Has anyone here noticed how reddit has gotten more racist against Indians in the last few months

It's something I've seen slowly starting to emerge over the course of the last year or so. Maybe even longer. There's accounts that post stories to designed to shock people into thinking India is a terrible place. Like I get it. India does have issues. And it does have issues with sexual violence as well. But its a shame those conversations seemingly cannot be had without resorting to racism. I hope this site us different.

I just watched a video of a Brazilian couple who went to India.. the woman was gang r---d by 7 men.

Probably just more now because the elections make international headlines and Modi has been pulling some weird stunts. It’ll probably die back down.

Being critical isn't automatically racist.

For example, the country where I've been groped the most is Egypt, followed shortly by India. That's not racist.

If I were to say that every indian male is therefore a sex offender, THAT would be racist.

Nope. Haven't been on Reddit in almost a year.

Can you tell me how being overly critical of India as a country is the same as being racist towards Indian?

I don't see that comment as recording any more than of that said America... Which I've seen tons and is correct

Indians? lol, try being Jewish in support of Israels right to exist.

The Fediverse is the same sewer of racism, and xenophobia, with more of a concentration of Islamic Terrorist Supporters, Tankies, Anarchists, and bleeding heart Leftists than other online spaces.

Can we not go there please

taanegl ,

No, I'm sorry. Zionists gotta project everywhere, now that people in the mainstream are aware of what's truly happening.

applepie ,

but has everyone thought about the party committing war crimes?

HeartyBeast ,

Parties. Pretty sure the Hamas October action constituted a war crime too

applepie ,

international law has concept proportionality, which is clearly lacking within Israeli state and military. you should educate yourself.

HeartyBeast ,

I await to see how you justify the apparently indiscriminate massacres of 1,139 people - 695 Israeli civilians (including 36 children), and 71 foreign nationals. Let’s set aside the possibility of rapes and sexual assault as they can’t be absolutely verified.

In what way do you believe they were proportional?

applepie ,

civilian death toll in gaza is in excess of 30k, you need to learn to do basic math also, champ

HeartyBeast ,

Yes. My claim wasn’t that Israel isn’t committing war crimes. It clearly is. Possibly genocide too. However, I’m of the opinion that the Hamas attack was a war crime too - hence parties

I hope that’s helpful

applepie ,

you are arguing in bad faith. just stop, nobody is buying it.

public opinion has turned for Israel, so they better finish killing off the Gaza residents, I doubt another such chance present itself. Country will forever be stained with this shit.

HeartyBeast ,

You’re projecting here, I think. I’ve been pretty clear on my position. You haven’t said why you think the Oct 7 attack doesn’t constrain war crime by Hamas.

applepie ,

Hamas is a non state actor under international law. This is not a war, Israel is conducting reprisal against local population due to a terrorist attack. Just like US did after 911.

Reprisals against civilian population is a war crime.

HeartyBeast ,

Fair point to the extent that Palestine isn't a state, Hamas can never commit a war-crime. So that's OK then.

applepie ,

Israel is not even killing Hamas. They just doing scortch earth policy on Gaza residents.

"What about Oct 7" lost any weight 5 months ago lol

HeartyBeast ,

If you read back through this thread, you'll see that in no way shape of form have I defended the atrocities carried out by Israel. That doesn't mean that Hamas' actions on Oct 7 weren't also an atrocity. "Yeh, but that was 5 months ago" doesn't feel like suitable rebuttle. No you don't use genocide as a response to attrocity, but that doesn't mean the original massacre wasn't a atrocity.

I think you should should avoid using "lol" in these kinds of discussions.

There are war criminals on both sides. Some I assume are good people.

Maddier1993 ,

Maybe when you say "Islamic Terrorist Supporters" I am hoping you are not considering all 30k+ dead civilians as Hamas? Remember... don't lose your humanity in your dogmatic defence of Israel.

But what about my failed colonial ambitions?! Everyone who disagrees is antisemitic.

Dude, you don't deserve to be criticized for being a Jew, but you absolutely deserve a tomato for supporting a genocidal ethnostate.
