the white girl who gave me hell for being indian and hindu throughout middle and high school now runs a yoga studio 💀💀
BRUH 💀💀💀
@@happypaws24?
Lol, she probably doesn't even know where yoga is from.
And the crazy thing is yoga studios tend to be predominantly white middle class spaces that are exclusionary to Indians and women of colour
Indians themselves are casually racist towards black people don’t play the victim card now
people be like 'stop asian hate' until it's about indians or south asians in general
Even then, they stopped talking about it when they found out most of the assaults were done by black people. But obv bcos black ppl can never be racist.
exactly
it all stems back to whiteness
Fr. They only care about the mainstream counties 💀
Agree. The counter argument given is Indians don't think themselves as Asians hence often not included. It is their fault.
And then there's enablers saying shit like "I'm an indian and i dont think this is racist"
Those guys are the most annoying. And usually they’ll follow some other enabling content creators like Farzy.
@@markaragnos1796true
@@markaragnos1796idk I think ppl who watch farzy relate to his skits because some of them are realistic to some Indians. Most of his skits are about him pretending to be an Indian dad being strict towards his normal Indian son
@@ndfiboefbye either that or NRIs trying to kiss up to westerners
There's so many Indians that supported the Apu from Simpsons character, because they would think that acting like you don't care about one-dimensional stereotypes would make you cool and accepted. I feel like other races are allowed to be individuals more or less but for Indians we are so heavily held to our stereotypes and other Indians don't really do anything to push back against it, our easy going nature has be a negative in this regard and has been taken advantage of.
I have fair skin. I was once mistaken as a greek by an old cleaning white lady. The lady was very nice and caring, she always used to casually greet some students in the elevator and campus residence area.
I always remember the shock on her face when i told her i am indian, not greek. No casual greetings afterwards from that point on by her.
This is from sydney, Australia btw.
Same here
I got mistook as spanish
The lady then died💀
@@TheRealPsychoGeniusRevengeance bro's spending his time trying to troll a whole group of people he doesn't belong to. I don't think we're the ones who are on suicide watch kek, you are a miserable person lmao
Even I faced racism in Malaysia as a northeast indian
This lady asked me where I'm from when I replied , " India " and she was shocked she was saying indians are not this good looking aren't all indians dark skin aren't all indians look the same I was so pissed by her statement I just ignored her
@@costilla1212 finally found one, it was getting harder to spot the racists inthis comment section. What up brother
The one thing that turned me off PewDiePie completely was how he contributed SO MUCH towards casual racism against Indians.
I mean he glorified/normalized Nazi ideology and Nazi symbols at some point, so...
Yep. I was told by the internet that Indians are sensitive. We are just desensitized.
I really wanna thank Saji for making this video :)
@@indrinita Yeah, but I only found out about that stuff after I stopped watching him.
@@internetstranger- This new bombardment of people being racist with no questions asked is seriously disgusting me.
They are huge hypocrites.
@@syrup- It's very much because of how readily racists can shut down any criticism with "that sounds pretty woke to me"
Finally, it’s wild how normalised being abhorrently racist towards Indians online is seen. Extreme levels of generalisations and so
Maybe if Indian men won't notoriously creepy to women online, people would be a bit nicer
I see a lot of blacks being racist towards Indians. Mainly because immigrants people whohave been there less time, are doing way better than them.
i swear to God its actually true, it doesnt help the self esteem ffs
@@aeriumsoft yeah when I found out about it, it was pretty brutal. Luckily I live in india so all I had was online stuff, can’t imagine folks living abroad having to go through with this stuff.
The US is an extremely racist country. I don't think people really have an idea, its not always this outward internet edge lord and kkk types, There is a ridiculous amount of socio-economic racism in every facet of life, from the time you leave mom and dad to go to preschool you learn you are less than the pink and splotchy people
Another thing I find crazy tho is that whenever an attractive brown person goes viral or people mention how Indian people are attractive people always say that “not every Indian person looks like that” or “he or she is just a small percentage the average Indian doesn’t look like that.” It’s like they have to find an excuse to affirm to themselves that brown people just aren’t attractive. Idk if it’s just me but when any other attractive poc person goes viral for their looks their comment sections don’t look like that.
They use that tactic on black people as well and it evolved to be used on people of south asian descent as well. The racism is crazy family 😂
It absolutely does happen on other poc. Especially Native Americans and African Americans
They are correct ....
Actually small percentage of people are attractive in India ......majority people look like shit ....
brown people are not a small percentage who tf thinks that? lmao majority will always be brown in india
It's actually very true, Westerners have Stereotype of Indians bring the "ugliest" race, so whenever they see a decent looking one, or even an attractive one, they go in a state of shock and disbelief, hence why bringing all sorts of excuse and mental gymnastics. They always attribute the attractive looking Indians to be a small percentage, hinting that the majority of the population is Ugly. Blatant and Internalized Racism.
Most people think that Asia only has China and japan 💀
Isn’t it tho 😀
@@ahmad_rooney0 no
That’s because East Asia is the only clean, orderly, wealthy, developed, prosperous, civilized region in Asia. Even Pyongyang manages to be cleaner than New Delhi despite being under brutal sanctions.
The rest of Asia is either a complete shithole (South Asia), mired in religious fanaticism and war (West Asia), sparsely populated and irrelevant (Central Asia), or just poor (Southeast Asia).
@@ahmad_rooney0😂 average American
Reference: trust me bro
being racist to Indians is actually considered funny on the internet. ” curry ” and several other terms for the mockery of Indians is so normalized at this point, hope this video reaches to a whole lot of people for awareness.
fr !!!
there’s recently an upsurge in racism on the internet recently, you would think it would become less common, but it seems we’re regressing instead of progressing, lots of sexism and homophobia/transphobia too, and if you try to educate these people, they’ll just call you a pedo, while claiming they’re being logical and factual while anyone else is being emotional, it’s ridiculous
Indians on my telegram groups I used to manage were the most racist 🤷♂️
@@yereyesarebleedingbut I think that calling racist stuff that is not racist, like the PewDiePie stuff, devalue the word. If you call everything racist people will start asking: does he mean racism racism or "racism"?
I feel like it’s towards asians in general too
Why does NOBODY ever talk about this???? It’s crazy to me. I’m a white person born & raised in Canada, & the every day racism towards Indian & Middle Eastern people is so blatant, I don’t understand how people don’t talk about it. Like it’s SO normalized, it seems crazy to me that none of the big leftist content creators ever bring it up
As much as we try to counter the false and hateful narrative, it doesn't help when we have self loathing people within our very own community, who are a liability that lack self respect.
@@egomaniac1209 Franz Fanon would say that the colonized feels self hatred because of our oppression.
@@emzetkin1100 And I agree to a certain extent that it's wrong that they're made to feel that way and their problems aren't being heard to and addressed. But generalizing the innocent who haven't done wrong to them and assuming a population of 1.4 billion people as oppressors for the wrongdoings of a 100 people isn't solving the problem, it's being a part of it. Don't you think that would even justify what terrorists and those seeking revenge from the authority do?
Right. It’s so normalized
even seeing just the title of the video i wanted to come in to lament this. ive lived an hour from vancouver my whole life and recently moved to an hour from toronto and from there to here the weird disgust with them bewilders me constantly. coming from my parents, my siblings, my peers back in school and now in work, from people im told i should hold as authority its nothing but unreasonable hatred. its practically became ritual with me and my best friend when eating something we bought even just from an establishment owned by indian people that his dad was going to show up and say something inflammatory. i go to work and the conversation on break is about them 'bringing sickness to our country'. i get into an uber with my mother and she uses some disgusting belittling accent as if it somehow makes it easier for this driver, well fluent in english to understand. i hate it here, at least on that front.
I'll never forget when I said "as an Asian" or something like that and my WHITE friend said "I don't think Indians count as Asian" LIKE DAWG WHAT ARE WE THEN????
Technically India is located in Asia, but India is not culturally part of the sinosphere (think East Asia, South East Asia) -- so technically your WHITE friend right is.
He ain't your friend
Asian is a taxonomic category. You don't have their features. While you are South Asian. You aren't this description. I believe the term Desi applies. South Asians share many taxonomic features with European and MENA folks. Except Desi have darker skin. I'm going to assume you have no BLACK friends, as you would absolutely get the same interaction.
@@tukos7370 It's categorized as Asian racially, geographically and medically (e.g. when you're at a doctor's, Indians would check off 'asian' as their race). And I do have BLACK friends, so..
Stfu. I am Himalyan Indian...at least 50 million of us have "Those features" That's more than the population of many asian countries like Thailand...besides, it has nothing to do those features. India is the largest population in Asia. @@tukos7370 Your lack of education doesn't change our geography

Racist
I work in IT and often work with Indian software engineers. Last year at a company I was working for, my tech lead made an incredibly racist joke about not wanting to hire Indian folks because the “office kitchen would always smell like curry.”
I reported the “joke” to management, and I was fired less than 48 hours later. Yes me, not the man who made the joke.
That’s how normalized it is. I can’t imagine it would have gone that way if I had reported an offensive joke about anything else.
thats actually such a wild thing to do
In most parts we're not even seen as humans :')
@@truthbird1527Curry smells delicious. I don’t want YOU in the community kitchen. Stay in your cubicle and cry about it.
It’s weird how our trainings tell us to take this step. But when it comes to practice it’s selective
@@truthbird1527okay?? That doesn’t mean Indians all smell like curry
i’m not indian , i’m african american, but i’ve always found it so strange how indians are treated on the internet. like not only the racism, but the way other races who know prejudice respond / don’t see it as a problem either. that’s why i’m subscribe to your channel, because you’re informative about a race i’ve only ever seen painted in a negative light
Same. I feel like there's a little more of a connection between black and brown people, at least in my eyes, because we have to deal with the discrimination we face for the shade of our skin.

As a Mexican, I can't help but feel for the Indian community because when you think about it, we are both stereotyped as dirty, stupid, ugly, making fun of people with thick accents, etc. It always rubbed me the wrong way how normalized it was, and it's not just white people, either. It causes so much ignorance, too. India is such a diverse country with a huge mixture of cultures, so when people just reduce Indian people to stereotypes, it's just insulting, honestly.
I didn't realize they stereotyped your community as well like ours, I thought you'll got along as you're literally the southern neighbor of the US and an NA country. It maybe true, but I've yet to see a single instance of it happening constantly each day, even your characters are shown as mafia overlords, who are perceived as evil, but cool. The most racist stuff I've observed is Mexico always shown in the yellow tint cameras in Hollywood movies.
Mexican people are seen as ugly, dirty, and stupid? What?? People who say that are insane
im a white honduran and i prefer mexicans to indians lol
@@lurji of course you do, the first three words of your sentence didn't make it difficult to understand why
@@egomaniac1209 Perhaps it's a more Western problem. I definitely notice more prejudice towards Indian people, though.
it's so disappointing how often I've seen people call India or Indian people dirty or smelly and act like that's totally fine, there's so much casual racism
Not racist if true.
@@frogdeityliterally not true. People fucking pick on untrue stereotypes and throw it at EVERYONE. It's literally what racism is
@@snowshower4415 Perhaps you are incapable of noticing.
@@frogdeity if you don't give a shit about people, just admit it. But if you've never been around Desi ppl, if You've never been around Asians, or even a POC, then maybe you should reevaluate your life. And if you were raised being taught that, maybe reevaluate your education and consider getting further education from decent people who don't pick on other's races and ethnicities
@@snowshower4415 I lived in a city with a major Indian population for years. I've been around Indians. I very much care about people. I just don't deny reality.
As a Chinese American person I feel a similarly in that growing up I knew other Chinese ppl who were not proud of being Chinese due to people's sinophobia. Chinese culture is not really popular in the western world compared to other East Asian cultures. I think it's so amazing how connected many Indians are to their culture which is so ancient and beautiful. I love Indian traditional clothes, philosophers, art and dance. Love how Indians also embrace other traditional cultures. Whenever I see ancient Chinese dance videos there is often comments from Indian ppl appreciating it.
Yeah, especially throughout high school and college. If you're Japanese, Americans will love you and wanna be friends. If you're Chinese, most Americans are like "oh...bye".
@@LeedleLee457 The funny thing is, most can’t differentiate them in looks so you could easily lie
In my opinion Chinese have already rebuilt their country from the ground up so they don't actually need Western approval
Does Taiwan preserve ancient Chinese culture better than PRC?? I think itll build self esteem if you get in touch with your own cultures positive aspects.

Few days back on fb a Bangladeshi man commented a mean comment on a South korean youtubers comment section and somehow everyother people in his reply section assumed he is Indian and started fightinghim by saying "oh it's still better than tingalinga slinga","Oh like ur curry mustache","You Indian"..i mean they stereotype every brown looking guy with mustache is Indian,i replyed a comment by saying he is not Indian but Bangladeshi and someone from Indonesia replyed me by saying they all are Indian we don't think them as a different country blah blah,it really pissed me off

This is one of the things about "selective racism" that's so weird to me. Racism against east asians is apparent, racism against native Americans is apparent, racism against black people is so visible and acknowledged. But racism against indians and south asians is just "jokes" and casual remarks to the point they aren't even seen as racist? Like, it's selective as hell and it's so fricking weird.
I mean antiblackness is acknowledged but rarely anything effective is done towards it, it may make headlines and trending hashtags but zeromto no change, which is already frustrating.
@@JonCage9exactly
and no one cares about central asians lol- it's weird but i've never seen them mentioned???
@@JonCage9idc, it is very much addressed and criticised especially on the left despite it's ubiquity in society. that's the point! It is also much more taboo and considered clearly racist without debate. I'm not trying to pit anyone against another. I fiercely speak out against anti blackness all the time both in and outside of my community so far as to fight my own family when they say something colorist but I've never seen p stick up for us. It's literally the first video I've seen on anti indian racism despite being part of "bread tube" circles for so long. I can't digest the selectiveness.
“So visible and acknowledged” lol I wish
being punjabi descent, what grinds my mf gears is that how many people don’t know how after 9/11, how many older punjabi sikh were murdered because they were mistaken for terrorists. other thing that bothers me is how many indian stereotypes are pushed on other south asian ethnic groups and then people pull the “well all y’all look alike” card.
The Sikh gentlemen were mistaken for Muslims. Terrorists isn't interchangeable for Muslims, however much the media have made it so since 9/11.
LITERALLY. Also let's not forget the BLATANT racism on tiktok (the one guy who goes "dingnindingning" whenever he has something to say AS A INDIAN and also encourages or makes vids with creators from other races to do the same) I never understood why such videos were so liked, those vids had MILLIONS of likes. Gross.
literally! our turban makes us easily identifiable and when one of my friends moved to the US, his mother made him cut his hair so that he isn't brutally murdered. hate crimes against sikhs need more attention, people shouldn't feel the need to abandon their faith to just stay alive!
They weren’t murdered b/c they looked like “terrorists” they were murdered b/c racist white folks (actual terrorists) confused them for Muslims. But I agree even in “Asian” spaces issues faced by South Asians (as well as SEAs, and Middle Easterners) are not really talked about. There are still a lot of Americans who don’t think South Asian are Asians.
Earlier this week I mentioned to a person at my school about a sikh man my parents knew who was treated poorly after 9/11. They then went on to attempt to justify this hate with something along the lines of people deserving to be afraid. If one was so afraid they should know more about the situation and not to blame every brown man, and he is also American should he not be 2 too?
Let them be racist. Let them make their jokes. It won’t stop me. It won’t stop us.

@@mekelopte7071 how bro felt after this comment: 🤓
The casual racism towards Indians is insane. People are so nonchalant about it and get so confused or even offended when they're called out for it. It doesn't help that many people within our community are willing to let it go to appease to others (KSI saying the p slur) and act like just because they're okay doesn't mean that it's correct. The T Series incident was so weird to me, India is huge as a country and a people, it's not surprising they would use youtube and listen to their country's music, family certainly did. Then we have big youtubers getting so shocked that Indian people exist and subscribe to content that appeals to them

the thing with racism against us Indians online is that no one ever wants to call out their favourite creators for being racist, because in india's there's a mindset of "oh we can take jokes!" and even if the jokes do hurt them, and they aren't really jokes they don't want to consider themselves "snow flakes" so they'd rather have the racist stereotypes continue and becoming a laughing stock rather than just call the creators out
this is so true 🥲

This is so mf true, I used to be sooo against this from the beginning and later became what you just explained but after a while of realisation I understood it's not wrong that Im standing up for my people, it's those mf racists that are in the wrong

As an Indian, it’s weird to be acknowledged at all. I used to take whatever I could get, but you learn that it’s probably worse to watch racist media then no media.
I’ve always believed that it was worst for us to have bad representation than no representation in media and entertainment lol

real. remember when RRR won an oscar? yeah I had to double check if I was dreaming at that moment because we barely ever get any attention from hollywood, or the media in general.
Man, people don't respect India enough, it's sad. The Indus valley is underrated as hell. India is so culturally/ethnically diverse too. Hell, South Asia period, it's so overlooked. Not to discredit up north though too.
They forget that Indians come in all sorts of colors with different religions/cultures too. My old boss Mr singh wasn't too darker than me.
Yeah I agree. Studying the Indus Valley was my favourite, it’s sad to see their history gets pushed under the carpet (similar to China too actually)
Nobody cares because we got colonized by the British so now we have to develop ourselves again from scratch much like China and Earn that Respect Again.
This past summer was the 1st time I personally started noticing people saying nasty and hateful things online against southeast Asians. There seems to be an influx of tons of vids and clips of southeast Asians cooking street food or in food factories. I’ve seen these clips especially on instagram and I’m sure it is also on tiktok but I’ve never had tiktok. I try to leave comments arguing points but it’s a losing battle, It’s like trying to argue with a tsunami. It just feels (to me) like these past 6 years the racism online has gotten out of control with *everyone* , it’s too easy for a person to hide behind a screen. This is also the 1st video I’ve seen of a content creator speaking on the online racism towards Indians and it really needed to be done. I’ll definitely be checking out more content from this creator in the future.
💯
Its also because there are so many live streamers now travelling around the world and they will live stream walking down an indian street. All the viewers can see the street food and garbage, burned dead bodies floating in the rivers etc.
It makes india look really bad.

In Delhi also these guys mostly live in Old Delhi/Pritampura and all other Undeveloped / Migrant filled areas.

I can't tell you how sad it makes me that Raj from Big Bang Theory is probably one of the most recognized roles for Indians in English language media. His character, like all the others on that show, was a gigantic stereotype but because of the racial element made it so much worse.

Pakistanis are ok
honestly it's so weird because there's not many other youtubers which have a stutter and the amount of editing that usually goes on to remove the smallest of gaps this was both sort of jarring but also I think that shouldn't be something that bothers anyone nearly as much as it does? I'm autistic so I know how it feels to be judged on shit you literally can't control unless you actively repress part of yourself (which I did do; I love internalizing negative sentiments towards myself and my broader subgroup as a result of social norms!) and it's kinda exactly the same thing there?

Someone telling me the chefs at my work who are from Nepal are lying because they’re “just from Indian and they just say that” to ppl saying colonisation was the best thing that ever happened for aus/nz like 🤦♀️🤦♀️
@@BelBelle468 It's actually insanely common. As a white Aussie, I've had countless other white people (including my own family) be openly racist around me because they think that I'll be ok with it.
@throwawayaccount4008 I've made no attempt to hide my anti-racism sentiments (also white) and still people are surprised when I chew them out about their bullshit. Especially my country Victoria relos who think calling people slurs is funny. I won't stand for it. The least I can do is try to change things.
I remember that last year in my chemistry class, my teacher had an accent. I’m desi so I didn’t care, but all the “popular” kids in my class decided to make fun of her accent, talk during class, and just be overall terrible students. She’s so nice and she deserves everything, literally she cried 5 times during class last year. I don’t understand why she takes all these kids harassment and doesn’t report them when she heard them doing stuff like mocking her.
That’s horrible. I for one think Indian accents are super satisfying and sound pleasant to the ears.
i had an indian teacher last year in chemistry also, people always made fun of her
idk if its justified, but the kids outside of the first world, get slapped the f outta them for acting up. There will be disrespect and mocking, like teens do, but to the degree american kids do it.
I had a substitute teacher in high school who was from India, he also had an accent. He was hired recently during that time. Most of the students, especially the popular ones, bullied him a lot. And I mean all sorts of different races, ethics groups, and nationalities bullied him. They said a lot of racist remarks, like, he was on the verge of tears. Some couple weeks afterwards, I heard from a teacher that he resigned, which explained why I didn’t see him anywhere in school. God, the fact that kids can bully adults for their identity, shows you how racist and fucked up our society still is. I hope he’s living a good life now, he should have never gone through that.
Its funny how everyone now claims racism against them😒 Indians and Pakistani are some of the most racist people ever!! They'd rather not be seen as the same with other people.. they'd rather try to align with white people than shun racism when its not against them...many of y'all are hypocrites😅
Seriously though they don't even care if the person is Indian or other south asian. some guy from Pakistan/Bangladesh says something effed up in the insta comment section & immediately people start replying racist af things about Indians.

The story about the girl’s food hit me so hard because that happened to me. In elementary school kids told me my food looked disgusting and gross and because of that I stopped taking food to school for YEARS. It took me until college to finally be comfortable taking my Indian food to school. And now all my friends tell me it looks delicious and they always want to try it! And still to this day it’s hard for me to believe people when they say that it looks good 😭
Same here. It wasn't Indian food, but it was my taste and it REALLY put me off from bringing my food. I told a teacher and she made the mis apologized but it felt superficial, yk?
I bring Indian food to school now- I'm in my last yr of highschool. And I totally get what you mean by not believing them. I eat rice, roti, etc w my hands and I still get weird looks here n there.
indian food is DELICIOUS how do people think its disgusting? 💀

Hello, as a Moroccan who didn’t really grew up around people from South Asia, this video was really educative, thank you so much for this video
Others may have probably pointed this out, but in order for the indian community to come together and stand up to this racism more as a community i we have to create more unity amongst ourselves. There is still so much division amongst even different Indian ethnic and language groups but also among caste and among different religions to state a few examples. This also results in alot of toxic and terrible traits of our culture such as: caste discrimination, rampant sexism, religious discrimination, racism against other POC communities, colorism(within our own community), and so on. We we as a community can't even see eye to eye ourselves, how we can we take on something like this?
However, I hope and pray we can get over most if not all of these issues in the coming years and completely stand up and squash these issues of racism against Indians online and IRL. Which I agree, is sadly rampant, especially now. Thanks, Saji, for this video!!
racism towards indians was not only accepted but encouraged during the whole t series vs pewdiepie war lol. It was insane how normalized it was and still is, happy to see that someone FINALLY made a video on it :)
That's why I'm going around hating on every white I see just love pissing them off
Indians are so racist against black people. Racism against black ppl is universal. Indians don’t fight for themselves against racism they’ve just sort of accepted and kept their head down which makes them more of a target.

It's crazy to me how the population of India is a little over 1 billion yet every part of India is just stereotyped into one culture. In reality there are 28 states that make up India with there own unique cultures.
Even as a whole, India is a beautiful country in multiple ways (especially the food and music). Obviously it has its problems; the pollution, the insane population density, the corruption, the caste system, ect. But I'm from the US, so I've had to learn to appreciate the good that's in a country.
Same thing with Africa too, it's a huge place with extreme variety, but people act like it's a (usually very offensive) monoculture. I usually point out how we don't see that same behavior towards European folks where they get to be from their tiny individual countries that are usually way smaller than the states within India or the countries in Africa. People would think it was ridiculous to say Germans, French, and Ukrainians are all the same but that's what we do for other parts of the world.
@@iamjustkiwi you're so right it hurts. im from latin america (mexico to be precise) and there's so many different countries here with their own cuisine, indigenous languages, accents and all around culture that seeing them all lumped up as "basically the same shit" pisses me off to no end. even within my own country there's so much variety but since most of us aren't fully white i guess our culture has no value /sarcasm
The caste system has been banned since decades. Ofc it still may exist in some rural areas, but ppl make it a bigger deal than it is.
@@iamjustkiwiIndia is Country with multi-faceted culture, Africa is a continent with different countries.Both are d unique in its oen way. I think this thinking comes from ignorance. Specially the school-system in North America is not good, below average, and likely this behaviour and thinking stems from that.
@@TheBakuganmaster99As an American on the outside looking in, the caste system is the 1st thing I recognize as Indian culture. It may be "officially" banned but its principles are firmly embedded into the modern Indian way of life and thinking. As in America, I understand that in India paler skin is better and darker skin is considered "less than, not as worthy, not as clean". The Indian media exhibits this view on a regular basis, which is ironic given how the rest of the world sees Indians as a monolith, skin shade aside.
Why do we as Indians even need to seek validation anyway. Every person gets their own month. Blacks, Hispanics, East Asians, Indigenous people. Where is Indian History month? No one cares about us unless it's money related.
Asian heritage month seems to only cover East Asians anyways, it always pisses me off to see how blatantly ignored South Asians are and when our existence is acknowledged only Indians are covered and not without racist stereotypes
All of those groups that you just stated have a long and strong bond. In in American culture and history, explain to me what Indians did or were doing. Back in the slave times I can tell you what. Mexicans blacks And the indigenous people were doing.
@AmirShafeek I don't care about what they were doing or what "bonds" they have. My ethnic group is just as important as anyone else. Therefore, I expect importance like everyone else. I could not care less about y'all were doing back then and what bonds y'all had.

Yet they are the most colorist group on earth, even establishing an entire caste system that directly correlated with skin tone.

Haven’t watched the video yet. But, in my personal experience, this isn’t limited to online spaces. I’m not Indian-I’m black-but my best friend growing up and to this day is an Indian man. He was born in Calcutta, adopted as an infant, and raised in the United States. As kids, he used to try and distance himself from his Indian identity, something he’s only relatively recently grown out of as we’ve matured into men. When I asked him why he felt the need to conduct himself in that manner, his answers almost always came down to the way people treated him once they found out. Racism against Indians is, for some reason, extremely casual-and shockingly normalized.
Just a few months ago, I’d befriended a Japanese exchange student at my university as we quickly bonded over our shared passion for watching and playing American football. One day after training together, we sat down on the turf and started discussing the differences between American and Japanese culture. Somehow, we came to the topic of India-and this dude (who I’d only known for a couple of weeks at that point), became offended at my referring to them as “Asians”. He started a rant about how Indian people were, in fact, not “real Asians” and laid out for me all the reasons why he thought they were inferior to him. I was sitting there genuinely dumbfounded at how a person of color could be THAT vitriolic and hold such a demented level of racist beliefs. I excused myself, said goodbye, and never hit that dude up again. In my head I thought, if he’s that fired up about Indians, I don’t want to hear what he really has to say about black people. Removed him from my life as quickly as he’d come into it.
That was the most extreme example I’d ever seen of racism toward Indians, but not the only one. I try and verbally defend them and call out prejudice whenever an instance like that arises-but am always made out to look like I’m strange for it, as if Indian people aren’t worth defending.

I’m a white hillbilly, I was raised in an environment where we are suspicious of outsiders at best, being different than your people will get you shunned. I was always curious, “Too smart to live” was a saying used to describe me, the outside world was a siren song I couldn’t resist. I’ve had to teach myself over the years to realize “white” ain’t the baseline of the world, the world thankfully is a literal supernova of color. Any racism I’ve had in my life became oafish clownery after experiencing other cultures, literally melted the fear and ignorance away. We all are the same, we just go about the same tasks in unique and wonderfully different ways. I appreciate media like this because it’s an entryway to dismissing fear and ignorance, and building unity through our shared humanity.

Fear of difference is one of the biggest reason for racism, xenophobia etc. Not the difference but just fear of it.
Nah, there is no excuse for PewdiePie for that. That was so overtly racist, he could not feign ignorance then or now.

It still leaves a bad taste in my mouth because he, as a whole grown man, has targeted jewish, black, and indian people, and probably more groups aswell. His fan base at the time when he started acting that way was also full of young teens.
Yea true, I was young at that time, and that kind of stuff was seen as funny in my social circle. When I grew older it suddenly clicked like "damn wasnt pewdiepie like in his lates 20 when he did all the racist stuff". I think its far less excuseable the older you are.
hes so racist that no matter how hard he tries to mask it, it still slips out
his content has been a direct pipeline into white supremacy for years, and he's been protected by his fellow creators and their support of him, that's how hes gotten away with it
Receiving racism from East asians as a south asian was the funniest/saddest/ironic thing ever😅. The proximity to whiteness hierarchy is real no matter how many east asian youtubers/influencers tell you otherwise because the next breath they will celebrate aapi month by ONLY talking about east asia and MAYBE southeast asia. It sucks that even within this dialogue and with the rise and visibility of racism against east asians since covid, you would think we were more on the same page but racism toward SAs from EAs has gotten worse! Especially if you're darker skinned. Double for Arabs being racist af toward desis (yall know who you are and the way you and your families talk about us!). I have STORIES omg. That hurts more than yt ppl being racist. Ugh
It’s colourism, as well as featurism, for sure
You got brown skin, hair ringlets, big nose & lips? Whoops, you’re not “Asian enough” somehow.
Mind you, in the UK we don’t really encounter that sort of mindset as much (ime), since “Asian” here is synonymous with “South Asians”, although having said that, as American cultural influences become more prevalent, I’ve definitely seen *somewhat* of a shift towards East Asians being seen as the “stereotypical Asians”, so to speak

As someone from Canada, a country that is home to many Indian immigrants and international students, THANK YOU for this video. The casual racism I see online and not so casual irl racism towards them is appalling.
And THANK YOU for having brain cells and being kind enough to call bs and hateful narrative for what it is, something that is very uncommon and refreshing to see. Doesn't help when we have so many self loathing people with the "pick me" energy within our own community, but certainly does when kind foreigners like yourselves speak up about the problem instead of being it.
I’ve always noticed the racism towards Indians as a Canadian my whole life but recently it’s been horrible how much of it I see online. Any video I see that’s located in Canadian tourist spots or Toronto is just people being openly racist. It’s disgusting
Damn women in facebook are not like that
@@BooksToAshesReally? Because I've been around Indian people in Canada all my life, and it tends to be only bad people who are racist towards them. Maybe you should stop hanging around bad people, tbf.

Thanks for talking about PewDiePie. I've never liked him, but I remember during the t series era if you even questioned whether the song was racist you would be attacked and spat on and cancelled for daring to question whether PewDiePie wasn't an amazing person. He got away with so much stuff and you weren't allowed to criticise him for anything. I remember being a kid and I have Asperger's syndrome, I tried watching some of his videos and in one he made a joke about autism. I get it's just a joke, but as a newly diagnosed child who was also being bullied for being "weird" and "different", it hurt, and I felt ashamed for being hurt because I knew that if I commented something I would be called sensitive or probably the r word. I don't think it's cancel culture to criticise someone; I'm not calling for PewDiePie and other creators to be cancelled, but I do think they should take accountability, and not making racist and ableist jokes that do affect people isn't "woke". It's called being a decent person, and I think if someone doesn't understand that then they shouldn't be hailed as a good creator and have the platform that they do.
Yeah definitely. I liked Pewdiepie at the time, but that was only because the racist part sort of went over my head. I was for more anti corporate messaging, I didn’t want the biggest creator to be a corporation, to the point where the racism against indian people went over my head
I remember middle school classmates singing that song and then in the next breath praising Ben Shapiro. I feel like that's not a coincidence. side note, idk if you were aware but aspergers syndrome is an outdated and harmful term that comes from n*zis.
I do think it could be called "woke", since being a decent person is being called "woke" by assholes.
As an Indian, while I was dissapointed that some of pewdiepies fans turned a subscriber battle into a race issue. I believe that pewdiepie eventually owned up to the situation, as not only did he later go on to collab with an indian youtuber (a fun video where they tried snacks), but part of the reason why he ended the subscribe to pewdiepie meme was because people were turning it into a race issue.
@@rewrewrewrewr2674He left the racist music video up. He still gets money from it, he doesn't care.
I’m black but I’m also a Canadian and racism against Indians is rising over here. My childhood best friend was Indian, her and her family were genuinely kind and sweet people, we have a lot of Indian immigrants in my town I see them all the time especially in stores an the white people here keep whining about the Indian immigrants (as if their immigrant grandparents didn’t colonize and murder the Ingenious people here smh 🤦🏾♀️)
Similar thing in South Africa. White people here will cry and whine all day long about Indians (moreso Zimbabweans nowadays actually) as if Indians and Zimbabweans aren’t literally carrying the economy on their backs
Interesting, so economic immigrants are bad but refugees are okay. 😅
Lets give context. The white Canadians are whining because the recent influx of immigrants is crippling Canada’s housing market and standard of living. People are frustrated with that, and thats ok, because unchecked immigration is never a good idea. People using this as an excuse to be racist are not in the right at all, though, and it’s the government that’s at fault first and foremost.
uh huh
@@phoebesekine4783 the thing about Indians in America is that they're very into their culture. They don't assimilate well compared to others
The internet is getting to unbearable to use
Amazing video! As a white person, we also especially need to recognize, those of us who are poor/working class, queer, disabled, we have more in common with POC than we do with the 1%. As in tackling our internalized racism and white supremacy. Like you said, there are more of us than there are of the 1%. And we need to recognize that and do the work that comes with it.
Also, (though they migrated away from India over a thousand years ago, they are South Asian so I thought I might add) Romani activists and African American activists in the 20th century both supported the other’s struggle against racism and segregation, recognizing how it affected both communities. Both communities worked together and supported each other! This is just a fun fact about previous solidarity, I thought I should add.
Again, wonderful video!
I'd say Pewdiepie played THE BIGGEST ROLE in normalising racism against Indians, hands down. He took isolated cases of we!rdos on the internet and generalised it with the entire population of a literal subcontinent. And the craziest thing is that neither him nor his other white RUclipsr friends ever faced any consequences for it, despite arming an entire generation with vile racism and prejudice against Indians.
The creepy Indian guy hitting on Western women and the Indian scammer stereotype weren't invented by PewDiePie and they aren't "isolated incidents" either (which is why they've become stereotypes).
@@RuthvenMurgatroyd yes. That happens. But you need to understand that India’s population is the second most in the world and is much closer to surpassing that of China. Therefore, the probability of you finding an Indian male harassing a woman would be much higher than you finding someone from other ethnicity due to population proportion difference.
@@hoesmad4400 Yeah, sure, I made this argument under a comment saying that Indians are more racist than anyone else. I was basically arguing that that's not shocking considering India has a lot of peple and is really diverse (the fact that it's as stable as it is is the reall shocking part). But still, I'm just saying that the stereotype exists for a reason, how society chooses to interpret that reason (the observable phenomenon) is sort of seperate but the stereotype exists and it was already in the public consciousness before PewDiePie. Why not argue that Kitboga also normalized racism against Indians?
@@hoesmad4400 india is now the most populated country
@@hoesmad4400solo female travellers can’t even walk in an Indian city street without being harassed and sexually assaulted. It’s not a stereotype, it’s a reality. This doesn’t happen in places with similar population densities like China or Se Asia
YES YES. this has to be talked about. Americans, Koreans, Japanese, Europeans are so blatantly, casually racist towards Indians, so much hatred towards Indians. It's insane!
And Indians are racist to those groups...we are all racist to each other.

its not white peoples fault that racisms exist, there are 0 laws or things that are in place in the west that would oppress Indians. every race will somehow be racists to other races that doesn't mean every person in that race will be.

@@truthbird1527 the aforementioned are ethnicities, not race. ethnicity is not the same as race.
White means Anglo-Saxon. Those groups are not white but are tolerated and the majority of them are on the bottom of the ws hierarchy. They rarely talk about the abuse of racism. But recently, Eastern Europeans and Southern Europeans are starting to talk about racism and the effects of white supremacy. It will be interesting to see if the Latin Europeans will ever join the discussion or if they are too deep in.
I think once the Latin Europeans join in we all over the world will see a new context of racism and colorism: how it started in the Brits and how it spread.
@@Joyful_Smiles This would be so complicated. Like, there is so much to unpack and it would get LOOPY pretty quick, but just a little list of things that could be included:
1. The Spanish and Portuguese inventing racism to enslave converts to christianity
2. Italian authors inventing early forms of racial thinking or genetic determinism to discriminate other Italians [namely to put down the Sicilians]
3. The French and other nations implementing policies that suppress regional and minority languages to the point of near extinction [Occitan, etc]
4. The widespread acceptance of caricatures of Italian and other southern European people
5. The hypocrisy of distinguishing southern europeans from other europeans as the basis for discrimination while also absorbing their history to create a false narrative of a unified white european identity that white supremists later use to self mythologize
6. The way nationalism has shaped our understanding of these countries internationally is also super weird, like Neapolitan music and food for instance are stereotypically Italian around the world, but stereotypically Neapolitan within Italy, etc. It's a strange way to market culture and I guess gives us an insight into the commercialization and commodification of cultural expression in countries of relatively wealthy positions
7. In some nations you can literally see the creation of a national identity and read about people sort of cobbled together a more cohesive national identity out of loose, already existing ideas and reinforced it through the teaching of a standardized language.
There's a lot more and it's all weird AF

I’m not gonna lie, as an Indian guy who was born and raised in the U.S, I actually never realized that people were racist towards me until around a year ago. I was at my freshmen orientation for university, and one of the professors said to raise our hands if we had experienced racism, and I didn’t, because I didn’t think I had. Then, after I went home, I thought about some more, and my stupid self finally realized that people telling me to “go back to India” after not understanding some things about American or white culture and making comments about how my house probably “smells like curry” and “Haha cow god” was actually racist. Heck, when I was younger, I actually supported PewDiePie in his campaign against T-Series, because ya know, screw those poopy curry-scented Indians taking over RUclips! I just feel like it’s so normalized (and also because I was fortunately never physically harassed) that I didn’t even give it a thought until I was 18.
