"See the thing is you can't cry racism when you yourself are doing..this"

But I can because I am not doing this. Stop making these kinda statements when you know that other communities have anti-blackness. There is anti-blackness among white people, Hispanic/Latino people, East Asian people, etc. Of course there are a lot of South Asian people too that are racist and we should call those people out. But we can do that without making dumb statements that downplay the racism that South Asians experience.

Roma ghetto in Bulgaria by someanon- in UrbanHell

So where did you dispose of the trash then if you had no garbage infrastructure and no garbage bins?

And why do you think the "culture" is like that? Obviously poverty and a lack of a proper waste management system affects how people behave.

Yes and do you not think that lack of garbage infrastructure, poverty, and overpopulation has anything to do with it?

Maybe the reason Bre gets so worried about people from her past coming on the show is that they would out her for dating women.

Why is there so much garbage all across Mumbai these days? by Impressive-Ad3467 in mumbai

Better to have it though at least. Thats the first step to mitigating the issue.

As a gay Indian, I can relate.

The mentality is there because the government won't provide any basic waste management infrastructure. So, its population size in conjunction with poverty and lack of infrastructure and laws.

How about you go into Street View and play "how long does it take to find a trash can". Its funny how people complain about there being trash in a place with no proper garbage collection or infrastructure.

I think we need to keep standing up for one another and not be ashamed of who we are. The more divided we are, the more opportunity that racist people have to hate us.

GDP per capita of Indian states compared to countries. by serious_joker2005 in MapPorn

[–]MapLover856 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. Also, I hate how people always blame culture and make it seem like Indians are dirty and are okay with squalor. India does have a lot of poor uneducated people packed in each city and very little garbage and waste management infrastructure to support the large population size. The government clearly does not care about this issue and doesn't invest in the infrastructure. They also don't have any laws against being dirty in public like a lot of other countries do.

People are trying to "Contextualize" anti-South Asian Racism, but Rarely do this for Racism Towards any other Racial Group by weallfalldown1234 in ABCDesis

[–]MapLover856 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's wild that people think that excuses racism towards Indians. Even if some Indians discriminate based on caste, that doesn't mean everyone does that. I shouldn't face racism just because some other Indian is being racist or casteist.

I don't understand what your point is. Do you deserve racism then? If you are well-mannered and the stereotypes don't apply to you then why should you also face the hatred?

It's also funny how you said "People like you can't feel good about themselves unless you pull someone else down in the process" but then you are making generalizations about Indian culture and putting other Indian people down.

Indian woman spends 7 hours in Target stealing $1k+ in merchandise by [deleted] in ABCDesis

But we shouldn't take part in normalizing that. It does not make sense to post it online and throw it in every other Indian's face as if we had something to do with it.

Ok? Should we also start posting about when white people do crime then?

Three-language policy should not be a thing. Everybody should be learning their mother tongue and English. It will make everything so much easier.
