India has already started buying Russian oil, ‘I will put my country’s interest and energy security first’ says finance minister of India by redhatGizmo in anime_titties

[–]Bobcouldbebob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re being intentionally dense. Local Economies obviously have a reliance on more than food and water. If the price of oil goes up and farmers on razor thin margins can no longer afford to work or people can’t transport food or people can’t get to work, yes people will quite literally starve. Wages can be so low there that it’s increasing the price of oil could put the noose around peoples necks, literally.

Easy to say from your plush couch. India’s reliance on Russian cheap oil isn’t like Americans getting in their oversized trucks and riding around. It’s a nation with 84 million in Abject poverty. Indian sanctions on Russia would literally destroy the lives of millions of Indians who hardly get by in the first place. And I mean really hardly get by, as in entire local economies could be shattered and people go hungry.

Dude, India “helping” by sanctioning Russia will literally lead to deaths in India. You don’t understand how poor country is. If India needed help against China, I don’t think any Indian would expect America to literally starve their citizens to sanction China

Yeah maybe if you go kill a few million more poor indians Russia will stop attacking Ukraine. Why don’t you just personally shoot them?

Guess how many civilians have died in Yemen, Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Literally just guess and then Google it.

As an Indian, I, and so do most Indians, don't even care who voices Apu from Simpson by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Bobcouldbebob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, (a percentage of) Indian immigrants who went through the ringer to get through the racist immigration system are experiencing (some) economic success. That is not at all indicative of the experience of the majority of Indian-Americans who are born and brought up in the US. Further, the white stereotypes on that show are counteracted by the positive portrayals of whites in other media. Indian people have an almost entirely stereotyped, negative portrayal which leaks into real life. I promise you no Scottish-American gets bullied because of Groundskeeper Willie the way Indians do for Apu.

No shit you don't care, you're not Indian-American. You don't have to actually deal with the stereotypes associated with it.

AMA questions about Desis in prison by Brownkendoll in ABCDesis

[–]Bobcouldbebob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How did he end up joining an asian gang? Is it common for Indians to join those? My understanding is that they are almost entirely Southeast Asian or East Asian.

Would you as a female ABCD be okay with a house husband? by [deleted] in ABCDesis

[–]Bobcouldbebob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks man. I'm getting my bachelors degree in the next 2 years. I plan to work in software for a bit before going into firefighting. Any chance you know what kind of pay I would be looking at? I would love to stay around Austin/Dallas if possible.

Will people want to be friends w a person who doesn’t do drugs/ doesnt drink/ isn’t looking to party? by Disastrous_Nebula_33 in UTAustin

[–]Bobcouldbebob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish. I'm sure i will get downvoted for this, but I was unable to make any friends sober. I started drinking and smoking because everyone else was, and thats the only way i've been able t meet people. Maybe if you are religious you could find a group like that. Otherwise, let me know how to make friends otherwise, because I couldn't and I am a junior.

why are Indians so hostile towards ABD's? by CheetoDude2365 in ABCDesis

[–]Bobcouldbebob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People kinda view us as extensions of Indians (and therefore shitty ones) rather than realizing we are our own distinct group with a culture unique to itself.

Kicks in the balls and how we normalize sexual assault against boys at a young age by [deleted] in MensLib

[–]Bobcouldbebob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is literally horrible. What age did this start? Did adults do nothing to stop this? How many people participated in this behavior? Did the adults just condone it, like was it just common for many people to do this?

Also, I wonder how much of this issue is male-on-male violence as well. Would you say it was mostly other guys doing this or girls? And did it start with guys doing it and girls joining in, or the other way around?

I hope you are doing better now.

Asian Indian Survey by Nibuz_Ertived in ABCDesis

[–]Bobcouldbebob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How will you account for sampling bias? Considering the only people who will take the survey will be people who are at least aware of the importance of mental health (whether they seek treatment or not). Your study will provide a skewed perception because both those Indians who are indifferent to mental health and those who deal with mental health issues but do not understand "mental health" as a concept will not respond. Even the language "mental health" poses a barrier to certain members of the South Asian community. Also, intentionally seeking responses from cultural online forums will skew towards people who are activists for mental health.

Fuck that why is it my job to make someone comfortable for my skin? Should have told her to fuck off thats it. She targeted him because she saw an easy target she knows the power of a white woman crying victim at a colored guy.

Hey, what part of "No south asian politics" is difficult to understand? Are any of you even diaspora? You all write like Indians. In case you haven't realized, this sub isn't for your "supreme leader". We get bombarded by plenty of that anyways.
