It’s something I’ve seen slowly starting to emerge over the course of the last year or so. Maybe even longer. There’s accounts that post stories to designed to shock people into thinking India is a terrible place. Like I get it. India does have issues. And it does have issues with sexual violence as well. But its a shame those conversations seemingly cannot be had without resorting to racism. I hope this site us different.

    Being critical isn’t automatically racist.

    For example, the country where I’ve been groped the most is Egypt, followed shortly by India. That’s not racist.

    If I were to say that every indian male is therefore a sex offender, THAT would be racist.

    Can you tell me how being overly critical of India as a country is the same as being racist towards Indian?

    Probably just more now because the elections make international headlines and Modi has been pulling some weird stunts. It’ll probably die back down.

    Indians? lol, try being Jewish in support of Israels right to exist.

    The Fediverse is the same sewer of racism, and xenophobia, with more of a concentration of Islamic Terrorist Supporters, Tankies, Anarchists, and bleeding heart Leftists than other online spaces.

      Maybe when you say “Islamic Terrorist Supporters” I am hoping you are not considering all 30k+ dead civilians as Hamas? Remember… don’t lose your humanity in your dogmatic defence of Israel.

      But what about my failed colonial ambitions?! Everyone who disagrees is antisemitic.

      Dude, you don’t deserve to be criticized for being a Jew, but you absolutely deserve a tomato for supporting a genocidal ethnostate.

        No, I’m sorry. Zionists gotta project everywhere, now that people in the mainstream are aware of what’s truly happening.

              international law has concept proportionality, which is clearly lacking within Israeli state and military. you should educate yourself.

                I await to see how you justify the apparently indiscriminate massacres of 1,139 people - 695 Israeli civilians (including 36 children), and 71 foreign nationals. Let’s set aside the possibility of rapes and sexual assault as they can’t be absolutely verified.

                In what way do you believe they were proportional?
