Indian Community Recognized As The 44th Tribe In Kenya

[ChatGPT-5]

Why are people talking about marriage?

Indians don't have to intermarry with blacks or vice versa.

Corruption, unfair advantages etc is more relevant to this discussion.

Except they have no representation in the govt, nor have any clear cut advantages. They control certain sectors because they came skilled in said sectors. And even that is slowly slipping out of their hands now that Africa is emerging and western born kenyans are going back.

When were you last in Kenya? For a start there're no Indians left in South C, it's full of Somalis nowadays.

The younger Indians are integrated with Africans. Go to the clubs in Westlands on a weekend and see for yourself. The children go to the same schools and people do business with each other. Like someone else said, they're a tiny minority and need the larger community for business.

Bro you just sound like a hater. Indians go everywhere and do their thing without being leeches on anyone, this is a secret to nobody. You just don't like these people in funny clothes and their funny gods and their funny accents doing good, it is what it is I get it.

I did check my history and here is the uncomfortable truth, Indians don't owe you shyt, maybe the white man does but good luck getting reimbursed from them. Indians had their own experiences with them and moved forward accordingly. They played with the cards they were dealt and that's that. You can be mad for a thousand years it won't change anything.

I'm not arguing with you about my life's experiences with them. I never said they owe us anything but they aren't our people and are not a 44th tribe. They are not welcome there. None of that implies they owe me anything idiot. They just don't belong and don't fit in.

Give me a fukking break.

Let's not act like the British didn't set up Indians to succeed in Kenya. They were treated as second class citizens while Kenyans were treated as third class citizens. They were allowed to own businesses, given seats in parliament, positions in civil and political society, (Police officers, judges, etc.) in the late 1890s. Native Kenyans didn't get those rights until sometime in the 50s and 60s.

Let's not act like they were poor unknowing accomplices of the British. They were in on the heist.

The inequality between Kenyan Indians and Black Kenyans is a remnant of colonialism structure that Indians were complicit in.

. First of all nepotism is ILLEGAL...

You don't know what you are talking about. This shyt is all theoretic to you. In real life it means having a black underclass in your own home. They should definitely have got the Idi Amin treatment.

It goes beyond just employing their own. It's about intolerance of natives. From how they treat them on their business premises to discimintion in employment. They were left holding positions of power post colonialism which they use to stay above the natives. Consolidate power and wealth amongst their own and are known for corruption. Stealing and embezzling money that then leaves the country with their children. It's cute that you want to chime in on the topic but not necessary, educate yourself first...

The British themselves set up a system where they were on top the Indians below them and above the Blacks. To this day not much has changed even in the absence of the colonizers because these same Indians sit above the natives. Using nepotism to stay there and this is what you support. These people are not Kenyans.

Are you claiming Indians are above Kenyan political and business elite in the societal scale in Kenya? There's like a 100k Indians in Kenya. They're disproportionately well-off for historic reasons but you cannot seriously claim they run the country.

These TLR dudes put women of other races on a pedestal and Get their feelings hurt when they find out that group dooesnt date or intermarry with black people.

shyt is hilarious.

Like you'll never see them complain that Kikuyu women don't marry Luo men in large numbers.

I ask again, what does this mean in practical terms?

Yeah, people are free to marry whoever they want and they have a right to protect their lineage. Intermarriage is not necessary for integration.

So what you want them to do? Like I said they played the cards they were dealt, as anyone else would. Was packing up and returning to India a feasible option for these people? Do you want to expel them like amin did? I wouldn't judge you for that I just want to be clear.

I've never said they run the country breh.. they have a lot of power though for a minority.

The bytch spewing his sissy arse emotions over it is calling someone a female. Check your emotions at the door fakkit.

"always talking breezy, hurting mah feelings" fukk boy.

You talk like a white boy in black face...
"Mah feelings"?...
You foreign nikkas don't even realize how much y'all imitate white supremacist slang and rhetoric...
shyt is low-key hilarious...

They see themselves as Kenyan


Yes.

I thought Indians had a significant power, but actually, they do not. They have the steel sector on lock, but even that's slowly moving away from them. Politically, they have no power. Kenyans do. Someone earlier said they don't assimilate, and that just isn't true at all. They are woven into the society and treating kenyans 'bad' would not work in their favor because they are a small minority and would literally receive backlash. They have no power to be able to do such a thing unlike cacs in south africa who make up the police force. In Kenya, natives make up the police force, politics, judges, EVERYTHING. Indians wouldn't stand a chance if they tried to treat natives terrible, they don't have that kind of power. People mistake them having certain sectors on lock, as having power, that's not quite how it works. AAs could have telecom on-lock, but you best believe they'll have to pay kick backs to the govt and wouldn't be able to control or treat cacs wrong. That's how it was explained to me.

Maybe 1% actually assimilate and intermarriage is pretty much almost non existent. Someoone is feeding you pure lie.

They have been there for over half a century and only NOW are you seeing Indian kids who claim they are Kenyan.

I went to a Sikh grade school in Nairobi brehs. Those Indians kids did not even play with us during recess. They were just there doing their own thing.

When were you last in Kenya? For a start there're no Indians left in South C, it's full of Somalis nowadays.

The younger Indians are integrated with Africans. Go to the clubs in Westlands on a weekend and see for yourself. The children go to the same schools and people do business with each other. Like someone else said, they're a tiny minority and need the larger community for business.

I'm not xenophobic like some of the brehs in this thread, I highly doubt kicking out less than 1% of the population is going to improve anyone's life. I wanted to be clear about Indians complicity in the colonization of Kenya and its effects on the inequality between Indians and Black Kenyans today.

You were trying to make it like we were just being haters when we brought up these inconvenient truths.

Are you Indian breh? I sense a little salt.

 

[Guvnor]

Man when I saw that whites practicing IFA shyt.. and you could already see them deeboing it too

Facts,I mentioned it to white people and you should see their response. Instead of saying something like I know what my ancestors did was wrong but I want to heal that and I'm not like that or something most of them folks had the audacity to pretty much tell me it's too late, that they are already practicing it and that the religion called them. I mentioned this is a religion dealing with ancestors, how could you participate when your ancestors hated Africans lol. To me it just makes no sense.

 

[thatrapsfan]

Yeah, people are free to marry whoever they want and they have a right to protect their lineage. Intermarriage is not necessary for integration.

You are saying this because the same thing can be said about Somalis. I agree though, intermarriage isn't the only marker for how well a community is integrated. @mykey is right that South C is mainly Somali now and that almost all Kenyan Indians identify as Kenyan. That has been my experience as well.

They are insular though and the claims about their nepotism etc are well founded.
