What does racism have to do with that? I am not American and I am against gun violence but here we are. The important thing is the laws that the government enacts.

But kids, women and Russia is mostly what reddit is about currently so you have to understand the circumstances why India is not well seen at least on Reddit.

You're talking like every Indian man wants to grope literally every woman he meets.

correlation =/= causation. Just because there is a a video about guys storming into a womens college in India, doesn't mean everyone in India does it.

The most recent data on rape is sadly 2010, but the US reports 15x more rapes than India does. Now, I know about unreported rape, different definitions etc., but if you think that is enough to make India the Rape country of the world (which is by stats is the US, 84k rapes per 100,000 ppl), Then you are grossly mistaken.

India has a problem of rape. We agree. In fact it is a huge problem caused by a small population. But generalizing an issue to every citizen of India when the issue is caused by the type of people we Indians hate is annoying, irritating and frankly racist. I have seen so many comments asking why Indians are always horny, Why do they grope girls so often etc. It not only angers me but hurts me. India, while not the safest country ever is not a public orgy country or something ridiculous.

all of my stats are taken from the wiki (which tends to be biased slightly against India, but that's just my opinion).

I’m talking about a crowd of boys forcing themselves in a school to grope girls.

Also India has a higher amount of unreported rape because it brings dishonour to the family and lower their chance of marriage so you can’t really use your statistics

I understand the data point, but at maximum its gonna be like 3x or 4x more than the reported cases. not fucking 15x.

I'm talking data, your talking about a video on reddit which probably has either been taken out of context, or been re uploaded a year or two later. I'm giving you facts, reply to me with facts, not a reddit video.

No. He means that we all have problems, and rather than just using those problems, which are caused by a small % of the population of said country, to attack specific nationalities, you should spend your time more effectively.

Oh but the main argument is India as a country helping Russia when they are invading another sovereign nation make it so that redditors don’t have a good opinion of the country.

India buying the oil is preventing the world from the horror of Insane gas prices, which would cause the poorer countries of the world to default a lot more.

What India wants is issues not related to India or any other country not affect the world in such a severe manner. And they are willing to do anything for that.

Do you not try to at least search up the problem of having less supply in a already heavily demanded market?

India is not preventing anything they also sell goods to Russia. Technically India is helping the regime. I am calling you out on making excuses to justify these actions with unsubstantiated claims. India government is just trying to profit of the war crisis to buy oil cheap and increase their GDP

At the end it’s fine but don’t expect Redditors in general who feel the pain of the Ukrainians, to appreciate these actions AND OP coming out to cry about it

Yeah I read them it’s not racism if it’s the truth and targeted at the Indian government as I said. I said the government inaction in regards to women’s rights and also collusion with Russia make sit so that there is a bias in reddit toward the country and not its people.

Respect for trying to argue against Indians in heavily Indian dominated post. They are very patriotic and anti west/USA and sometimes pro russian

It’s not a crime to be contrarian as long as you are courteous and try to be factual.
