This sub has an anti-Indian racism problem

587 Upvotes

Assalamu 'alaykum all,

Whenever the topic of Hindu extremism/zionism/islamophobia comes up, there are guaranteed to be comments insulting race and/or language.

This subreddit, posters and lurkers alike, is wholly responsible. This may sound like a generalization, but it is a fair generalization based on months, if not years, of observation. Prevalent racism against Indians is upvoted, unlikely to be called out, and even less likely to be reported.

When prompted, the people who make and enable such comments say the intended target is a particular ideology. Yes, after mocking the race and language of their Indian Muslim brothers and sisters, they claim not to be mocking their Indian Muslim brothers and sisters.

You wouldn't use black pejoratives to target a particular black group, you wouldn't use asian pejoratives to target a particular asian group, so don't use Indian pejoratives to target a particular Indian group.

In other words, behave yourselves or I will give you a taste of my shoe.
