Dear Brother Boka,Don’t run to the mods and complain about posts.
This post highlights the typical Indian online, full of affirmation and confidence. However, in this political climate the reality is the word ‘Indian’ is synonymous with hygiene and immigration despite trying so hard to appease people. Check TikTok and X etc, it’s bad to the point you feel for them.
Luckily Pakistanis can say they are the enemies of India otherwise we’d be in the same category as the toilet gang.
I’ve never run to Mods for anything — except once, when my thread about Pakistan’s minister Ishaq Dar admitting to a ceasefire was deleted, because the truth was too harsh for some to digest.
Hygiene and immigration aren’t synonymous with Indians. The word you’re looking for is “stereotype.”
And you’re right — plenty of stereotypes exist: curry smell for Indians, grooming gangs for Pakistanis, terrorists for Muslims, a certain body part for Blacks, etc. But that’s all they are: stereotypes. You’ll find all of these floating around on TikTok and X. I’m not on TikTok, but my X feed is full of posts from Elon Musk and Tommy Robinson types, saying things you’d probably would not like to hear. Similarly, I’m sure your algorithm is filled with anti-India takes from people like Hinkle bhai.
One thing I’ll say though to racist Pakistanis like you who makes me chuckle. This hygiene stuff you guys keep on rambling about - I live in Britain, and when people say things about “Indians,” they generally mean brown-skinned people. You’d be mistaken to think they only mean Indians and not Pakistanis or Bangladeshis when they say “curry munchers.” Come to whitechapel to see what people say about smell from Bengalis or Upton Park for Pakistanis.
Your true friend,
Raj.
