Familiarity breeds contempt
I feel like this phenomenon should have a catchy name, like: “No one hates Scotsmen more than Scotsmen.”
It’s called “uncle ruckus” In my circles.
Omg, I forgot about that character 😅
Damn Scots! They ruined Scotland!
Could be Pakistani. The most Indian-hating person I ever met was a Pakistani guy.
India and Pakistan have a bit of a history
Understatement of the century ☝️
Hahahaha that’s akin to “Israelites and Palestinians have been in a bit of a disagreement for a few years now.”
They haven’t always seen eye to eye, let’s put it that way
Are Israeli’s called Israelites? That’s a very ancient biblical term, no?
Honestly it’s either or. I knew a couple of guys back in uni, one Indian the other Pakistani and they were really tight. Maybe it’s just the narrow minded bigots who blindly hate another because of political history rather than treat them as an individual.
Also knew an Israeli and a Palestinian (weren’t tight as such but were friendly with each other).
Honestly, it’s a love-hate relationship. There’s nobody they hate more than the other, at the same time there’s nobody who understands them better than the other.
Even then, the hate is mostly political. It’s politically beneficial to both countries to keep the hate flowing.

PAKISTAN NUMBER ONE 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🔥🇵🇰🔥🇵🇰🇵🇰🔥🇵🇰🔥🇵🇰🔥🇵🇰🇵🇰🔥🔥
Why are you burning the flag?
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…
Sounds like a great guy lmao
Indians brought their caste discrimination system over here…
Sounds like this Dave Chapelle bit…
Or they could be from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka…
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
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
America the country though. Which is quite different from hating an ethnic group.
Didn’t occur to me right away but you’re right. On the other hand, if they live in India then most of the people who ever wronged them would also be from India (which is also not an ethnic group as pointed out)
I don’t, but I’m not very popular around here either. My country is far from ideal, but I still mostly like it.
It’s okay to hate your own culture. Plenty of reasons for Indians to hate India, just like there are plenty of reasons for Russians to hate Russia.

I’m not a fan of the british…
Am british…
Have you met Americans?

Oh yeah they made a documentary about the guy
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 latinx people see themselves as white and would get very offended if you suggest otherwise
Having had this conversation with literally 300+ hispanic people, never once has a single one had a single positive thought about “latinx”. Gendered nouns is literally a large part of their language.
Genered nouns is the backbone of so many goddamn languages. The people being offended by it are the ones that don’t speak that tongue.
Yea the whole thing started and is mostly used by a fringe people who are going a tad too far with political correctness.
Mind you, I’m fine with political correctness and I’m left leaning but sometimes you can go to far.
But if someone wants to be referred to by those terms then be my guest.
Not as offended as they would be if called them Lafuckingtinx to their face lmao.
They’d certainly get offended if someone referred to them as “latinx”, lol
Please stop using “latinx”.
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”.
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 lot of Latinos are white, but she was not. Of course to a racist like this guy, no Latino is really white.
Probably Canadian
It’s like Americans on lemmy!
