Could be Pakistani. The most Indian-hating person I ever met was a Pakistani guy.

India and Pakistan have a bit of a history

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Understatement of the century ☝️

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Hahahaha that’s akin to “Israelites and Palestinians have been in a bit of a disagreement for a few years now.”

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

They haven't always seen eye to eye, let's put it that way

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Are Israeli's called Israelites? That's a very ancient biblical term, no?

Anon actually so racist can't tell Indians apart from Pakistanis

[–] Daxtron2@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 year ago

I used to work with this lifted-truck literally red-necked red neck. He kept going on about how hot his girl was, and how white she was.

One day he shows me her picture, and she was indeed a very hot dark skinned Latina. Some people are just in denial.

A lot of Latin American people see themselves as white and would get very offended if you suggest otherwise
Edit: Sorry I had no idea latinx was offensive

[–] Texas_Hangover@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

Not as offended as they would be if called them Lafuckingtinx to their face lmao.

[–] dudinax@programming.dev 12 points 1 year ago

I lot of Latinos are white, but she was not. Of course to a racist like this guy, no Latino is really white.

[–] pascal@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

Please stop using "latinx".

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 7 points 1 year ago

Only Americans seem to draw a distinction between Spanish descendents other European descendents. Presumably because they're poor and on the wrong side of a line someone drew on a map.

Antonio Banderas was bemused when he was labelled a "person of colour".

[–] dreamer@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Yes I've had this argument with some Latino people. I guess they don't to be on the shitside of the stratification, but the racist whites hate them as well.

I feel like this phenomenon should have a catchy name, like: "No one hates Scotsmen more than Scotsmen."

[–] Godort@lemm.ee 33 points 1 year ago

Damn Scots! They ruined Scotland!

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's called "uncle ruckus" In my circles.

[–] peanuts4life 9 points 1 year ago

Omg, I forgot about that character 😅

[–] Rinox@feddit.it 40 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I mean, we're on Lemmy, every American here hates America

I don't hate America, I just wish we could be better. Hate takes too much energy

I have an Asian buddy that rages over how bad Asian drivers are and even gives them the fingers pulling his eyes even more closed move while passing them. I don't go anywhere in a car with him anymore... Come to think of it I rarely see him now...

[–] BolexForSoup@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

Sounds like a great guy lmao

[–] spudwart@spudwart.com 12 points 1 year ago

Have you met Americans?

Source: I'm an American.

[–] joel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or they could be from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka...

[–] bobbyfiend@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

met a guy online who has [opinions]

see the guy

I'm not racist or anything but he's clearly [race] so his [opinions] are hypocritical

It's like Americans on lemmy!

Familiarity breeds contempt

[–] puncmunc@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

As mentioned in the thread, self-hatred or the guy being Pakistani are two likely explanations. Maybe a third scenario could be he was testing if Anon was racist against Indians as well before presenting himself.
