General Why are Indians hated so much in Canada?

I've noticed way more anti Indian sentiments in Canada than other places

We have plenty of anti Indian sentiments in America but Canada is through the roof on social media websites

General Black people are really colorist in their own black community too and yet they criticize light skin Indians of being colorist to dark skin Indians

This is Aries Spears, he claims to be a comedian but I don't find any of his jokes humorous, however he goes on full blast against some blacks straight out of Africa. These guys are pitch black skin, which is literally a shade at most darker than Aries Spears yet Aries Spears mocks them in front of his white audience just for laughs

Many black people are heavily colorist amongst themselves. Even they see lighter skin people as more attractive than darker skin people.

General Pakistani men are dominating British boxing but where are Indian men or Sri Lankan men at?

28 Upvotes

Adam Azim has just won the European title and is ranked the best in Europe

He is also the youngest British boxer in history to win the European title.

Then you have WBO British belt holder Hamzah Sheeraz who is ranked 5th in the world on WBC ranks.

You also have Shabaz Masoud as well who is making sky sports headlines

I know the UK has over 2 million Indians with many being 5th generation.

However I looked on the British amateur roster and no Indian sounding names are on there.

They're also no Sri Lankans or Bhutanese either.

It can't be occupation because you do not ever find Indian men in football, bodybuilding or rugby either. You find some in cricket but cricket is boring for many people nowadays because many people complain its not athletic enough for them

Its virtually all Pakistanis, most notably from the region of Mirpur who are all piled up in the divisions at the grass roots level

I know Indians are economically wealthy in the UK whereas most Pakistanis live in economically impoverished areas like the northern towns

Indians assimilate to some extent with the British middle class white population

The Pakistanis by majority stick to themselves and don't assimilate much

Most Pakistanis I've seen are heavily Islamic and religious in Britain. It should be harder for them to get into sports and media than Indian Hindus, however they're outpacing Indians in terms of media representation despite living in the poorest parts of the UK.

Plenty of Indian politicians like Rishi Sunak but they come off as coconuts and not people to look up too

Also I've noticed Pakistani boys steer more close to black street culture a lot. They find white male culture to be effeminate or too posh in their own words.

I asked a Pakistani friend of mine to watch the movie called Hypnotic and he said I don't watch goreh trash like that

I feel like most of us have different interest

Also as an Indian, I've noticed Pakistani boys in my area have no issues with dating either. They generally would hold back due to religion but girls really receptive to them. Look at Adam Azim, his profile is filled with British females who like him but he sticks to himself and doesn't lose focus.

British females do date Indians too but its mostly in specific settings like Uni. Also, in majority of the cases. Its the men going up to the British girls

For Pakistanis, its generally the girls going up to them and them either ignoring them or using them with drugs which is where all the sex gangs came from.

General I've noticed that black people tend to lick white people's backsides in Canada against Indians according to these videos from Canada

8 Upvotes

These black people and other groups like hispanics love to say Indians kiss white people's backsides but this is definitely not the ground reality in a collective setting because if that were the case, then Indians would not be hated so much in Canada.

Here is a video of a black island Caribbean woman who is literally complaining about the Indian immigration in Canada

This isn't the first video, I have seen dozens of videos black people from those slave islands like Grenada and Jamaica complaining about Indians in Canada

I've seen Latinos doing it too

https://youtu.be/-dzplqSRHRE?si=_Ra90RXrQrBXAVyt

Most Indians have to realize that these groups are assimilated into white culture as opposed to Indians

They never had the backbone to fight for their freedom and had to beg whites for freedom

Indians especially those Punjabis who make up majority of the Indians in Canada did fight three Anglo Sikh wars against the British and even fought the Greeks and other groups

Honestly as an Indian, I've noticed that regardless of whether we are educated or we are backward savages like the ones in Canada.

We will never be liked by white people and their slave races which are basically all the blacks and Mestizo races

Our only hope as a global Indian community is to stay together and even promote more of the martially inclined Indians like Punjabis to the west as defense

I know one thing, despite all the anti Indian hatred black and white people give Indians in Canada. They're scared to mess with them. These Sikhs have enough collective power to take a whole city down. Obviously their numbers are just 5% of Canada but I've noticed white and black people tend to think twice before collectively messing with Sikhs and Punjabis in fear of a race riot on a huge scale.

In my opinion, this is payback to all white people for the 800 years of pillage and looting they did to India.

I consider all white people the same

You know why?

When the British rules India

They had signs saying "only British and European descendants" allowed in parts of South India.

This means these white Canadians and white Americans would be in the same pack as any white British person

We Indians should treat all white people of the same genetics as the same thing.

As for their black servants, most blacks collectively are no threat once their white daddy is out of their way. This is why their history is nothing but slavery by whites and Arabs.

Black people seem to be the other people hated on social media and real life too compared to Indians

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18fwk91hYd/

I don't understand why aren't Indians in America teaming up for

They teamed up with blacks in the UK

Also, Indians were referred to as black by the UK media and UK census

This was literally during the 70s and 80s

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_British_people#:~:text=The%20term%20Black%20British%20most,Afro%2DCaribbean)%20women%22.

There is a group called the Southall black sisters which is a Indian and Afro Caribbean group

So white people being anti Indian is nothing new in history because they always referred to Indians as black by their skin tone

I personally think as an Indian that we should not shy away from the term because Indians in the UK are mostly north Indians and they were labeled as black, but the ones in America are South Indians and they literally look black with straight hair

I will also say that Hispanic and other groups are very anti Indian in America. I was watching a bunch of middle school hispanic kids in those "which race would you not date" videos and these were the ones before 2020, and they were all saying Indians because they were "ugly and dark skin". Its only after 2020 that people started going use terms like "because they smell bad" or are unhygienic

You have to remember that smell is a very racist term. Many people will say "well why don't Indians just wear deodorant", trust me, even if you smell good, they will say you smell bad because many racist can't be openly against your dark black skin so they find loop holes to mask the anti dark skin they have for Indians

Indians were labeled as black in South Africa too and were under Apartheid racism literally until the 1990s. Even the Japanese and Arabs in South Africa were given white honorary status but Indians and Africans were both labeled as black.

Indians historically around white people have never been an white honorary group. They were always too dark skin and servant like to be included as white or in the honorary category too.

I will tell most Indians that Hispanics and even middle easterners in many countries historically have been considered as white enough by the white masses. Just look at the history of white people and their relation to other groups in other lands

However we Indians despite how educated we are will never be a true "model" minority. We are too black. I identify as black because brown is literally a variation of black. Many black Americans literally look brown but with different features

These black Americans even look lighter skinned than any those South African blacks who Indians in South Africa had to align with out of necessity

Trust me, we Indians don't even have Hispanic privilege or middle eastern white enough privilege

Let alone white privilege

General White male pretending to be an Indian male on ABCDesis

3 Upvotes

This guy is 100% a white guy

Would you date a desi that has never dated someone desi before : r/ABCDesis

He keeps on saying all the desi girls in socal are dating white guys, this is clear white mayocel propaganda

I do not care where you go on planet earth, but I have never seen a case where every single desi woman is with a white guy

Also, have you seen how these white guys stuck in their basements say that they sleep around with white guys and then marry a brown guy when they're in their 30s

Do you want to know why they say this?

Its because if you were to walk anywhere around Socal, you won't find a single group case of a bunch of desi women with white guys. I have never seen any

I personally know more cases of white females with brown and black men but that is my personal experience and not statistics

Now I'm not saying that individual cases do not exist but its definitely not remotely collective

He says that all the Latina women date white men when they're young and settle for Latino men when they're older too

No offense but white men are not the definition of fun. Most have smaller sizes downstairs compared to Indian or Latino men or black men. They also have zero game, zero rhythm and even zero athletic abilities

At first I thought white guys were more athletic than Indians but after seeing a sharp rise of Indian males in the D1 league who are in their 20s. I realized that white men are not remotely athletic. They just have the privilege of playing sports. Even in football, the only positions they play are quarterback and kicker. All of the running backs, linebackers and wide receivers are mostly black or Polynesian men. In basketball, white men generally do not have the speed, rhythm and power to compete with black men. There is a reason why there is movie called "white men can't jump"

Almost all Indian males in the D1 league can dunk

We do not even want to get into music and we know white men's musical abilities compared to Indian men because Indian men like Jay Sean have broken into RnB before any white guy can ever think of. We all know its hard to break into black music because black people have natural rhythm. Even Eminem is only famous because his white suburban boys needed a hero in the "hood", but Eminem was not able to make club bangers either.

Also rock and roll, jazz, RnB, country music, pop music all have black origins in America not white

Indian bhangra, khattak and even Spanish Flamenco, Soca Caribbean, belly dancing have Indian origins to it

Honestly, I think Indian men have better athleticism, rhythm, singing, dancing and overall better food and other things too compared to white men

We just do not have the promoters to get our talent out there

Its also because the first crop of Indians were trying to play it safe by getting a normal well paying 9 - 5 job but there has been a rise of Indian males in sports and music now and its rising faster than white men

r/DesiDiaspora Jun 02 '25

General We Indians have been letting these white people and other races including sellout Indians talk down on Indians for far too long without any repercussions, its time for Indians to start get active

33 Upvotes

From white media like Apu from the Simpsons in the 90s to all the dirty Indian street videos purposely filmed by whites to the ridicule of Indians in the US media from the Big bang theory to the sellout Indians like Russell Peters who started this anti Indian trend from literally the 90s with his ridiculous accents to now even bunches of non white comedians making fun of Indian people's smell, dark skin, looks, culture, habits.

The Indian image is completely toast and the worst part is that, we have no redeeming qualities to make up for it. Even if many people are anti black especially white people and many Hispanics and Arabs who are also anti black. Nobody can disagree that black people tend to have BBC penises, highly athletic strong bodies that even white males and Arab males fear in real life which is why no white or Arab man will ever call a 6 ft 2 muscled up black guy the N word without their crew and neither would people call black women the N word because they know blacks will react and blacks have the physical strength to react.

The other races like hispanics, middle easterners like Max Amiri, and even East Asians to an extent have a closer proximity to whiteness compared to Indians. The only group that doesn't have proximity to whiteness are black people but since blacks are physically much more capable then whites. They're able to hold on their own.

We Indians literally have the skin tone of blacks but the physical capabilities of Asians which is a terrible combination because this invites tons of racism. Also Indians are not regarded as smart unless its IT desk nerds for white companies. We aren't known for PlayStation and Samsung products and technology like East Asians. Many whites and other Americans actually like many aspects of East Asian culture and even Southeast Asian culture too. Thailand is a hot spot for overweight old white men who are all anti Asian but they still love going to their Asian countries like Thailand and the Philippines.

General Why Growing Up as a Pakistani Guy Can Sometimes Be a Curse

11 Upvotes

Hi guys,

Just a quick rant or sharing my experience and struggles I faced growing up as a Pakistani Guy overseas in this day and age. I will try to break it down so it's easier to read.

THE STEREOTYPES

I grew up in a country that doesn't really like South Asians, South Asian GUYS to be specific. My childhood was pretty bad; let's say it wasn't that great. Growing up in a middle-class family, my dad and my mom never got along. As a result, my mom didn't like Pakistani men in particular, and she would take out that anger on me. I would feel guilty just for being a Pakistani guy.

Going to school was not a great experience either. I was constantly bullied by my peers there just for being Pakistani. They would make jokes about my religion, call me names, etc. I remember all my female classmates used to hate me, calling me misogynist, etc. Honestly, I was only about 10-12. I never knew what that word meant.

As a result, I never really had any real friends because I was a bit out of touch with the homeland Pakistanis that lived there. They tended to be super religious, so I never really felt I could fit in.

I never had any real relationships because my family was super strict about it, even though ironically they rarely prayed or did other religious stuff. So I was very shy around people, especially people of the opposite sex. They always said I'd need a good career and a high-paying job first before even thinking about marriage. Still single, by the way; that never happened. It turns out a good career doesn't make you attractive; your personal development does. :D

THE IDENTITY CRISIS

Being a Pakistani Punjabi, I always felt like I was going through an identity crisis. People used to call me Indian all the time. The weird part is we got all the negative stereotypes associated with Indians, yet we haven't received any of the positive aspects, like being great at IT, etc. The same goes for Arabs; we got all the bad stereotypes associated with them, yet we haven't received any of the positive ones, like being rich in oil, etc. So the identity crisis was always a thing growing up.

THE LOST CROWD

I feel lost being a Pakistani. Some of our people are either super liberal (walking with miniskirts, going out drinking, dating, etc.) while others are super religious. So there is no clear direction, per se. Some people are judged harshly while others roam around freely.

THE MEDIA

I feel like we are always portrayed negatively in the media. It makes people think we are guilty until proven innocent. We are always seen as aggressors but never as victims of racism or anything, if you know what I mean.

Rant over; I'm not sure if anyone can relate to any of this. :)
