other then a guy, to be your partner for a thing then introduce them to your parents IN A PUBLIC PLACE so they don't like murder you or something lmao. But hey at least you weren't outed in 7th grade 🥲
I don’t think being in a public place will stop them from yelling at me, but I’ll certainly try
There are three things you need to know
1. Would they accept you
2. Would you be safe?
3. If something goes wrong do you have a safe place to stay at?
If you say no to one of these, it's best to stay where you are at least until you can get your own place. Society puts a lot of emphasis on coming out but sometimes that can be a bad thing in some families putting children in danger. However, if you think you got all of these down, go for it!!! Just ask for a private convo and ask them to be open-minded i suppose. Hope it goes well for you!
This is spot on, if I had one thing to add, also know that you are not an Oracle, you don't know how people will react sometimes
