Seriously subreddits like “Indian Facebook” are pretty friggin racist and allowed to do openly for some people odd reason. It’s literally just anglicized whites trying to put posts up that frame Indians as sexy crazed imbeciles obsessed with white women and then laughing about said posts amongst each other. I’m lucky I’m a Jew, they haven’t been paying much attention to us lately. Also, how the hell is it allowed? Shit isn’t borderline racist, it is racist in some posts

Really just shit lord as hell.

    In TERF island during last election there were a surprising amount of Labour supporters who just as enthusiastically supported Modi. It was weird.

    Yeah India does have a lot of issues with misogyny. I have distant family there too. It’s especially dangerous/unheard of for women to travel or live alone in some parts. It doesn’t look like the social conservatism will go anywhere in the near future, especially in the rural parts where most people live.

    ...but the white women staring also originates from colonial beauty standards. Even to this day the biggest Indian celebrities (cricketers and actors) endorse and advertise skin lightening products, bleach their skin etc. Most of Indian film history was dominated by white passing actors with very pale skin and dark skin was used for comic relief/portray evil etc. Rich families arrange marriages for their kids with people with whiter skin tones. It’s wild.
