American version of "fringe elements"

Indians should put a banner outside their shop that 'They are not Arabs'
[–]Chutiyapaconnoisseur 10 points11 points12 points  (2 children)
And even if this worked, what would the point be? As long as Indian-Americans are not targeted but brown muslims are, everything's okay?

But then real Arabs would also start doing the same and racist whites would attack indiscriminately.

What if Arabs start doing the same?

Man tries to burn store run by Indian-Americans in US, says they are ‘Arabs’

  • Lloyd was charged with first-degree arson and booked into the St. Lucie County Jail in lieu of a $30,000 bond.
  • He told detectivArabs,Convenience Sttore,es he assumed the owner was Muslim and that made him livid because of what they are doing in the Middle East, Mascara said.
  • Its unfortunate that Mr. Lloyd made the assumption that the store owners were Arabic when, in fact, they are of Indian descent, Mascara added.
  • Mascara further informed that when deputies arrived Friday morning and found the fire, a man in front of the store put his hands behind his back and told officers to take me away.
  • Last month, Indian techie Srinivas Kuchibhotla was killed in an alleged hate crime in Kansas.

So much for supporting Trump.

Indians and Sikhs need to showcase themselves in US and run a PR campaign to show they are not Arabs.Some Indians can even be mistaken for Mexicans
[–]Sum-Guy 18 points19 points20 points  (9 children)
Why? So nutjobs only target real Arabs? Innocent people are innocent people. The U.S. has to deal with it's guns, violence and poor education to solve problems like these.
[–]Chutiyapaconnoisseur 5 points6 points7 points  (6 children)
It's not even a gun issue. The US isn't as stable as people would have you believe. It's 62% white and as that percentage ticks down, a lot of violence will increase as a backlash. It's not even unique to the US either.
Go look at any history of ethnic conflict. If you have a once-majority population turning into minority, and a significant proportion of that population never voted for that change, it will endanger a response.
Look at the Lebanese civil war or decent-sized minorities who feel squeezed like in the Sri Lankan civil war, the break up of Yugoslavia or the ethnic conflicts in Pakistan(Balochistan etc).
I keep telling people, the US is going to face a very long time of unrest and social strife in the decades ahead. Nobody wants to listen, though, because the message isn't fitting their fantasies about the US as a dreamland. I'm not saying we'll see civil war, but this kind of low-intensity ethnic conflict is only increasing. There is a clear danger it could go hot in the decades to come. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to spend some time reading up on the history of ethnic conflicts.
[–]Glorious_Comrade 1 point2 points3 points  (1 child)
Stormfront have certainly been calling for a race war forever, and their more socially acceptable succession avatar, alt-right, is slowly pushing the envelope on justifying "apt response" to their opponents. Slowly lowering the bar for what would be a justified reason to punish someone if they don't agree with their version of "American values". Like you say, such low intensity violence will tick up in frequency, normalizing it. Just like how school shootings are no longer shocking in the US. Or Trump's ridiculous antics and outrage dilution, for that matter, are also becoming routine quickly.
[–]Chutiyapaconnoisseur 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
I don't worry too much about the alt-right or stormfront. Frankly, the only time I ever read about them is when other liberals talk about them. Kind of like David Duke. I've never read a word he has written, but my god, have I read his name 1000 times from various liberals. I just feel some people give these loons way too much attention /Rant
To go to your point, I don't even see "race war" as relevant either. Most whites are probably quite comfortable even as a minority. Why wouldn't they? They have disproportinate control. But some people will want all control.
And even beyond that, beyond control, I also think it's about culture. America to a minority of whites has meant a very specific Western culture. As the demograhic becomes more mixed, so will the conception of what it means to be American etc.
So, to my mind, the whole jumla about "race war" is overblown and retarded. What we could see, instead, is maybe 10-20% of US whites becoming radicalised. But 10-20% out of 200 million is no small number. See my point about balochistan or even Sri Lanka. Ethnic conflict tend to be a small, but not too small, minority feeling threatened or isolated.
I'm not even worried about white vs non-white. I'm more worried about white leftists and their response. It could become radicalised as well, and escalate uncontrollably into violence, which would make the tinderbox go boom. If you look at the WWI and WWII, white right-wingers and white leftists can be very brutal to each other. I wouldn't be surprised if brown Americans acted as peacekeepers and negotiators in the future because white Americans would be at each other's throats.
[–]JamieNoble03Telangana 1 point2 points3 points  (0 children)
Whites in US, much like General Caste Hindus in India, never have more than 2 kids since they know more mouths to feed = lower standard of living. Blacks, Hispanics, Arabs, Muslims, OBCs, Dalits have no such compunctions. The taxpaying class has only itself to blame. But the real problems is when the taxpaying, wealth creating class is asked not only to subsidize the families of the rapidly growing 'minorities' and then asked to roll over and die and face their decline with a smile.

Same with Dubai, UAE, etc. It'll be the Indians burning things to the ground there and ripping arab masters off their camels.
[–]Chutiyapaconnoisseur 0 points1 point2 points  (1 child)

That frankly read hilariously.

First try to save your own life and then go for world peace
[–]Sum-Guy 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
These types of people don't even care that you're Arab. It's that you're different. There are good white Christians and then there are the rest, and that includes people from India and Sikhs. People need to stick up for each other. Just trying to get a bigot to differentiate between two things he hates solves nothing and helps no one.
[–]Priyon 3 points4 points5 points  (0 children)
Such a PR campaign would be a hallmark of shame for the US, due to the fact that it would be required in the first place.
[–]Glorious_Comrade 5 points6 points7 points  (1 child)
Is it just me or is it crazy that everyone is suggesting NRIs to educate rednecks on who Indians are: you don't want to kill me, you want to kill that other, slightly different looking brown guy over there.
Also, they don't care about the difference. We're also taking their jerbs, and challenging their Christian Western values with our pagan bullshit culture.

You're not crazy. The people suggesting these maneuvers are.
[–]Indythrow1111 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
We're starting to carry guns and load up. Don't give a fuck if someone thinks I'm an arab, mexican, muslim, or some other shit they don't like, the one thing I can't accept is killing people based on racism.
[–]Acquits 1 point2 points3 points  (0 children)
I believe Indians are not helping the cause either. Immigrants working in silicon valley is acceptable because they are MORE QUALIFIED THAN AMERICANS.
Being immigrant and opening a shop or by driving a taxi will totally qualify as "Stealing the job" and the probability of getting shot will be higher in such scenarios than getting shot in rich suburb.

Yesterday visited birla mandir in Jaipur. There I saw one foreigner appears to be American smoking cigarette in the temple compound. Neither guide with them nor the security people tried to object this guy. There are boards everywhere it is a offence. As I was with family, decided to let go.

You're either being facetious or you've successfully isolated yourself from recent news having to do with racist attacks on national/ethnic Indians in the US.

Thank you for contributing to my 'learn a word a day' project - facetious

Indians who left for USA and settled there are now "americans".
Just because their sperm donor and embryo came from India, It dose not mean they are still Indians
They are not Indians.They are.americans
