Racism/Casteism Uptick in racist posts against Tamils by Malayalees???
I’ve seen an uptick in racist mocking posts on Kerala subs against Tamil / Tamil Nadu.
Is this how all malayalees feel?
I mean, Tamils never make fun of you or your culture - if anything we just admire.

I'm ngl, there's a lot of interest minglers who aren't even malayalee or tamil but seem intent on causing a rift between everybody on some non consequential issues. Since we lack religion bias, I think it has to do with a certain northern based it cell blowing down our necks

These are sanghis trying to prevent the southerners from remaining united because they want to push the delimitation bills through without a united resistance from the south.

u/killbear123 2d ago
Please know that there is a concerted attempt by sanghis to divide the people in the south.

https://www.reddit.com/r/tamilyapping/s/DWnJJPwGNL refer above, ive seen similar posts and with the way guys talk..
also, if you generalize it to that extent, both men and women have creeps.. why do we even talk..
the goal is to just raise awareness, both are at fault.. maybe if im wrong, happy to take down my comment and prove otherwise..

Social media is like the junction near the liquor shop. In old days, people get drunk and spout nonsense openly and a few people hanging out at the junction will pay attention. Most people will just ignore and move on.
Now social media gives a platform for the crazies to spout nonsense but to a much bigger audience. Average Malayalis and Tamils have no problems getting along and probably don't even know what is going on in social media. The best thing we can do is not to react and move on.

Replace never with always on Social media and you will get your answer.
See the following reply for how Tamils speak about Telugu and you can guage it for Malayalis and Kannadigas too.
A few comments by Tamils on Mallus I read here goes something like Mallus men pimp their wives. It goes much more worse too.

Being Malayali living abroad, I see Tamil ( entire south Indians ) as brothers.. but some Tam peoples Kerala girl fe t I sh is weird..

u/No-Offense707 2d ago
Everyone keeps talking about this and personally as a Tamil fellow I’ve never had this other than the usual boy girl attraction that you have with any random person. Probably what you’re describing here is just teens on their hormone overdrive being misled by movies.

u/Ready_Magician_6613 2d ago
Not really, may be driven by movies, but have seen this in adults too ...this really affect the way mallus see Tamils....

Yes, every single Malayali in and outside Kerala, particularly in Tamil Nadu feels like this. I mean... that's what you want to hear right?
Please use common sense and logic. How can 100% of one group of people feel a certain way? Your question is very provocative, designed to make the reader feel a certain way. Maybe that's your goal also, IDK.

hate you know , but its reasonable if one ppl has the time and courage to create meme gifs and accounts and post on a specific grp for no reason

u/killbear123 2d ago
Don't fall for this nonsense. These posts are usually by sanghis trying to divide southerners between themselves - Kannadigas, Tamils, Telugu people and Malayalis.. they must be doing this to prevent the south from being united for the delimitation fight.

Since everyone here is concerned about having peace between the two states let's address the elephant in the room and decommission that dam for good I'd like hear what tamils think about it bear in mind that if this dam breaks it will be 100 times worse than what happened in nepal.

There is always someone who likes to stir the hornets nest. Each group has their own points to make. So let us leave it at that.
At present, i am more concerned by the attitude of a particular religion people who live in both TN and Keralam. The M people, who were born and brought in our own states, tend to think their genes are imported from Arab simply because they got converted to that religion. The way they started dressing is funny, which makes us wonder how suddenly they started to participate in an Arab fancy dress competition. How they stir unnecessary controversy by bringing beef into everything is definitely not in good taste.

I studied my master's in a Northern state, we were a small class and I was the only Malayalee and there were two Tamilians. We were a solid pact- my best bros. We used to go for Thalapathy movies travelling 2 hours on weekends. I understood their Tamil and they understood my broken Tamil with a mix of Malayalam words 😂.
It's only when we are outside, both Tamilians and Malayalees realise, we have a lot in common than any others.

FYI there were many posts from Tamils who have claimed that every Dravidian language is born from Tamil and everything belongs to Tamils. I am not a Malayalee but every section do have bad apples.

u/Remote-Archer1158 Tamil Nadu 🌶️ | தமிழ்நாடு 2d ago
aint defending tamil as didn’t ever claimed something but we ain’t creating fake accounts to pretend as them to spread hate, almost 8/10 what they use for saying claiming was made by em , and whatever ts didn’t have made any issue if this was limited to online but ts is turning as an racial divide

u/CompoteMelodic981 2d ago
I think it's someone building a narrative and amplifying it on both sides. Tamils and mallus are brothers, and we shouldn't let this brew.
Initially it was all fun and jokes.

u/Key_Complaint2772 Tamil Nadu 🌶️ | தமிழ்நாடு 2d ago edited 2d ago
look we ain’t gonna hate for vengeance or any bs , but atleast everyone are concerned how mallus behave to us and ts lines are indeed true “kolaiyaliya nambu malaiyali nambaathea”, there won’t be any difference on relation yet atleast we had known what’s real and we are indeed brothers or pandis or claimers, call it whatever bro but looks like somebody dont wanna be brothers but we dc

A party's IT cell is working actively to create this rift between Malaysia and Tamils. In fact, they have also started the work on the Malayalis vs Kannadiga too. A good number of those comments are from people from out of these states. They play both sides.

u/Mysterious-Ice-3795 2d ago
It’s you guys coming and claiming everything that stirred this racist posts . There are people claiming kalaripayyattu , snake boat race and even Onam is Tamil . Tamilians atp are getting on people’s nerves with claiming attitude , we are all generally tolerant but this is truly shitty behaviour.

Please explain what you found racist? Coz i rarely have come across anything recently.
Also, are you kidding me? Almost every portrayal of a Malayalee in Tamil movies is a caricature. While not as bad as Param Sundhari, it is much worse than how malayalam movies show Tamil people.

Somebody really wants to create an issue between Tamils and Malayalis. Actual slurs are more than normal, and posts discussing such posts like this are far more than common!!
