    I’m from the NE part of india. There are more ST people in here, most of my ST friends are richer than me. They usually have Jordans and 2-3 iPhones (iPhones are expensive in india) but they enjoy the perks of freebies and affirmative actions while earning more than the average indian

    It’s kinda amazing how you sound like my boomer American grandparents complaining about affirmative action because my students had AirPods.

    Reactionary lazy hatred is truly a universal language.

    Nah, I know it’s not all rural “marrying little girls to frogs for rain” stuff. But I also know it is still an issue in the cities, and like white folks in America, you get extremely upset and insecure at the idea that other people maybe deserve a fair share of the pie.

      Well I won’t say I hate those people in general but I do hate the ones who aren’t thankful for it. So yeah, hatred is there and I’m a human

      That was the storyline for freakin cartoon my sis used to watch. I didn’t know if someone recreated it in reality. Well I can’t say I’m shocked

      Yeah I mean white people in America and general category people in India are shown as the privileged group in their respective countries so usually the govt don’t give them much in return. And both the groups starts hating it.

      Now the difference which comes here is the White Americans just stay in their country because America is still far ahead in case of development and living standards. But in India, those people usually migrate to some other countries because the parts of India where you can live like a King (the new cities with hundreds of apartments and luxury malls) doesn’t get them the “worth it” feeling which they get by staying in Airbnbs in some EU country so eventually they get out of the whole subcontinent
