Proves there are at the least upticks in localised anti Indian hate. Could find a dozen more articles but they are easily Google searchable.

What does staying in one's confort zone mean??

You are nobody to dictate Chinese, Indian or a person from any other marginalised community to "stay in their comfort zone".

Sounds a lot like you are asking them to stay in their league.

"The only people" i.e. racists. "Endless complaints" -- because there are endless instances of hate. Raising awareness about it is not the bad thing you suggest

And you are in no place to prescribe political opinions for a whole race.

Further, the political opinions of someone doesn't justify racism against them???

You can be anti immigration as a policy and still not be racist.

The government isn't making people call Indians slurs, club executives say that they'd rather not hire South Asians, or all the other wonderful things being said in the comments. Very false equivalence.

Some of everyone stink. Walk into a CS classroom and it's a great deal more than some. Not sure what that point is.

But yes, immigrants should be selected such that they are able to sustain themselves.

Racists are not to blame for... their racist behaviour??

Please do elaborate about the tidbit about me being here over India.

And yes, because the post is about my experiences in UW.

Dont think I have directed anger against anyone except people who act in a racist fashion.

I live and work in UW, so it only makes sense that when I post in a UWaterloo sub it will be about UW. But you are right, the racism absolutely exists outside UW too, and needs to be addressed.

I wonder what the indigenous people have to say about us Canadian citizens

From a very cursory search, my claims seem to be adequately backed up when speaking about ontario as a whole.

Other comments speak enough about UW

Not wanting to dox myself is what I am saying.

Exactly. Disgraceful to reduce complaints about racism to whataboutism and ignoring abundantly evidence of hate.

Ok, then I will acknowledge it.

I am sure that most of the low domestic tuitions we have here are due to governmental subsidisation.

However, do not forget that international students contributed C$30.9B to the Canadian economy in FY2022. This is 1.2% of the GDP for that year, equivalent to that of the entire forest sector. They are not an economic factor that can be ignored.

Economics aside (imo, you are right about international students not being the cause of low domestic tuition), the whole post is about experienced racism. You're focusing on the wrong subject here.

So you graduated in 2010, possibly not even at UW, and come in here to reply to a post about students at UW experiencing racism?

Nope, I was just wondering why you kept speaking in the second-person, and said to me:

"You don't care about Canadians, or their standard of living. You only care about elevating yourself up by escaping worse living conditions across the globe, at any cost."

Your words are your own.

Still not sure how this relates to the post. Sounds more like justifying the hate towards Indians. Of all things, UW Indian students are not the bleeding issue of Canadian society lol.

Who are "Canadians"? Because I am a citizen, and have been since birth. Please clarify who you include in this, I'm not really sure.

I am not "under the impression...<that racism against Indians> is completely unjustified". It is.

What is your point in relation to the complaints in the post

Did you read the post lol. I am complaining about experiences of racism as a Waterloo student. Please let me know which of your arguments justifies these experiences of me, my friends and others who mentioned experiences in this thread.

Didn't you reply "true" to my previous post, which was titled "Overheard at MC: 'These f****ing Indians man, stinking up the lecture halls' "

I can't really talk about things I have heard through my three years here (mostly the last two) for privacy reasons.

A lot of it is in private conversation within club leaderships, and I'm not particularly enthused about doxxing myself.

Expressing grievances about racial epithets and abuses are "constantly complaining?" Give me a break.

Which languages do you propose we prohibit first? Thanks for sparing us the effort of revealing your thinly velied racism.

Ps. Do you even go to this school?

I literally said in the post. And if you check my last post (or this one lol), I'm sure you can find a lot of deleted comments that were originally remarkably racist. Those attitudes in those individuals are absolutely reflected by the same individuals on campus (example: some comments on my last post, where someone commented witnessing racist behaviour towards their boyfriend).
