  • Okay, I don't have a lot of confidence in this, but I assume the average American is actually pro-Israel? At least the swing "independent" voters?

    Like I know young people are pro-Palestine but those people probably wouldn't vote for Trump in any case and probably live in strongly blue states?

  • India moves to implement controversial citizenship bill that excludes Muslims

  • I don't know what you are even arguing. My point is India is democratic and secular despite being flawed. Do you not agree with that? If you don't agree with that, why are you worried about the word "secular" being removed? How does it matter anyway?

    Your incident counting means nothing - India has 1.4B people. Obviously you can find more cases LMAO.

    My point is India is democratic and secular - and that's an achievement in South Asia (that's why compared to Pakistan). And that has made it more developed. So democracy and secularism are good ideals to fight for.

    If India is not better off than Pakistan and Bangladesh, might as well let BJP make it non secular like them? Why bother fighting it?

  • Right, so went from "no persecution" to "police addressed it". Cool cool. Can you point me to perpetrators of the genocide being punished?

  • no refugees

    Not true - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_immigration_to_India

    fall to the Hindu majority who would nationilze around their identity and oppress everyone else which is exactly what happend

    It's not even close to that. For sure there needs to be big improvements in minority rights but it's not even close to what Pakistan (and Bangladesh) are. India is heavily flawed but still has a functional democracy and secular state while not a single PM in Pakistan has completed a full term. Lol like they are not even comparable. If anything, India is an achievement of secularism and a good example of why you should separate the church and state.

    just gives credit for Pakistan's purpose

    Now that is a circular argument because the nationalists say "look at Pakistan and Bangladesh, Muslims got that, why aren't we getting one?". So creation of Pakistan is what gives credit to their argument.

    For its purpose of avoiding being an oppressed minority, it succeded.

    Did they? Do Pakistani Muslims lead better life than Indian Muslims?

  • aren't facing any persecution

    Except the genocide, lynching etc. am I right? LMAO

  • India moves to implement controversial citizenship bill that excludes Muslims

    Jump

  • How exactly?

    They claim that they are doing this to help non-muslim refugees fleeing places like Pakistan. Their claim is that they can't accommodate all refugees so the first preference is for non-muslims being persecuted.

    If Pakistan didn't exist, this persecution wouldn't be there?

  • Ex-Activision CEO Bobby Kotick looks to buy TikTok amid shutdown fears - Dexerto

  • I don't understand why this comment is inevitably under every Tiktok thread. Everyone knows Big Tech spies for the govt especially the lawmakers, precisely why they don't want a hostile foreign govt doing it.

    China knows this too - that's why FB, Google etc are banned there. So what's your point?

    Jump

  • Is that joke that on a cosmic level, it's mostly hydrogen and helium (?) so others get ignored, like how genders other than the usual 2 get ignored? If so, that's so smart and funny, wow.

    Or is it something else that I'm not getting?

  • that it's a cultural issue

    So when white people say racist things, it's a one off shithead person. But when brown people do crimes, it must be in their culture, got it.

    We can get #NotAllIndians trending

    How about we don't make it about their skin color or "culture" so that we wouldn't have to do?

    By your arguments you're saying article like this are bullshit hysteria with zero basis in reality?

    Not bullshit, never claimed that. Only thing I'm saying is that violence against women is a problem everywhere, not special about Indians. And making it about them is unhelpful and harmful.

    That take is super chill and not victim blamey at all. I mean, these "victims" were probably asking for it. Got it

    Oof damn talk about putting words in my mouth. Crazy that you want to die on this hill so bad and all based on "the data is wrong" and "my friends said they were sketchy". Since you are resorting to things I didn't say to attack me, I've realized that this is a waste of time. Good luck - make sure to practice your bigotry in silence, though - unlike this shithead professor but like thousands of professors who are not shithead enough to put it in writing. That will definitely help everyone.

  • I explicitly said it was not you but propaganda lol.

    femme friends who have had sketchy encounters in South Asia

    So we went from stats to "trust me cos my friends told me". Let me guess, your friends also clutch their pearls around sketchy (read "anyone who is not pure white") people?

    who is not white

    Cannot think of why someone who is not white would do such mental gymnastics to defend blatant racism. At best it does not help and worst leads to things like this - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/mar/09/german-professor-rebuked-for-discrimination-over-indias-problem

  • Are you saying US LEOs are on top of their game when it comes to handling cases? Or that women in the US do not feel repercussions for reporting rape cases?

    According to those numbers, US has ~73x more. So even if one in 73 is reported, it will match the US. In the end, all you have is that brown people = rapists, terrorists etc. Not saying it's you, it's the decades of racist propaganda.

    Remember, transphobia with a feminist slant is still transphobic. Racism with feminist slant is still racist.
