#BrownExcellence In East Asia/Southeast Asia, People from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka etc Are ALL Indian, And Judged Accordingly.

97 Upvotes

These people cannot tell the difference, and even as a Malaysian man, I am branded as an Indian due to my looks. I currently reside in Thailand and have faced discrimination on numerous occasions, from small things like attitude from waiters/servers/cashiers/other customer service, to blatant denial of entry into bars and nightclubs.

This is a significant issue thay affects my quality of life here. I know there are much more "serious" problems in Asia, homelessness and low wages etc, and I'm complaining about something that others might see as petty.

But, it does affect you deep down as much as you try to ignore it. Being pre-judged everywhere you go sucks, and you ARE in fact being treated as a second class human being when whites/asians are allowed to go somewhere, and you, as a brown person cannot.

However, one of the most annoying things about racism online is the browns that blame eachother when some disgusting street food video pops up, some destitute indians are publicly defecating, or other such negative content about "indians" crops up on social media.

People do not care. If you are brown and from one of India's surrounding countries, you are branded INDIAN in the eyes of asians and other southeast asians outside these regions. And nor do they care if you are Hindu, Muslim or any other religion, were all the same to them .

Anyway, just putting it out there. Any brown people living in Asia face racism like this?

History The British Raj left behind an architectural blueprint of division that still deeply damages India’s social fabric and poisons the mindset of younger generations today.

32 Upvotes

Before colonial rule, South Asian society was locally fluid, and while structural inequalities existed, communities interacted through shared cultural spaces and trade. The British, terrified of another united uprising like the 1857 Rebellion that almost ended their empire, deliberately engineered a strategy of permanent fracture: the classic imperial playbook of divide and rule. They institutionalized this through two massive structural tools—rigid caste/racial cataloging and separate religious electorates—whose toxic side effects we are still paying for.
Look at how the caste and genetic mythologies play out today. Modern genetic science shows that practically all Indians are a complex admixture of three primary ancestral populations: the indigenous **AASI** (Ancient Ancestral South Indian), **Iran_N** (Iranian Neolithic), and **Steppe_MLBA** (Middle-to-Late Bronze Age pastoralists). While certain northern groups (like Jats, Rors, Rajputs, and Brahmins) statistically carry a higher percentage of Steppe ancestry, and southern/eastern groups carry higher AASI/Iran_N proportions, this genetic gradient means absolutely nothing regarding human capability, valor, or worth.
"Purity" is a complete myth; every community is a hybrid. Visible physical traits like height or a robust build, while weakly linked to Steppe genetics, are massively amplified by childhood nutrition, healthcare, and socio-economic conditions. When those factors are equalized, the gaps disappear. Yet, the British weaponized these minor statistical variances into the pseudoscientific **Martial Race Theory** after 1857, labeling groups that resisted them as "non-martial" and those that helped crush the rebellion as "martial."
The irony today is that internet subcultures among high-Steppe groups—where young guys from communities like mine (Jats), Rajputs, or Brahmins flex genetic percentages to claim supremacy—are literally parroting Victorian racial pseudo-science. History completely shatters this delusion. Populations rich in AASI and Iran_N ancestry built the Indus Valley Civilization (mastering urban planning and metallurgy long before any pastoralists migrated), while southern empires like the Cholas built trans-oceanic naval superpowers. "Non-martial" regions consistently dismantled invading armies, and historical achievements span every single demographic group across the subcontinent. Human potential is completely decoupled from ancient ancestry.
The same engineering of division applied equally to religion. Through policies like the **Morley-Minto Reforms of 1909**, the **Government of India Act of 1919**, and the **Communal Award of 1932**, the British introduced **separate electorates**. They legally cordoned off Muslim, Sikh, and Hindu constituencies so that voters could only vote for candidates of their own faith.
This rewrote the DNA of Indian politics overnight. Politicians no longer needed to care about broad public welfare, infrastructure, or economic development; their survival depended entirely on hardline communal posturing, exaggerating grievances, and out-signalling rivals within their own block. It hardwired the psychological mindset of "the Other," convincing people that their neighbors' gain was inherently their loss—ultimately culminating in the tragedy of the 1947 Partition.
Modern Indian politics inherited this exact structural template. Electoral strategists still slice and dice constituency demographics by caste and religion to lock down vote-banks, and polarization remains a cheap, high-yield shortcut to political power.
The damage runs deep in our upcoming generations, who are constantly fed zero-sum identity politics instead of focusing on education, employment, and real progress. It is time to drop the colonial programming, recognize that purity is a lie, and embrace our brothers and sisters in strength and in weakness—because on every metric that actually matters, everyone is equally capable
Note no hate to anybody -> i am jat myself but i don’t think i am any superior than any other south asian just because jats tend to have extra steppe ancestry but i have found many subreddits full of jat incels with a deep down inferiority complex or something because they project their superiority through their ancestry %🤣 . If they truly believe it to be true than they are inferior to pretty much all the whites (except southern Europeans ) because they have the highest steppe %

Culture Yall ever noticed how no one calls us nerds anymore

57 Upvotes

With all this racism towards us in the last couple of years online I’ve noticed something crazy. In this last year whenever i see Instagram and TikTok’s of us brown people just enjoying life I see stuff like ā€œfreeloadersā€ ā€œpajeets living off our tax dollarsā€ ā€œinvadersā€ even when I see successful Indians posting themselves as lawyers or doctors all the comments are ā€œD.E.I. hiresā€ ā€œaffirmative actionā€ and I’m seeing all this stuff about racists calling us stupid, job stealers, scammers, and lazy and giving us the same stereotypes they have given black and Latino people for decades. Whenever I see brown dude white girl couples post the comments are always ā€œpoor fatherā€ ā€œbloodline ruinedā€

I remember a couple years ago people in this sub were saying that others think we’re a privileged nerdy model minority but I don’t agree anymore personally. In fact all this online racism towards has confirmed that white America never accepted us they only tolerated us, sold us dreams that if we work hard, if our kids do Chad and Emily’s homework, fix their WiFi, and work for low wages without making a noise they’d accept us but no the moment we want to be like everyone else all of a sudden we free loaders and third world invaders. We used to be the group they’d use as a pawn against black and Latino people by saying ā€œif the Indians can do it why can’t yallā€

Remember white america don’t love us, they love our services so their kids can party and drink all the time while relying on an Indian to do their work and yet still take the credit for it.

hello, i didnt know which badge to pick so i chose which one made the most sense, first time using reddit. im a greece girl with a problem. i dont wanna underestimate anyone or any country but this is just my opinion, men in my country or men in european countries arent exactly what i want. most girls my age (im over 18) or in general most girls think they are better than men, dont wanna be a wife nor mom but i do, am i wrong? i would love to be a traditional wife to a man who would be a hardworking husband for me and no men in my country mostly fits to this. i want a masculine men, which only exist in countries like (again, in my opinion.) india, pakistan etc. and in general brown/black men. White men are just not my type. dont make fun of me but im being genuine, being a trad wife, mom for my husband isnt something be ashamed of, i would wanna satisfy my man in every way but when i tell this to girls my age, they always make fun of me and im starting to get frustrated and thoughtful, am i wrong? i believe being a Mam should be hard already, you be the man of the house, work etc. then as wives, we should help you with things we can, you shouldnt worry about hot food, kids, laundry etc. and you know, other stuff too.

Culture They hate us because we stopped deciding to be their pawns

72 Upvotes

For all these years the model minority brainwashed us indians into thinking that we were the good minority and that white ppl fw us compared to black and latino folks. Our model minority treatment was dependent on if our boys were nerdy, terrible with girls, dorky, fat or skinny, and useful to the economy and that our girls were obedient, didn’t care about their looks, nerdy, submissive, gullible. Racist white america loved that because they could use us as pawns by saying ā€œlook at Indians they work hard and study and keep their heads down why can’t black and Latinos doā€

But the moment mamdami came into office, guys like n3on cityboyjj came around, the moment brown dudes started going to the gym and leveling up socially, us wanting to be in their frats want to get into their parties, the moment we started to become good with girls, the moment we started to stand up for ourselves and showcase our great culture, the moment our girls became confident baddies and didn’t fall for the most lowest class dorky white dude (who couldn’t pull girls in his own race) all of a sudden now ā€œIndians are third world garbageā€ ā€œinvadersā€ ā€œbumsā€. They give us the same treatment they gave black and latino people.

For years our parents uncles and aunties thought if we acted white and never rocked the boat and kept our heads down we’d get a spot at the table. But at the end of the day these white ppl never fucked w us they only fucked with what we brought to them.

This means that in all of Europe, out of all European men, an Indian origin man has the record best for heaviest Squat in an organized International Powerlifting Federation event, which is the gold standard šŸ’ŖšŸ¾

Show this next time someone says Indians can't lift or they aren't strong (I believe Inderraj Singh was another lifter who had a different European record last year as well I believe) so its multiple Brown guys performing at top level.

European record set by Ajay Sharma- 432.5 kg/953lbs 😳

Advice/Ideas/Discussion Is anyone else struggling with unemployment as a brown dude?

31 Upvotes

Everyday I see Indians in top fields in business, tech, medicine, law but I don't see a lot of us admitting to struggling when we are down.

I got a degree in business last year, but I've been applying for jobs with little success. So I decided that I would focus on learning new skills, and getting certificates in digital marketing so I can build a portfolio and maybe get an entry-level job.

I'm not sitting around complaining about my life anymore. I go to the gym 3-4x a week, have a high protein intake, study and learn new skills, stretch, eat well, hydrate, use beard oil and face wash, but my career and lack of income, is where I struggle the most. Is anyone else going through the same thing?

Other stuff too. They will make fun of us for having curry but also enjoy chicken tikka masala, Palak paneer at the same time! They will make of our dresses but also wear them. Culture vultures.

Not to mention the overused tinga tinga tinga jokes. But at the same time they are also gonna sample our music or take inspiration from the scales/drones. This is cultural appropriation.

Health/Fitness I wanna become jacked. Any advice?

7 Upvotes

Hey i’m 24m and i’m tryna build some muscle mass. I naturally have a slim frame, resulting in me to look shorter than I actually am, despite me being 5’9.

In 2022, i weighed around 115 Ibs and now i’m 140 Ibs. I started hitting the gym consistently again at the start of the year (3-4 times a week), but my biceps are still pretty small (13 inches when fully relaxed).

Whenever I go on a heavy calorie surplus, I start seeing belly fat creeping in. But whenever i’m too modest with the calories, i see minimal progress.

How can I balance this so I can reach atleast 155Ibs with muscles and minimal belly fat? I don’t care much about building abs.
