Reply to comment by technitecho in German leader seeks Indian support for Russia's isolation by Falls_stuff

i appreciate the info, but i'm not too sure how aligned the west is with india. enemy of our enemy, yes.

for example, this week there was a bunch of protests from indians in Washington due to legislation being proposed that makes it illegal for people to discriminate against others because of the caste they belong to.

most Americans see the caste system as discrimination/classism (because it is) so it seems like indians who have fled their third world homeland to the US now want to employ the same hate tactics that has turned india into what it is (or has kept it as it is for as long as it has been that way).

i get the impression that indians are entirely unaware of the monster they have running their country.

i should also note that the legislation is proposed by an indian person, to be fair.

Don't mind them. Castism is horrible. Our freedom fighters actively tried to denounce and stop castism but these fuckers would flee to the west in opportunities for better life and still think they are the kings everywhere. I mean u guys have MTG and Lauren bobert... I am sure u can understand that shitheads exist everywhere.

oh yeah for sure. i actually am starting to think that all of these patterns of hypocrisy is God showing us how fucking dumb we are and it's ok to be both socially supportive of everyone without being a commie, and that competition inspires our greatness as one world nation. the lines are bullshit and we draw them for ourselves.

thanks for your input

It's easy to pull demographic polling data for demographic groups, and I see that the majority of Indians in American don't even identify with caste.

Unfortunately, most white people voted for Trump, a man who is explicitly racist and misogynist, among other things. It almost seems like those third world immigrants people might be better integrated into our society that doesn't like discrimination/classism than people who have roots here going back multiple generations.

i've worked in data science and understand data, i know how polling can work and where it fails. were you not surprised when Trump won? if you say yes it shows the holes in your logic. if you say no then you probably can acknowledge the depths of the shit we have created and the probability that indians are just better at playing the "we are all Gods children" wolf in sheep clothing thing that the rest of "us" ddo

also you're right about the misogyny stuff for sure, he's sickening and there's plenty just like him in the rest of the country but india will never be celebrated for the way they treat women at all.

The reason why most of those Indians fled their homeland is because they were discriminated against by the govt. for belonging to the "high castes". The constitution of India was authored by a person belonging to the lowest caste. Modi is literally low caste.

What do you even know about India's caste system? And you say you work in data science as well. Yet you cannot even do your own research?

The fact that you think castes are a real thing at all shows that you are brainwashed and classist. Hate has no polarity. Your logic is the same as privileged people who think 'pedigree' is a real thing.

Still haven't done your research, you dodo? The caste definitions need to exist because only then the govt can provide "reservations" (or affirmative action, as you call it) for the historically underprivileged castes. That is one of the biggest reasons why India cannot get rid of castes. If I said "Obama is black", are you going to call me racist? You insufferable moron. I myself am from a lower caste. And I have benefited from the affirmative action policies due to my caste. Are you going to say we shouldn't have affirmative action? The ones that you saw protesting in WA state are high castes who have lost opportunities because of these affirmative action. Now you are siding with them? Actually I'd too, after seeing how it's unfair to them. But you otoh talking about something you know nothing about, and ending up looking like a clown is pathetic. And then you complain when Indians think you don't deserve our sympathy or support.
