A few truths about India and Indian people. (serious)

[zinc2man]

2. Arrogant (Every single part of our culture is based around social status. Who you are determines who you get to hang out with, who you marry (arranged), who you can make fun of and look down upon, treat servants like sh*t, etc. Don't fool yourself by saying everything is OK and let's all sing a Bhajan together).

Everyone has a desire for more, thats universal. But, im glad im not Indian as they seem to place a huge emphasis on what you have and your social standing. Im glad not to have such pressure placed on me.

When i watched a documentary on Indian people all they talked about was their wealth, their standing, which minority groups were their main competition etc.

They were also pretty racist towards other Indian people based on skin tone and facial features.

[TheALMIGHTYAnus]

I can't believe no one in this thread has mentioned those selfish Indian **** heads that happily throw acid onto girls faces, for the stupidest things.


Brb talking to a random guy that just served me when i was going shopping. Woah acid on your face.

Brb having a baby that is a girl. Woah acid on your face

Brb wearing clothes that are too reaviling. Woah acid on your face

Brb Not going to go on a date with you . WOah acid on your face

Seriously wtf is wrong with a race of people that will happily do that to someone.

What about those white neo-nazis who hunt down jews and kill them and their families in cold blood

YOU-
I KNOW! I'ma generalise this to the whole white population because I'm a dumb, illiterate white ******* which gives me a perfect opportunity to give my uninformed take on other people and say wtf is wrong with a race of people which happily find and kill families because of their religion

The desire to earn money is universal, I agree. But EVERYTHING else takes the back seat when it comes to Indians. Money rules. Growing up, I was told to focus on nothing else but my education and was told that all the good students will end up being rich. I was forced to study for a good 3-4 hours a day as a 12 year old kid (although most of that time was spent spacing out or reading other sh*t). I would get yelled at for playing outside for more than 30 minutes. I had to stay indoors in the summer time cause it's too sunny outside and I might get "dark"/tanned which leads me to my next point.

Skin color is huge in India. You could have light skin but be a complete loser and yet people will respect you just because of your skin color. You could be the smartest kid in the world but have dark skin and you're looked down upon. It's a well known fact that Indians place a very high emphasis on skin color (especially on women). That combined with the concept of dowry (still strong among poor people) really puts dark skinned women in a tough spot when it comes time to "get" a girl married.

Is that to do with them wishing to look Westernised or is it like when it was popular to be pale in Britain. As dark, tanned skin signified that you worked outdoors and were poor.

The goal is to look like a white/Westernized person.

[Jay89LDN]

yes this is why filipinos are better than indians and chinese

[dietingsucks]

If you're a decent looking white guy, could you go to India and have tons of Indian girls all over your wang, or would that be a really bad idea?

[Jay89LDN]

3. Indians have terrible terrible genetics for Bodybuilding mostly, but then again, with enough dedication, they're not AS bad as say, Chinese people.

it's just inferiority complex. the invaders were always fairer.

the persians, and then the british

[StevieMe]

Indians are the most racist people in the world. They even hate on their own race lol, thats how racist they are.

Was just about to post this, but you beat me to it. There's so many caste systems that some Indians consider other castes almost the same as being a completely different race of people. It's a joke.

[miscdoctor]

Lol you low caste *******s mad at upper class Indians lol

I really don't get why indians stink so much. I mean, pakistanis eat a pretty similar diet(lots of spices, onions etc), and live in a similar climate, but i have yet to come across a smelly pakistani

Pakistani food is never as strong as Indian food. Might be because a lot of Indians are vegetarians and end up putting all kinds of exotic stuff in their food.

I'M GOING TO ADD THIS NOTE HERE. THIS THING ****ING EXCLUDES PEOPLE NOT BORN AND BRED IN INDIA SO KINDLY EXCUSE YOURSELVES FROM TAKING THIS TO YOURSELF IF YOU'RE NOT INDIAN BRED.

Okay. I have been reading up threads on this section for quite a while now. All the blatant racism, trolling, arguing about the country and its natives...

I live in India, and have been here since birth, I just wanted to speak out on a few truths regarding the people over here and this country as a whole. I don't care if Non Resident Indians or other people don't agree with me or whatever, this is how this country is...


1. Indians are probably the most selfish people you'll ever encounter.

2. Indians don't stink. At least the educated ones don't.

3. Indians have terrible terrible genetics for Bodybuilding mostly, but then again, with enough dedication, they're not AS bad as say, Chinese people.

4. Sikh people have a false sense of pride due to their culture and heritage, and way too much arrogance.

5. Most Indians will back out of a fight if they ever got into one.

6. Most Indians can be knocked out in a single punch.

7. In an event of a World War, most Indians would prefer getting the hell out of the country than staying and supporting the troops etc.

8. The Indian call centers are some of the worst places of employment and the people that work there are the BIGGEST jackasses you'll ever come across. They're complete losers.

9. The Indian "software programmers" don't know jack ****, they steal all their code from libraries or other programmers, seldom would you find an Indian doing completely original coding. Some will argue this is probably the logical thing to do, but it really isn't, and there are many reasons to this which I won't go in now.

10. Indian people have TERRIBLE Indian accents. Don't be deceived by the ones that have been living for generations in Western countries.

11. The Indian education system is a total joke.

12. Localfool looks like an average big city Indian girl. Not a heavenly blessed beauty.

13. Kiwiburger is sadly, a fairly accurate representation of how most skinny Indians look like.

14. Indians are EXTREME White Knights. The entire Bollywood is based on white knighting. All the music is about white knighting, and I'm not kidding, ALL of it is = White Knighting. There are ****ing LIBRARIES of BOOKS about how to white knight. There are entire CONCERTS of people BATTLING with white knighting poetries (they call them shayaris and ghazals). It's THAT bad. Women think they're heavenly blessed and act extremely hard to get.

-----

Also read this epic post by Deltbrah that I completely agree with:



Bulker

1. Indians are some of the most friendly I have met, and always willing to help.

2. True, Indians do not stink.

3. Indians are kind of small physically, true.

4. No comment.

5. Indians are smart so they wouldn't fight for no reason.

6. I think it's hard to know if this is true.

7.IDK.

8.Never been to India, wouldn't know, here the call center workers are friendly. Both the Indians and the Pakistanis, although you get the feeling they don't really care.

9. No comment.

10. Some of the Indians have a soft accent that makes their English sound cool.

11.No comment.

12.No comment.

13.No comment.

14.Bollywood is lol.

[Packers64]

This right here is the truth. I'm Tamil, and I don't think anything in our diet has a particularly distinctive smell. I mean, what the hell does an idli smell like? Does it even have a scent?

But, there's no odor that gets to me more than the stench of some of the meat that's cooked in the US. It's not that meat itself is a problem. I have been around non-vegetarians in India, and their cooking doesn't smell as bad.

I can't count how many times I've been forced to hold my breath when I walk past a restaurant. But the worst part of it all is when someone holds a barbecue out in the open. ****in hell, that sh!t is foul. I just drive off into the distance as fast as I can when I hear a neighbor break out the barbecue equipment.

..

My mind is full of ****.

doesn't like BBQ...

what is this... i dont even...

[xzp]

Op's right I suppose.

I'll say this.

Even the Indians who have moved here, half of them are either idiots or socially inadequate, due to their family background. It's the cheap, stupid and always trying to pull a quick one indians who portray the bad image. Here AND in India. Call it the crappy side of the middle class, if you will.

I've worked in companies where there are a lot of indians (previous job) and some of them with their behavior make you go "Wtf, where were they born?". Be it 20 year olds who came here a few years ago or 40 year olds who have been here for 20 years.

[Rich89]

lol wut. I've walked into a huge debate about india and its culture.
