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.”

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

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).

Anon actually so racist can't tell Indians apart from Pakistanis

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

[–] WhiteHawk@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

They'd certainly get offended if someone referred to them as "latinx", lol

[–] KredeSeraf@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

[–] kryostar@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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.

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.

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...

I'm an old white guy, i think old white guys are mostly assholes so there is that.
