Seriously subreddits like “Indian Facebook” are pretty friggin racist and allowed to do openly for some people odd reason. It’s literally just anglicized whites trying to put posts up that frame Indians as sexy crazed imbeciles obsessed with white women and then laughing about said posts amongst each other. I’m lucky I’m a Jew, they haven’t been paying much attention to us lately. Also, how the hell is it allowed? Shit isn’t borderline racist, it is racist in some posts
Really just shit lord as hell.
Sex crazed Indian is actually a colonial racist idea made up by the British the same way black men’s sexuality was portrayed as violent in american media and even porn today.
When Indian resistance drove the British out they made up numerous false accounts of mass rapes of white women in India. The stigma stuck and resurfaced when Indians and Pakistanis migrated to TERF island in the 20th century.
It’s allowed because Reddit doesn’t care unless it gives them bad publicity lol. They literally allowed softcore child porn for half its existence because ‘muh free speech’
Altho tbh there is a ton of misogyny in India today. Plus a lot of sexual repression due to conservative values and shit like that. So when a white woman is walking a busy street, all the dudes just stare at her with no sense of shame or whatever. So it's a weird situation for sure, but no excuse for the racist jokes. Plus the fucking Hindu nationalist shit isn't helping because it maintains male dominance. I have relatives who are straight up Hindu nationalists and proud of it. It sucks...
In TERF island during last election there were a surprising amount of Labour supporters who just as enthusiastically supported Modi. It was weird.
Yeah India does have a lot of issues with misogyny. I have distant family there too. It’s especially dangerous/unheard of for women to travel or live alone in some parts. It doesn’t look like the social conservatism will go anywhere in the near future, especially in the rural parts where most people live.
...but the white women staring also originates from colonial beauty standards. Even to this day the biggest Indian celebrities (cricketers and actors) endorse and advertise skin lightening products, bleach their skin etc. Most of Indian film history was dominated by white passing actors with very pale skin and dark skin was used for comic relief/portray evil etc. Rich families arrange marriages for their kids with people with whiter skin tones. It’s wild.
:doomer:
Is it possible that you could explain where some of this comes from?
Which part specifically?
Ive dealt with a few guys who absolutely refuse to take orders from women, despite those women being obviously better trained than them. But theyll take the orders from me, despite being far less trained on the same equipment.
In my opinion it's no different than the standard misogyny/sexism in the western countries. I think this person summarizes it well:

Fair enough. Ive never thought of how conservative views could affect someone to that point.

it's because white = 5 million irrelevant details and hugbox ethnicities like burgundian and transnistrian
entire Indian subcontinent of 1.6 billion people = "Indian"
and no, europe isn't a continent or even a subcontinent. also fuck whites
My white friends still think I eat North Indian food even though my family is from an island almost two billion people to the south. Try feeding haggis to an ital*an.
Shit like that really pisses me off when people do it. Just the generalisation of all non white cultures like that.
you'd be even more pissed if you understood the totality of geographic/map based brainwashing
I'm from South Africa, so I have a little bit of understanding. My countries borders, as well as most countries on the continent, make zero sense. At least South Africa got to re draw it's provincial borders post 1994 to make some sense.
"Oh I absolutely love Indian food!" (only eats butter chicken and doesn't even attempt to eat with hands)
