Could be Pakistani. The most Indian-hating person I ever met was a Pakistani guy.
India and Pakistan have a bit of a history
Understatement of the century ☝️
Hahahaha that’s akin to “Israelites and Palestinians have been in a bit of a disagreement for a few years now.”
They haven't always seen eye to eye, let's put it that way
Honestly it's either or. I knew a couple of guys back in uni, one Indian the other Pakistani and they were really tight. Maybe it's just the narrow minded bigots who blindly hate another because of political history rather than treat them as an individual.
Also knew an Israeli and a Palestinian (weren't tight as such but were friendly with each other).
Honestly, it's a love-hate relationship. There's nobody they hate more than the other, at the same time there's nobody who understands them better than the other.
Even then, the hate is mostly political. It's politically beneficial to both countries to keep the hate flowing.

Anon actually so racist can't tell Indians apart from Pakistanis
I dont think that applies only to racist people
I used to work with this lifted-truck literally red-necked red neck. He kept going on about how hot his girl was, and how white she was.
One day he shows me her picture, and she was indeed a very hot dark skinned Latina. Some people are just in denial.
A lot of Latin American people see themselves as white and would get very offended if you suggest otherwise
Edit: Sorry I had no idea latinx was offensive
They'd certainly get offended if someone referred to them as "latinx", lol
How are people still saying that unironically?
Having had this conversation with literally 300+ hispanic people, never once has a single one had a single positive thought about "latinx". Gendered nouns is literally a large part of their language.
Fun fact; English used to have three genders --masculine, feminine and neuter-- like most of the other Germanic languages, but they got stripped out over the years for historical reasons having to do with the Danelaw and the Norman conquest and are gone by the time of filthy old Chaucer.
Yea the whole thing started and is mostly used by a fringe people who are going a tad too far with political correctness.
Mind you, I'm fine with political correctness and I'm left leaning but sometimes you can go to far.
But if someone wants to be referred to by those terms then be my guest.
Genered nouns is the backbone of so many goddamn languages. The people being offended by it are the ones that don't speak that tongue.
I lot of Latinos are white, but she was not. Of course to a racist like this guy, no Latino is really white.
Please stop using "latinx".
Only Americans seem to draw a distinction between Spanish descendents other European descendents. Presumably because they're poor and on the wrong side of a line someone drew on a map.
Antonio Banderas was bemused when he was labelled a "person of colour".
I mean, we're on Lemmy, every American here hates America
I don't, but I'm not very popular around here either. My country is far from ideal, but I still mostly like it.
I feel like this phenomenon should have a catchy name, like: "No one hates Scotsmen more than Scotsmen."
Damn Scots! They ruined Scotland!
It's called "uncle ruckus" In my circles.
Omg, I forgot about that character 😅
I have an Asian buddy that rages over how bad Asian drivers are and even gives them the fingers pulling his eyes even more closed move while passing them. I don't go anywhere in a car with him anymore... Come to think of it I rarely see him now...
Is it because you're pulling your eyes closed?
no, they're just like that
Sounds like a great guy lmao
How does anon know they aren't from Bangladesh or Nepal or something?
It's all India, mate
All part of Akhand Bharat.
Are you talking about North- and East-India?
Or possibly Pakistani. That whole hate your neighbour thing.
Have you met Americans?

It's like Americans on lemmy!
Familiarity breeds contempt
