We're using Idi Amin as the standard for rational behavior now?
Amin only kicked out the Indians, he straight up massacred the Acholi and the Langi. Does that mean you think Acholi and Langi are bad too?
The Indians were scapegoats for him. He was filling his military with Sudanese, Congolese, and Kakwa Muslims while he marginalized or destroyed every ethnic group that posed a threat to his power. Expelling the Indians in the name of pro-Africanism was simply a way to try to unite people behind his rule. Take a group of marginalized businessmen who are seen as outsiders and make them the scapegoat for the people to focus on - virtually the exact same thing Hitler did with the Jews.
I love that ya'all are using two completely opposite receipts to claim to prove the same thing.
If an African leader does something bad for Indians it proves that Indians ain't shyt, and if an African leader does something good for Indians it proves that Indians ain't shyt.
One guy completely ignores that most Africans ain't Idi Amin, and the other guy tries to pretend Idi Amin didn't happen.
There are definitely massive issues with colorism in India, though equating it with the caste system is a bit off-base. In the south of India high-caste people can be dark too, and in the north of India low-caste people can be light too. There are definitely ties between caste and colorism, but it isn't a 1-to-1 relationship. And the evidence is that British influence made it significantly worse than it had ever been before.
But you gonna pretend like there isn't colorism in the Black community too? Does that mean you just assume that any Black man from a colorist place like the USA must hate dark-skinned Africans, even if he dark-skinned himself? Hell, even AFRICA has issues with colorism in some spots itself.
Saying that Indians are colorist and then therefore saying they ain't shyt and must hate Black people brings up some uncomfortable personal realities.
There are DEFINITELY incidents of racism faced by Africans in some of the few places in India where Africans have a meaningful presence. There is a combination of the typical animosity that many immigrant groups get, a lot of Indians being actual racists, and most Indians having no filter. It ain't like America, where racism is something that you aren't supposed to express in polite society - in India if you think someone is fat or stupid you just say so, if you think someone looks weird cause they a foreigner you just stare at them or comment on it, and if you're a racist you can just say something racist out loud. When someone is behaving badly it is shameful so culturally most other people try to look away or laugh awkwardly or pretend nothing is happening, it isn't in their culture to get up in the face of someone who does something wrong like an American might do.
That being said, the minority of those who are racist gets magnified because walking out on the streets of India you pass 10,000 people a day. There are literally people EVERYWHERE. So even if only 10% of them are openly racist and and only 1% of those would actually say something or make a comment out loud, that would still be experiencing racism 10 times a day. That's a lot of bullshyt to deal with, but it doesn't say very much about the 90%.
Ya'all are taking actual bad shyt that goes down, shyt that the Indian community DOES need to address, and then unjustifiably applying that to everyone. Ain't it, you know, a bit racist to automatically make an assumption about an entire group of people based on the bad actions of the minority of that group?
Isn't pakistan & turkey a spinoff of indians ?India would be a true all around threat if Pakistan and Bangladesh didn't spin off of them 70 years ago

The leader of the country right now is a light skinned low caste son of a tea seller. You don't know what you talking bout.

Why does this random anti-Indian racism just pop off in every thread about India?
Oh so you see it now?
I don't really care about that but just wanted to shyt on you real quick because you've actually accused ME of being a racist on here. Nah bruh, this forum condones outright hate and racism towards south asians, black women, and latinos, particularly dominicans, with a fervor so great it borders on cartoonish. Next time be more careful about who you accuse of what, don't let political disagreements drive you to make inaccurate accusations.

I love you, you know.
I'm surprised that France's is that high.
That will change pretty fast. China has managed to add hundreds of millions of Chinese to the middle class (and is still doing so at an unprecedented rate). The same will happen in China.
