Consider that it’s not Indian people you hate working for or with, but a particular behavior you’ve noticed and are attributing to people being of a particular race, instead of just them doing stuff you don’t like.
Don’t come back with “but why is it only them” or something. It’s definitely not. Just identify the behaviour and remember that is what you don’t like, not the person’s race specifically.
You get people and habits you don’t like from all cultures; that makes sense, as assholery knows no borders. But if you make it (the things you don’t like, whatever they may be) about race, it’s racist, so stop it. Unless you like the idea of being a racist, which it seems like you don’t.
The moderator’s opinion is better if the mod is deleting your racist comments.
OP's racist comment from the modlog, if you must read it:
Maybe I need a bit more coffee, but I read this as “Although I think I’m feeling like this, I don’t like it, as it makes me feel a bit racist”.
Present an argument to support your accusation.
I feel justified but I also feel a bit racist. by Plesiohedron @lemmy.cafe
That isn’t an argument.
There’s no argument to be had, obviously. If you want one:
Racist shit is dumb. You acknowledge posting racist shit. Therefore you post dumb shit.
Then you concede the point and agree that your accusation is unarguable.
What point? All that’s been presented is that you post racist shit. There’s no argument, it’s just a factual presentation. It’s not a logical conclusion it’s a basic premise.
I’m not going to hold your hand. Just lose gracefully.
Well, your own banned comment said you admit you feel “a bit” racist, so I know you are not asking me to present an argument that you’re racist.
Are you… asking me to present an argument that racism is wrong?
That isn’t an argument.
It needn’t be one.
Here’s an argument if ur gonna make distinctions bases upon race ur racist. Thus race based dei is racist. If race based dei isn’t racist then negative comments based upon race also aren’t racist. To have one without the other is simply doublethink.
It’s kind of amazing to see the mental gymnastics racists do to compare racism to DEI. The human brain works in some truly mysterious ways.
Please explain how dei giving handouts based upon race isn’t racist?
Well 1) They’re not handouts and 2) They’re adjusting for the biases shown in those industries previously and are meant to combat the discrimination these people have faced every day of their lives.
Not what I asked. How is giving someone something based upon race not racist?
No. That’s stupid. Very, very stupid. How are races defined without specifying differences between races?
What makes something racist is unfounded critique of races, not simply references to races.
DISCLAIMER: I do not mean this in the context of OP’s digging at Indians. Without some heavy qualifications that go far beyond anecdote, it’s kinda’ a racist statement…
So if the critique is founded then its not racist? U can find a lot of statistics that are true and would get you called an extreme racist if u said em.
For example is it racist to say that Arabs are more inbred? https://europepmc.org/article/MED/19811666
By your logic its also not racist to say that black people in america commit a disproportionate amount of crime https://crimeresearch.org/2023/11/violent-crime-rates-by-race/
These claims are founded in science and fact so therefore not racist right?
You seem to be completely forgetting that my point was that they should not be used to disparage an entire race, like pit bulls. You are on my side but you don’t even realize it…
An argument goes : “it’s racist because…”
Making distinctions/different rules/different judgements bases upon race and not the content of ones character is racist.
Is this a shower thought, or you bitching passive aggressively?
People have really lost the plot of this community.
op is having bitter thoughts in the shower
About being pulled up on their racism, no less
Why not both?
Self aware observation is self aware.
Sometimes we have to acknowledge our prejudices.
High level shower thought by a racist person
Yes it does, and I dare you to argue otherwise.

It makes it the only one that matters (in my community). 😌

Are you in the shower? Bcz it kinda seems like you’re not.
I disagree.
Ah shit here we go again…
As long as you agree with the consensus more or less, and say nothing too novel, strange or controversial, you probably have nothing to worry about.
and say nothing too novel, strange or controversial
I’ve never had a novel, strange or controversial thought in my life.
In fact it makes you a fence rider and a nincompoop.
It kinda does though. i.e. form your own community, put in the effort to keep it neat and tidy and make it how you like it, and then fend off people who want to come in and shit all over your parade without bothering to follow or likely even read the rules.
The very fact that you desire to post something to someone else’s community in the first place is evidence of how much more their opinion should matter, by virtue of their hard work put into it. No we are not all the same at all.
That isn’t a better opinion. It’s just power.
You have the identical power.
Maybe.
