You taking your experience with a few AliExpress sellers & Tiktok owners and generalizing it to Chinese culture is the definition of racism.

This is incredibly racist. So I really hope this is a troll post.

I don’t know what you are even arguing. My point is India is democratic and secular despite being flawed. Do you not agree with that? If you don’t agree with that, why are you worried about the word “secular” being removed? How does it matter anyway?

Your incident counting means nothing - India has 1.4B people. Obviously you can find more cases LMAO.

My point is India is democratic and secular - and that’s an achievement in South Asia (that’s why compared to Pakistan). And that has made it more developed. So democracy and secularism are good ideals to fight for.

If India is not better off than Pakistan and Bangladesh, might as well let BJP make it non secular like them? Why bother fighting it?

Right, so went from “no persecution” to “police addressed it”. Cool cool. Can you point me to perpetrators of the genocide being punished?

I am wondering this too. I can’t imagine why they would be this sloppy. It’s also possible that it is one executive who is trying to save himself and maybe throw someone else under the bus.

no refugees

Not true - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_immigration_to_India

fall to the Hindu majority who would nationilze around their identity and oppress everyone else which is exactly what happend

It’s not even close to that. For sure there needs to be big improvements in minority rights but it’s not even close to what Pakistan (and Bangladesh) are. India is heavily flawed but still has a functional democracy and secular state while not a single PM in Pakistan has completed a full term. Lol like they are not even comparable. If anything, India is an achievement of secularism and a good example of why you should separate the church and state.

just gives credit for Pakistan’s purpose

Now that is a circular argument because the nationalists say “look at Pakistan and Bangladesh, Muslims got that, why aren’t we getting one?”. So creation of Pakistan is what gives credit to their argument.

For its purpose of avoiding being an oppressed minority, it succeded.

Did they? Do Pakistani Muslims lead better life than Indian Muslims?

aren’t facing any persecution

Except the genocide, lynching etc. am I right? LMAO

How exactly?

They claim that they are doing this to help non-muslim refugees fleeing places like Pakistan. Their claim is that they can’t accommodate all refugees so the first preference is for non-muslims being persecuted.

If Pakistan didn’t exist, this persecution wouldn’t be there?

that it’s a cultural issue

So when white people say racist things, it’s a one off shithead person. But when brown people do crimes, it must be in their culture, got it.

We can get #NotAllIndians trending

How about we don’t make it about their skin color or “culture” so that we wouldn’t have to do?

By your arguments you’re saying article like this are bullshit hysteria with zero basis in reality?

Not bullshit, never claimed that. Only thing I’m saying is that violence against women is a problem everywhere, not special about Indians. And making it about them is unhelpful and harmful.

That take is super chill and not victim blamey at all. I mean, these “victims” were probably asking for it. Got it

Oof damn talk about putting words in my mouth. Crazy that you want to die on this hill so bad and all based on “the data is wrong” and “my friends said they were sketchy”. Since you are resorting to things I didn’t say to attack me, I’ve realized that this is a waste of time. Good luck - make sure to practice your bigotry in silence, though - unlike this shithead professor but like thousands of professors who are not shithead enough to put it in writing. That will definitely help everyone.

I explicitly said it was not you but propaganda lol.

femme friends who have had sketchy encounters in South Asia

So we went from stats to “trust me cos my friends told me”. Let me guess, your friends also clutch their pearls around sketchy (read “anyone who is not pure white”) people?

who is not white

Cannot think of why someone who is not white would do such mental gymnastics to defend blatant racism. At best it does not help and worst leads to things like this - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/mar/09/german-professor-rebuked-for-discrimination-over-indias-problem

The whole world is extremely sexist and brutal to women. That is clear and undeniable. The problem is when things happen in PoC countries, it gets attributed to their skin color and wide generalizations are made. For example - https://www.reddit.com/r/germany/comments/2yfd88/indian_student_claims_german_professor_denied/

This is someone who said it loud, imagine how many do it silently.

Are you saying US LEOs are on top of their game when it comes to handling cases? Or that women in the US do not feel repercussions for reporting rape cases?

According to those numbers, US has ~73x more. So even if one in 73 is reported, it will match the US. In the end, all you have is that brown people = rapists, terrorists etc. Not saying it’s you, it’s the decades of racist propaganda.

Remember, transphobia with a feminist slant is still transphobic. Racism with feminist slant is still racist.

“2.8B people put under severe unrest is good because it might improve my conditions that are already better than them”

“Malaysia has a dual-track legal system, with both government laws and Shariah”

Well there’s your problem. No one can progress if you mix religion with the state…

Agree this is better but neither of them actually seem “provable” though?

And the streets are better too?? IDK what OP is on. Like everyone talks about how European streets are more walkable, bikable and whatnot

To answer your question on matching emojis, no, it is way more complex than that. For example check the use cases of this one - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill-country_(hieroglyph)

Huh that’s the interesting observation. I feel like it could be a more general human nature? On Reddit and Lemmy, I constantly see people who are not racist against black people be racist against Asians. Almost like they didn’t learn that racism is bad, but that racism against black people is bad. Almost like they need to be taught separately for every group…
