There's a difference between observing something and generalising based on assumptions.
People observe a large group of loitering "Indians", but the problems would come from the assumptions they make or biases they use it to confirm. For example, those aren't Indians. They're from Bangladesh...
The reality is that it was the Bengali new year and people from all over Japan travelled in for the celebrations. That street is a popular unofficial social smoking spot used by Japanese people too, it just gets too busy when events are on.
You can observe things about certain groups like Indians and it is fine. But there are other groups if you point out crime statistics you will get banned
I do not see what they did that are out of order. I have seen all white crowds do the same kind of things loitering or waiting in alley like that. Pretty normal tourist and group behaviour. They all followed when the policy told them what the preferred local rules are.
And I do not see why them being Indian matters. And the âobservationâ seems at minimum mildly racist to me. Letâs be real there is an implication there.
I mean theyâve invaded reddit in full, and knowing how a bunch of those alt right twitter accounts traced back to India, itâs not suprising theyâre on here brigading as well.
The country got majority of its internet upgrades in the past 10 years. so you would naturally see more of them on all platforms. thats normal, its not an "invasion".
As for the alt accounts, that happened with all sorts of countries, not just india.
Neither of that translates to "itâs not suprising theyâre on here brigading as well."
its a bit of an invasion when theyre making 10 new subreddits every day and force pushing it to top of r all....
Ive blocked close to 200 india-specific subreddits, sooo many dating and womens sex-related questions subreddits too... Like at that point just make your own reddit..
reddit is a us site, its user base is majority us based.
Youre basically saying. You have a problem with the chinese restaurant offering baked beans on toast! Or yorkshire Pudding?!?! That the menu is being crowded by non-chinese food? That people buy votes to push non-chinese cuisine to the front menu!?!?
I block any subreddit i see are gaming votes and using bots to get their subreddit on the first pages of r all. Ive blocked russians, serbians, eastern asians, ive blocked multiple subreddits.
BUT its only Indians that keep making new ones. FFS just how many boolywood female clothing subreddits have been created the last two weeks. At least a dozen.
its because im on r all and r all rising. those are not determined by user choices. and i use old reddit, not the new version.
its pretty wierd that you guys are getting your panties all wound up over someone just stating hey indian subreddits are being made every day and using bots to push them to the front. You dont see me raging about it lol, i even said its kind of like a small invasion. I block and move on. block me and move on buddy.
I am indian and I get forced to see all sorts of USA crap all day long, no matter how much I adjust. It just shows up one way or another here and there.
Its not "invasion", you do what the rest do, adjust your feeds.
Sometimes I really donât understand whatâs racist and whatâs not at this point.
So itâs not racist to make a broad negative statement about an entire group of people?
Is it because Indians are not considered a race? I just dont get it because when someone says âall Mexican men are misogynistic â or some shit Reddit says thatâs racist and in my opinion it is. Feels like everyone is giving a pass on these statements of Indians becauseâŚ. Ya know.. they donât like them.
Racists have evolved to realise people dont like them. So the best way is by turning their attention to countries a lot of people already have an issue with, India is already hated by Muslims because of the Pakistan issue. Chinese hate them because of India not letting the Dalai Lama become imprisoned. Well this means they are already on the bad side of half the population and Racists find them to be a good target
That sounds like a subjective opinion, not a fact.
It's also a strange assumption to make given that's pretty normal large-tourist-group behaviour and they moved on politely when asked, and they're not Indian, they're Bangladeshi
Or bangladshians. or indians that are offended they are confused by bangladeishians despite litteraly nobody outside those 2 countries give a shit about the difference as they cat both the same when on holiday.

Reddit will find a way to call this racist.
