Y u so dumb?
[–]fraandsTnk u mudi fr free FB 8 points9 points10 points  (6 children)
On 4chan int or pol India's open defecation was being discussed when a kulcha warrior from India mentioned "In India we have designated shitting streets" from then on these meme's became popular.
[–]saadakhtar[S] 2 points3 points4 points  (3 children)
And Poo in the loo?
[–]fraandsTnk u mudi fr free FB 4 points5 points6 points  (0 children)
Poo in loo was in response to shitting on streets. Someone posted a UN video made for India where they toilet train people aimed at rural audience. Poo in loo, shit in toilets not on the streets.

designated from this thread: https://i.imgur.com/oUmleJX.jpg
[–]veertamizhan 2 points3 points4 points  (1 child)
it was not a Kulcha warrior I think, some australian using an India proxy...
[–]fraandsTnk u mudi fr free FB 1 point2 points3 points  (0 children)
Damn! I read it again now. It does seem like a troll.

Subreddits that remove racism and memes will generally remove such comments, so report them.
Designated Shitting Street
/pol/ meme from 4chan. Open defecation in India was being discussed and then a user (either a patriotic indian, or a troll) pointed out that India would become a superpower by 2030 and people do not shit in the street, only in "designated areas".
The user at the very top spawned this meme.
poo in the loo
Based off an actual UNICEF India advertisement:

Hardly anyone does. TIL people definitely dont consider it to be racist.
[–]Fluttershy_qtest 0 points1 point2 points  (11 children)
/r/india and /r/worldnews definitely do. If reporting doesn't work trying messaging the moderators, or sending a PM to a mod you know. /r/askreddit also removes blatant bigotry and always removes memes on [serious] threads.
Obviously you should start with the most racist comments, and then work your way down.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points  (10 children)
Rindia does i agree. I had an altercation with TIL mods today after which i went on rampage and got banned.
[–]Fluttershy_qtest 0 points1 point2 points  (9 children)
lol
Why not work within the rules. You won't convince anybody if you keep getting banned, lol.

What rules? The rules which do not apply to selected class. I first tried approaching the mods of TIL they responded negatively and banned me from messaging them. /r/todayilearned thinks that racism against Indians is not racism.
[–]Fluttershy_qtest 0 points1 point2 points  (7 children)
Did you get banned from there, or did they just mute you on modmail ? If they did mute you for 72 hours you might have been messaging them too much.

Could be. A lot of subreddits have a very hands-off moderation style, where they don't remove bigotry or abuse. I think that's dumb in general, but a lot of people seem to disagree.
/r/india used to be that way 2-3 years ago.
Many of these subs are understaffed so they don't care much.

First they muted me. Then banned me. I told them beforehand if they dont remove the racist comments i would start responding to them. They refused to do so.

They simply dont consider it to be racist.
[–]Fluttershy_qtest 0 points1 point2 points  (5 children)
What comment did you report ? the designated shitting streets memes ?
maybe they have a channer on the mod team, lol.
I would remove something like that if reported though, I have a personal hatred for memes, probably even more than casual racism.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points  (4 children)
the designated shitting streets memes ?
Yes. When i responded to one of the comments, i got reply calling me shit flinging monkey or something like that.

You mean Superpower by 2020 and not 2030. About 5 more years to go~
[–]Fluttershy_qtest 0 points1 point2 points  (2 children)
There was a thread about super power too.
Someone said "super-pooper" and "pooper-power".
By the way the actual 2030 video is just pure cringe, from some telegu film or ad I think:
The accent for the "white people" is just so terrible
[–]ymmajjet.- -.-- -.-- / .-.. -- .- --- 1 point2 points3 points  (0 children)
Oh man! I remember this video. Complete cringe fest!
Had I not been an Indian, probably I too would have trolled hard given how easy some people make it.
[–]PatientlyWaitingfy 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
"super-pooper"
I'm sorry but I chuckled at that one
[–]vaultboyapprovesA thing is a thing 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
Yeah that guy was 99% a kulcha warrior. No troll can mimic the kulcha warrior that perfectly

A family that shits together stays together.

desi = designated and our dirty streets where people poop
