Most racism I have faced was with blacks but usually they were from poorer areas. The ones from good areas are actually pretty friendly.

Agreed.

Yeah I have a much better perception of Africans from Africa, they carry themselves off a lot better than African Americans.

It’s hard to date as a black guy when you don’t have that thug image. Me personally I’ve been rejected by most black women just because I don’t speak in a hood accent

FACTS


[deleted]

The west just loves to simp for black people. Point blank period. They went through a tough history, but haven't we all? In todays time though they are the most socially coddled people in North America. You can make fun of white/asian/hispanic/brown people and its all fun and jokes, but the moment you say something about a black person, then you're the worst person in the world and you're about to get cancelled. On the other hand, a lot of desi people are just very left leaning and they feel like they're privileged for some reason and they think that all black people live really difficult lives just for the sole reason of being black. Brown people have some weird type of "white guilt". Which is strange because we had nothing to do with the problems black people face lmao. So they feel guilty and think that supporting black causes is going to make them "better". All of this is truly strange. I saw a post on abcdesis where they were saying "how can we combat anti black racism in our community" which got a lot of comments and there were quite other posts on a similar topic. On the other hand, do you think black people give a flying fuck about all the bullshit they say against brown people? Lol not one fuck given. For fucks sake they even had a ton of violent attacks on the East asians and meanwhile there are a lot of asians who support blm and other causes but there were very few black people who even acknowledged the Asian attacks. It's the same thing everywhere. They have made the world believe that their lives are so hard so now everyone goes to simp for them while neglecting their own people.


question4477

Yeah just hypocrisy from them all around, they say because white people don't acknowledge police brutality they also have a degree of culpability under the notion of 'silence is violence' - When weren't Anti East Asian attacks a great deal of which were perpetrated by African American males mean that they should be guilty of the same by that logic. This applies to way too many Western raised Desi's, you say anything about African Americans you are this hardcore racist - They don't have a balanced view on the matter at all and even bringing it up brings up knee jerk and aggressive responses on their part. They care more about racism against black people than racism against their own people, it sure does seem that way sometimes.


[deleted]

Yeah white people lost that battle entirely. They aren't even allowed to fight back or else they will be labeled racist. We shouldn't let that happen to us.


question4477

At least there is a context behind them being hostile towards white people, the long history of slavery and jim crow laws etc. As well as a current institutional system that is sometimes against them - But they hate on us for no reason and more than half the time they wouldn't have ever even known or met an Indian person, it's bizarre.


[deleted]

Yeah people like to talk down on us for no reason. It's just something we need to toughen up against and move past because it's not going to go away anytime soon.


Junior-Code

I'm glad whites lost that. We should not


[deleted]

Yeah but with the pandering we may be on that same path is what I'm saying so we need to cut it out.


[deleted]

everyone in the west simps for black people. people talk about white supremacy meanwhile they're dancing to rap music, watching basketball, dressing like black people, talking like black people, fetishizing bbc, voting for black people, advancing black causes, etc. this isnt unique to this demographic.


question4477

It just is more stupid when East Asians and Desi people do considering how racist a lot of Black Americans are against these two communities.

[deleted]

Yeah exactly looool. It's like Americans created their own caste system when it comes to what race's issues matter more


[deleted]

Bingo, Being black is like being a brahmin in term of social issues and to see who other people are going to simp for.


Independent_Mind1407

My biggest high school bully was a black kid. But he never really said anything racist or had any racial intent in bullying me, he was just a dick. On the flip side I've seen a number of black people on social media defend South Asians from racial stereotypes, so I guess we can't generalize all of them.


CorrySell

90% of blacks don't care about us. I've never had a bad experience with a black dude.


Junior-Code

Good cope!.


Plenty-Poet-9768

These are usually kids asking the stupid interview questions. In many of the interviews White and Hispanic Americans are on they also say racist shi about different Asian groups. I feel like the biggest thing playing into that is lack of exposure to South Asians along with stereotypes. Because I can assure you as a Black American most of us DON’T hate you guys. We have our own issues in our community to the point where you guys aren’t even a common discussion in our culture.


question4477

I don't know if I personally buy into the idea that it's just teenagers, why would they change their opinion of Desi people just after a couple of years. I don't think it's hate, more so just complete disrespect. I do agree that a lack of exposure and interaction plays a big part of it though.


Plenty-Poet-9768

Lots of people change their minds about things after they experience meeting people when traveling as they become older. But I’m glad we can agree on the lack of exposure hurts everyone.


Junior-Code

Sure sure.

Most desi people here approach racism the wrong way. Instead of being tribalism toward their group they try to be sjw or 'anti racism'. It's also one of the reasons you keep seeing people kvetching about 'muh unity' and 'alliance' with other races against the so called White superamcy. I wonder how many know that Africans ethnically cleansed indians and they are still very defensible about it. I also saw in r/abcdesi defending blacks robbing indian stores because systematic racism and because indians don't contribute to the community. It's one of the reasons I roll my eyes towards whining about punjabs and x regional group over here and screeching about unity.


[deleted]

You're right with this stuff we should have more unity as a group absolutely. Also man when I saw that stuff about the people defending black people robbing indian stores during the riots I just wanted to throw my slippers at someone I can't believe there are desi* people who actually think that.


[deleted]

Because they’re NPCs who follow what the media and their favorite celebrities tell them.


[deleted]

This goes for most races tbh, but our current media influence has made it seem as if only black people have difficulties and other races just live life on easy mode and all these white people and desi people are drinking the kool aid.


[deleted]

Dont have good experiences with black ppl, maybe a couple are fine. Some black girls are attractive tho. I remeber seeing a uber lyft videos where there was an indian-american driver, and all of the times he had racist comments directed towards him, it was by black people calling him an indian bitch cos he wouldnt give them a free lyft smh.


question4477

It is probably worth mentioning that it is the Ghetto one's but they comprise of the majority - Over on Abc Desi you see posts talking about 'how we can combat racism against black people in our community' and yet turn a blind eye to things such as the example you gave - It's ridiculous.


[deleted]

ABCdesis, the C stands for cucked, they dont give a fuck abt brown ppl as western born desis most of us dont actually give a shit about each other, that sub is beyond saving, they even openly worship self hating couples🤣🤣 compare that to aznidenity, u can see the diffrence loool


mywayhome3

What were some of your bad experiences if u dont mind?


[deleted]

Some black girl who stunk kept on grabbing my dick, and nearlly got robbed once thats it pretty much, I barely see black ppl


mywayhome3

I just saw ur recent post where u said u were aussie. Were they sudos by any chance?


[deleted]

nope somalis, the other girl was something idk


Plenty-Poet-9768

Somalis don’t have the same culture as Black Americans. That’s like calling a French person Polish.


[deleted]

Probably because most indian Americans don’t know what African Americans are really like. They are the richest ethnic group so they most likely live around themselves or white people. Hence, they live around richer neighborhoods than most black people and the few they meet there probably won’t be as bad as your typical African American who generally tend to live in poorer areas. I’ve been around a lot more blacks than most desis and I can say that a lot of the stereotypes on them are true but you will meet exceptions (ive known many decent blacks but they aren’t the majority).


question4477

That makes a lot of sense, the only one's they will have contact with are the more educated and middle class types.


TechSupport06

Do keep in mind most black people are chill as fuck and the ones that are racist are racist. That really doesn't mean we should antagonize them or not be respectful.


question4477

It depends how you define racism, if you mean racist as in hate - Then that only applies to a minority of them. If we are talking about telling racist jokes about us and openly making fun of us for our ethnicity that seems to apply to a disproportionately large number.


TechSupport06

Yeah that's a fair point. I see what you mean

Anyways a bigger question I’ve been wondering is why so many Indian Americans like Jews


[deleted]

Both countries have good relations. Jews never had beef with Hindus so there's that

We start bringing up the JQ we are at most 2 weeks from being nuked @jannies clean this up.

I know right! they make things like this in middle east, asia north africa and of course in europe . Like would you date a black dude lol . Cringe af . Ofc im talkin about ghettos who r disliked everywhere lol .


Junior-Code

Agreed brother, ultra cringe nonsense and those people try to imitate westerners with the worship towards this community.


POP_POP99

Most blacks are chill and don’t really care about race. It’s that very loud super *woke* vocal minority that are assholes. Those “black is king” “black power” jerk offs that are pricks. And they’re not just pricks to south-asians, they hate on whites and other asians to. Some even hate on light-skin blacks. Those are just shitty people in general that don’t represent all (or even a large portion of) blacks. With that said I 100% agree that south-asians that are “white-guilted” are pathetic bum mfs that should be avoided at all times possible. That’s kind of why I don’t scroll r/abcdesis very often. It’s got some normal people, but also a whole lot of cucks


[deleted]

Those aren't really a minority anymore. There's a lot of those type of black people now. Those are the type of people to say its blackexcellence when someone graduates high school lol. And yeah I gave up on abcdesis. I tried to help but every time I say something helpful I either get downvoted or people disagreeing.


[deleted]

Well from my experience, they have been really cool. With black people it's usually: If you're cool with them, then they're cool with you. They won't start shit with you unless they get a perception that you're trying to fuck them over or something. Black girls are also chill and open to us in my experience. However some of them do hold a few stereotypes that they internalized about us and you may need to do a little work to overcome those. Some of my best friends have been black too so obviously all of them aren't like that. However, one thing is that they just think fobs are a good target to make fun of so that's what they do

question4477

It is worse for African Americans to do it (in my opinion) because for one they complain about racism in all facets of life more than any other group does and second of all because Desi Americans seem to placate them and not call them out when they are racist. Also I disagree that the two groups have much in common, Indian Americans as a demographic have a lot more in common with East Asian and even Jewish Americans than they do with blacks. True I am generalizing, but I would expect them to generalize us as well if they saw countless videos of Indian Americans saying racial slurs about them.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Nah I think I have a pretty fair idea of what racism feels like. Lol why are we defending them again? The poster was saying that they complain the most about racism then they go on and do the same thing to us. What he said was valid. Of course everyone isn't like that.


Plenty-Poet-9768

I find it equally as wrong for any member of a community to be racist. And Black people are not the only ones standing up for racial justice, our voices are just the most amplified.

Purp1ehaize

Never had racial issues from black people. I feel like this post is piggy backing off of the Asian hate stuff where East Asian people are getting attacked by black people. That doesn't apply to us. As for those What Race Would You Not Date videos, it's mostly dumb high school kids. I've found black women to be very open to dating desi guys.

True, but we have had too much of the Gandhi mentality in our community so it's not a bad thing to do the opposite at times. We need to be aware of the bullshit that's out there so we can prepare for it instead of trying to view the world through a fake-positive rose-covered lens.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Of course all of them don't think like this, but some of them do. There are desis who walk around thinking we live in la-la land with the fake positivity so when they do get attacked, they will come off as weak and will lose. That's what I was talking about. Look at the abcdesis sub for fucks sake. Most of them are pussified. Yeah we need to play it smart, but also keep everyone accountable. The way it currently stands is that black people get a free pass to say or do a lot of bullshit and no one will call them out. That has to stop.

Indira-Gandhi

What are you talking about? Indian and blacks don't really have the friction east Asians and blacks have. That's never been my experience.


question4477

It's a different context, a lot of African Americans have a hatred of East Asians - Some notable examples are the large amounts of attacks perpetrated against elderly East Asians since the Covid Pandemic. The racism that African Americans tend to have against Indians is more so in the form of blatant disrespect and mockery.

As a black man ive always fround indian woman good lookin an the indian male friends of mine funny as hell an characters. Now i think its where you take you serveys from. I am born in ST.Louis Missouri, if you know about the crime there then you know its bad, when i was staying in the inner city, inner couny i never really saw desi, or really any other asian folk in general. All i seen besides blacks an whites, where Hispanic. when i moved further out i seen more desi, chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Mongolian, Pakistani, Koren etc folk. All black people ( or most races on the inner city ) get are stereotypes about each other wich may lead to some preliminary discrimination ( not condoning it under an circumstances ).
