[Rant] - I feel like a lot of ppl here rarely even see Indian immigrants in the US yet hold strong, unfair opinions on them while disregarding my frequent lived experiences with them (hexbear.net)

I've befriended a few, have Indian American friends that tell me what their close Indian immigrants friends are like, work with them every day, and see/interact with them in the city daily

If you are the user usually complaining about Hinduvta fascists, it's kinda uncomfortable for krakkker leftists to talk shit about brown people, regardless of how much their ideology suck

In any case, please see below

It should make them feel better knowing the average legal immigrant from developing countries nowadays have many many times more wealth and higher income than the average white leftist and it's not even close

Even if it wasn't the case it should be okay to criticize shitty ideologies; but it's understandable for a white yank to preffer avoiding shitting on a "brown" collective, because even if they were fucking saudi princelings, if it feels racist to focus on them don't fucking do it.

Gusanos are easier to pick on without feeling racist because lots of them aren't brown and would even try to kill you if you call them brown, plus the white gusanos usually actively hate and reject the culture of their "home" country.

Yeah, that's definitely not true lmao unless you think every single Latine worker is undocumented.

Nowadays. Not people who immigrated a decade or two ago

I think a lot of it is tech-bros feeling economic anxiety and doing a predictable about it
