Could be Pakistani. The most Indian-hating person I ever met was a Pakistani guy.

India and Pakistan have a bit of a history

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

Are Israeli’s called Israelites? That’s a very ancient biblical term, no?

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- pascal ( @pascal@lemm.ee ) 12•10 months ago
Please stop using “latinx”.
- dudinax ( @dudinax@programming.dev ) 12•11 months ago
I lot of Latinos are white, but she was not. Of course to a racist like this guy, no Latino is really white.

Not as offended as they would be if called them Lafuckingtinx to their face lmao.

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”.
- dreamer ( @dreamer@lemm.ee ) 2•11 months ago
Yes I’ve had this argument with some Latino people. I guess they don’t to be on the shitside of the stratification, but the racist whites hate them as well.

I feel like this phenomenon should have a catchy name, like: “No one hates Scotsmen more than Scotsmen.”
- Godort ( @Godort@lemm.ee ) 33•11 months ago
Damn Scots! They ruined Scotland!

I don’t hate America, I just wish we could be better. Hate takes too much energy
- WashedOver ( @WashedOver@lemmy.ca ) 19•11 months ago
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…

Or they could be from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka…

I’m not racist or anything but he’s clearly [race] so his [opinions] are hypocritical

Oh yeah they made a documentary about the guy
- puncmunc ( @puncmunc@kbin.social ) 5•10 months ago
As mentioned in the thread, self-hatred or the guy being Pakistani are two likely explanations. Maybe a third scenario could be he was testing if Anon was racist against Indians as well before presenting himself.
