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
Pakistan -> Muslim Indians
Found the Indian.
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.
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...
I'm an old white guy, i think old white guys are mostly assholes so there is that.
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
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!
Oh yeah they made a documentary about the guy
Familiarity breeds contempt
Or they could be from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka...
