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

      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.

    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…

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

        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)

    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 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.

        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.
