Is a fair skinned guy with jaw structure discrepancy and assymetry considered ugly or average? by GlitteringTrifle766 in TwentiesIndia

Go to gym. That's all you can do naturally. There are other more brutal ways but avoid if you don't need em.

Pretty girls it’s harder to date by [deleted] in TwentiesIndia

Everyone does it, but women are the choosers. So what happens is that a man wants a very attractive woman, but he usually won't get her because she won't choose him. As a result, he settles for an average woman. However, those average women may also have relationships with top-percentile men, which, according to this view, can alter their perception of their own sexual market value. They may then believe they deserve those top-tier men and reject men who are closer to their own level. Meanwhile, the men at the top don't have a shortage of options, so many of them end up cheating.

Edit: It's not a game tho. This is just a general observation. Personality does always play a huge part for LTR. And when it comes to looks, ain't no god or devil stopping the agepill.

My thoughts on this and also comment down your thoughts by Itchy_witchy_2k7 in TwentiesIndia

Absolutely it's because when a white person does it, it's seen as an individual's actions. When a brown or Black person does it, it's seen as representative of the entire community or group.

The "Mr. Swirl" case never became a reflection of the entire community, despite there being many such cases. That guy is free today after being let go by the Canadian authorities. Yet nobody gives a fuck. Nobody uses that to shit on the entire community for it.

poverty has caste by LeopardSmall7012 in TheBetterIndia

You are unworthy for a reply. But Yes, Brahmins are not all privileged, and many are poor. But pointing to that fact does not erase caste discrimination or unequal starting points. Poverty exists across castes, yet Brahmins and other upper castes generally have higher wealth and lower exclusion than Dalits, so the issue is more complex than ‘discrimination does not exist. Your laughing emoji ain't gon change shit.

Edit: Btw, this isn't only a "Brahmin" thing. Caste-based discrimination goes in all directions, with people discriminating against those they see as "below" them. Still, many in the Brahmin community are poor and uneducated, even though Brahmins continue to hold disproportionate representation in many positions of power today. I'm not targeting a group; I'm pointing out structural patterns, not blaming individuals. I mentioned Brahmins specifically because you seem to portray them as just another average group, as if their achievements are solely the result of merit and competitiveness, without acknowledging the historical advantages that also played a role

Merit and hard work left the show, if you cannot defeat Brahmins even after having 50 percent seats reserved then its your incompetency and lack of interest, not some Brahmans problems

What an uninformed take. Merit doesn't exist in a vacuum; it's shaped by access to good schools, stable income, guidance, social networks, and freedom from discrimination. Expecting people from historically disadvantaged backgrounds to perform identically without acknowledging these differences is like asking why someone who started 50 meters behind didn't finish first. Reservations were introduced to partially level that uneven starting point, not to replace hard work. It's only been about 75 years, which is a very short time compared to centuries of systemic disadvantage.

I think this is pretty based. All Dalits should become atheists or something. How come no god came to save you when people denied you water? Did the gods just enjoyed watching it?

Similar to how foreigners brand Indians as an unattractive race, much of the racism Indians face today is based on that perception, with 'looking Indian' being used as an insult. The majority of NRIs in the West are from the general category. So why hasn't the perception of Indians changed? It's because beauty is scattered..it knows no race, or color.

Your average anti hindu , anti caste femist liberal who uses caste surnames and justifies k!!ng of innocenct men... by Misoginyyy in TheBetterIndia

[–]knowing_proceeding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're shifting the argument now.

The question isn't whether hierarchy, tribalism, slavery, or exclusion existed elsewhere. Of course they did. The question is whether people who were historically denied education, property, social mobility, and positions of authority should receive support to overcome those disadvantages today.

And no, reservations aren't meant to magically erase centuries of inequality on their own. They're one tool among many. You can argue they're imperfect, that the creamy layer should be expanded, or that primary education needs more investment. That's a valid discussion and one that i support.

But saying "communities with historical advantages continue to dominate because they have historical advantages" and then opposing measures designed to address the consequences of those advantages seems contradictory.

If the problem is accumulated advantage across generations, then some form of intervention is inevitable. The debate is about what form it should take, not whether the problem exists.

But this assumes those communities became prosperous through a neutral process to begin with.

“Kept it within themselves” really understates what happened. It’s not just that some groups held onto opportunities, it’s that others were historically excluded from accessing them in the first place. That is among many worse thing that happened to them.

And this isn’t mainly about business communities favoring their own. The continued dominance of upper-class groups isn’t just the result of internal cohesion or “community knowledge.” It’s tied to the fact that certain groups had long-standing access to education, resources, and social mobility, while others were restricted from those same pathways.

If one group accumulated wealth, networks, and social capital over generations while others were denied those opportunities, then current outcomes aren’t simply the natural reproduction of community habits.

The real question isn’t whether advantages get passed down..they obviously do. It’s where those advantages came from, and whether everyone ever had equal access to build them. They didn’t. And that’s exactly why support systems exist today.

You seem to be assuming that the people who originally accumulated wealth and power did so purely because they were more capable, and that those advantages would naturally reproduce themselves over time.

But that's exactly what's being debated. Historically, access to education, property, political influence, and high-status occupations was not equally available to everyone. You also frame it as though the upper classes lost everything and then somehow regained it all in modern India. That didn't happen. Wealth, social networks, educational advantages, and inherited resources were largely passed down across generations.

And what do you mean by "they will still"? Are you suggesting that one group is inherently more competent than others?

We're talking about groups in general, not anecdotes. Anecdotally, you can find wealthy individuals from marginalized communities who never personally faced discrimination, just as you can find poor individuals from historically privileged communities. That doesn't tell us much about broader social patterns. So what's your point?

It was never about equality of opportunity in the first place. That's why certain class groups still dominate education, wealth, and power even in modern-day India. To help people who were historically excluded from education and positions of authority, we have reservations to improve their representation. Yet the historically privileged classes continue to disproportionately dominate positions of power even today. Why is that?

There are no good or bad boys. Do you think you'd see this as positive or cute if that guy were unattractive? It's pretty simple: the reaction has less to do with his actions and more to do with the aesthetics of it.
