not indian but friends with a bunch of indian dudes and i have the same observation. actually i never even heard of this stereotype until now but its completely unsurprising it exists because why wouldnt white people be racist about stuff like that

The brown/black man lusting after white woman and therefore being a predator that needs to be vanquished- is an old ass trope since the beginnings of racism.

short: racisme

long: ‘vulnerability’ or ‘violation’ of white women is a fundamental discourse in the justification for colonial domination, because these were patriarchal societies that fabricated these tropes. it’s still around through cultural inertia and remaining colonial relationships.

there was a poc subreddit that i tried radicalizing for a while and there was a self proclaimed indian dude who kept writing /thathappened fanfics about his sexual interactions with white women and how much he hated italian women

i tried telling him that the sub was not the right place for erotica and he wrote me a numbered manifesto about how cucked i was and one of the points was a legit raceplay humiliation scene

up until that point i had just taken his word for being indian but after that i figured it was 50/50 indian vs white larper
