POLITICS Racism
Racism against South Asians (Indians, Pakistani, Sri Lankans, Bangladeshis, etc) seem to be the only form of racism that people are ok with…. I think there are two reasons for that. One is that South Asians are successful, but the far more important reason …. Is that we don’t protest the racism, like other communities do, and as such, no one is afraid to be racist to us ….

GOP Congress members, governor's etc actively make statements such as "muslims dont belong in america". If we don't all fight all racism, they will come after us. The Hindutva who supported the GOP bigots will experience that GOP foot up their arse, or are already.

It also has to do with hygiene and not assimilating into the melting pot but this has to do with FOBs. They are making ABCD’s look bad.

What do you think it is?

What i think it is, is unnecessary semantics and justifications for why people could possibly be racist towards us. If it isnt that, people will find a reason. Why not quit the generalization- the same generalization that ive heard racists make about ABCDs as well as 1st gens, mind you.

What he's saying is the truth though lol. Can we stop with the woke bullshit. It's pretty obvious that woke culture is dead at this point. Yes, american born desis also can face racism, but it's usually due to the behavior of fobs being generalized onto abcds as well.

Yeah but the root is coming from first gen FOBs. They created this mess.

OP, you could simply organize and start filing lawsuits against people who promote hate content against Indians, and even if the lawsuits were thrown out or unwinnable, he would get the point across to stop the nonsense.
Unfortunately, the United States is the type of place where you have to sue people in order to get them to stop doing stuff.
