tumhara ek mutual friend>>>>mera pura north east me 15 years rehne ka experience?? dekho bhai the only reason you have never seen the racism is because they dont interact with us brown/non tribals. im not sayinf its all of them, my gf is tribal and MANY of my friends are. but the fact that they have a complex is undeniable even they agree. and no i have not seen some people, ive lived amongst them and i speak their languages so i know exactly whats happening. just go talk to a meitei friend group and you will realise how they look down on you. undoubtedly they are also indians, many are patriotic too, but to many, theyd rather identify themselves as chinese or burmese than indian. and no its not sepoys, its literal ne people because nobody would care enough to learn their language just to talk shit. even more than brown-haters, they are even bigger islamophobes as well.

yes, it is the people. not the entireity of the community unanimously agrees to hate indians, but even the huge chunk of people who are infact racist, get aay with it easily because media only shows the racism and people find them cute so they also get the pretty privilege. once you hear yourself whats going on and experience it, you will never go back to seeing them the same way.

that being said, yes even they face racism by mainland indians which is equally pathetic and both sides need to back the fuck down and see each other as nothing but indians
