Could be Pakistani. The most Indian-hating person I ever met was a Pakistani guy.
Hahahaha that’s akin to “Israelites and Palestinians have been in a bit of a disagreement for a few years now.”
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.

Anon actually so racist can’t tell Indians apart from Pakistanis
? They actually spent a lot of time looking over census data to see where the majorities were. That’s why some of the lines are so weird.
You’re misunderstanding the issue. The British tried to fix certain issues that really didn’t need fixing. To their credit they did abolish a few insane practices, but the partition was never gonna be a good thing.
I’m not a historian. I’m just recounting stuff I’ve been taught.
disagree. see Radcliffe Line and its implementation.
spending five weeks to decide fate of 80 million people without even visiting the place in person isn’t spending “a lot of time.”
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 Latin American people see themselves as white and would get very offended if you suggest otherwise
Edit: Sorry I had no idea latinx was offensive
They’d certainly get offended if someone referred to them as “latinx”, lol
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.
Fun fact; English used to have three genders --masculine, feminine and neuter-- like most of the other Germanic languages, but they got stripped out over the years for historical reasons having to do with the Danelaw and the Norman conquest and are gone by the time of filthy old Chaucer.
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.
I mean, we’re on Lemmy, every American here hates America
I feel like this phenomenon should have a catchy name, like: “No one hates Scotsmen more than Scotsmen.”
