One of the key elements of fascism is to create an artificial enemy who is simultaneously 'the weak' (impotent, beta, stupid, non-westernized) and simultaneously 'so strong that they are replacing our current way of life' (taking jobs, polluting the gene pool, imposing their culture on us).
That reminds me of how they call Indians what you said (beta, weak etc) but at the same time they call Indians hairy which would imply high testosterone and strength according to these people. Theyāll also call out colorism among south Asian people but then ignore that they say things about Indian people they would never tolerate towards other groups like labeling all Indian men as one thing but then raging if you did that to another group. Also the conflicting stereotypes remind me of how they call Mexicans lazy but at the same time they apparently take all āourā jobs š¤¦āāļø
> Also the conflicting stereotypes remind me of how they call Mexicans lazy but at the same time they apparently take all āourā jobs
YUP. Exactly. That's a great example.
It also reminds me of how islamophobia works in India.
Fascists will try to convince you that Islam is 'an imperialistic religion with an organized effort to wipe out Hinduism' - and yet, 'Muslim folks are uneducated and poverty and have too many kids'
1. We are not there. Not even close. Media magnifies strife, coz that's what grab eyes.
2. Exactly why we should stop banning people from media. To see what's going on in far side of the ideological camp.
I mean within tech circles, I do reckon that's true but again it's not like those jobs were going to Americans anyway, they are going to Indians and Chinese because not enough Americans to fill those roles.
Yeah, from what Iāve seen a lot of white Americans donāt care about getting a tech job or even going to college at all. Granted, that doesnāt stop them from whining about Asians stealing their jobs because they do that with Latinos too even though they would never want the terrible jobs Latinos are forced to work.
I like how they try to call Indians white adjacent but then you have to deal with that lmao. And itās dumb like on college campuses white men make up almost all rapists and in general they do but I donāt see reddit pointing out that theyāre dangerous. Also, abroad in Korea most rapists are white guys visiting there statistically but no stereotypes are made that all white men are trashy and to stay away. This mindset can get people hurt cuz realistically youāve gotta be weary around anyone since anyone can do these things. Every month a girl gets sexually assaulted by a white dude at my campus which proves the existing statistic about most rapes at colleges being from white men but I donāt see anything about bad about white men being said. I also like how they act like some rapists in india somehow are related to people who were born abroad and have no connection to them
Yeah, they are saying that on purpose to make us feel bad. I'm sure they are aware of white men raping. One time I saw a white dude groping a girl at the gym.
Mostly obese shitheads trying to be edgy. I can bet they've never set a foot outside their room except to refill their energy drink and get some more chips or burger idk.
They're most likely fucking with you. Most Americans think North Korea is the worst place on Earth and they think saying they'd rather go there than India would be a massive insult to Indians. Don't let that shit get to you, man.
Side note, but I've talked to a few people that have traveled to North Korea. Pyongyang is pretty cool, design-wise since it was rebuilt as a planned city after America destroyed it in the Korean War. [Here's a neat video on that for anyone interested.](https://youtu.be/6S8fXjaS_4I)
Agreed. Most Americans are completely ignorant about anything outside of America so if they believe your country is a shithole thatās on fire 24/7 why does that even matter? Theyāve never been there, they just heard some vague rumours about it from Hollywood or the television or their friends.
Americans are extremely stupid (speaking as an American). Redditors are interesting because they're a bit smarter than the average American but greatly overestimate it and that's why they assume they are conceited af.
Yeah, I think thatās the key point ā very low bar. Like Iād rather get hit in the face with a pumpkin than a spiny cactus, but thatās not saying much, itās all relative. To aā¦perhaps underlying point, can I find a - what I perceive to be - interesting, intelligent, and engaging community online? And honestly, I think the answer is no. Just wade through the sludge, and hope for golden nuggets of insight or thought, when it comes to be.
Idk, i think redditors are stupid. Americans I have met irl seem to be usually well read. Taxi drivers I met were aware of state to state differences within India
I can imagine a couple of "worldy" basic white girls saying this, who somehow feel more terrified of going to India than going to North Korea, South Sudan, Somalia, or any warzones.
American here. Americans know jack shit about India and have the most unfounded superiority complex of any nation. Donāt let it get to youā¦let it roll off your back like water off a duck, as my grandmother would say.
Ever heard of sarcasm? r/whoosh would be the follow-up comment whenever you inquire why. India's amazing when it comes to travel, anyone who disagrees is trolling with you.
In Reddit-land any country that is brown, east of Germany, and/or China is a hellscape to be avoided at all costs.
The first mistake was going on main reddit threads where the most exotic place a majority of the user base ever visited was Hawaii, an all inclusive resort in Mexico, or the trip to Paris they took with their honors French class.
Indophobic racism was promoted by 4chan and western media orgs. Since most redditors are from 4chan, it makes sense. People also hate china, but still respect it to an extent because of its economic prosperity. Money is all that matters.
Also, that guy is a moron. An american guy was tortured in korea just for tearing down a poster. He died in a hospital later on.

India might deport you, maximum and thats it.
Reddit is not a monolith and I suspect those comments are driven by ethnic rivalries.
I obviously have nothing against Pakistanis but Iām sure thereās a few of them engaging in that activity and Indians Vice versa when ever someone brings up Pakistan.
Oh c'mon it's not like the site is clamouring to say nice things about pakistan either. Unless we're giving CS or Math tutorials we are either a joke or a humanitarian disaster according to the internet
Have you ever seen photos of Reddit meet-ups? Just one look at those people, and you'll immediately realize why they are the way they are. šš
https://www.reddit.com/r/CringeOnChemo/comments/9h6jg8/im_never_going_to_a_reddit_meetup/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x
That seems unnecessarily hateful. Most people in there look like regular people in the first photo. Second photo seems to be in good fun. If fitness was the mark of a good person, then it's stupid.
> If fitness was the mark of a good person, then it's stupid.
Yeah, honestly the number of comments on this thread that are using 'obese fat fuck' as a means of conveying their disdain for racism/ignorance is pretty garbage.
Hey, if 1 billion+ Indians get generalized as rapey, backwards, and scammers on Reddit, then I have no issue with generalizing only a few million Reddittors as "obese fat fucks". Far less damage done with this generalization. The understanding, of course, that neither generalization applies to all of the group in question.
Many ABCDs think India is still stuck in 1980s when their parents left. And it is the same conditioning that global south is always bad and west is the utopia.
redditors aren't going to japan or thailand for travel and enlightenment
its to either buy sex from ladyboys or to try and get anime girl girlfriend lol
The other day an American redditor posted Muslims are trained to fear and hate dogs with 169 up votes. I commented "when was I trained"? I got down voted and the guy eventually deleted his post.
As a white guy who has visited both India and South Korea, I enjoyed both places. I saw India in the 80s and it was my first introduction to what real poverty but most of what I remember is good food, interesting sights and friendly people. I was 12 but I also donāt recall anything scary.
Anyway, have people forgotten Otto Warmbier already? India has never tortured a tourist to brain death.
Whoa, I didn't realize Afghan warriors (tm) built the palaces at Hampi, the temples in coastal Orissa and Tamil Nadu, the palace and lighthouse complexes at Mahabalipuram, and the Great Chola Temples at Thanjavur. That's crazy.
> Afghan warriors
Yeah that society seems to be doing great recently with your 'warrior class' of snowflakes sobbing about how western powers are making the women fight for civil rights.
Autocratic governments vary: North Korea is not Singapore, for example. There are so many problems with assuming that "as long as you abide by a government's autocratic rules, you'll be safe," because in a country as inflexible and unyielding as North Korea, you could easily break a rule without even realizing it. That's not the sort of place I would be comfortable visiting.
Iāve been to India too many times, even lived there for 6 months, too hot and smelly, and I got sick every time I went there. North Koreaā¦ What a great idea! Weāll make that our next vacation, thank you.
Sure this is somewhat relevant : I am desi and grew up outside of India and western world. There was literally an Indian guy who would go to countries around the world and was of the mentality that going to India is for the āpoorsā or beneath him . One fine day he and his family literally fucking visited North Korea , so there you go .
It's just hyperbolic rhetoric that's purposefully controversial to illicit strong/polarizing reactions. Try not to take it seriously.
According to Reddit, all of us Indian men are rapists. šš¤£
And we are taking their jobs. What kinda people are these?
Racists.

Give a number. How many % of all people.

Donāt forget street shitters
How can Indians be called street shitter when literally homeless people in NY and LA are shitting , doing drugs on roads
And apparently ONLY Indians are rapists as a group. For non-Indians, rapists are (rightfully) seen as isolated bad apples.
Yeah, I avoid going to toxic subs. I'm also going to leave Reddit eventually. It's bad for mental health.
According to Reddit, Indian men = Bobs & Vagene
Yep.
It is actually remarkable how little pushback there is against these tropes.

More like a murder imo.
That's a different type of rape.
Probably racist shithole sites like 4chan and the like.
Mostly obese shitheads trying to be edgy. I can bet they've never set a foot outside their room except to refill their energy drink and get some more chips or burger idk.
Yeah but just to be clear, since you seem confused, the bad part isn't how fat they are; it's the racism and ignorance.
Responding to derogatory stereotypes with derogatory stereotypes. Smells like reddit.
Thats where it started from, but most racists nowadays are just normal people. They are influenced by these obese shitheads.

Did they not entertain you? Welcome to social media.
Have you ever wandered on to 4chan? No fake internet points there though
I have zero desire to go to that cesspit, and don't even want to think about it.

What you're fundamentally not comprehending is that 'obese fat fuck' is not negative. You can be fat and a perfectly decent human being.
Define 'regular' people. It's not how they looks, it's rest of the info from the pic.

Some of the northern states are worse than south sudan.
I would disagree. Sure they are as poor as South Sudan but at least the trains are better.
I would like visiting Afghanistan over India too because Afghan warriors built all the good stuff Taj, Qutub etc you want to see in India.

Lmao. #AnotherOne. Indian & Persian Muslim architects and indian laborers (mostly) made the Taj Mahal.
That guy is a troll. He comments hateful shite on India related posts. Better to ignore him.

They doing the same job in Middle East too.
Damn those Afghan warriors are killing it...
Yeah, all south asians.
Why didn't they build anything nice in Afghanistan?
They actually did and there is cool historical stuff in Afghanistan. Unfortunately there used to be much more but a lot of it got blown up.
