Could be Pakistani. The most Indian-hating person I ever met was a Pakistani guy.

India and Pakistan have a bit of a history

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 56 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Understatement of the century ☝️

Hahahaha that’s akin to “Israelites and Palestinians have been in a bit of a disagreement for a few years now.”

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago

They haven't always seen eye to eye, let's put it that way

When you don't know that they are ethnically the same people....

I used to work with this lifted-truck literally red-necked red neck. He kept going on about how hot his girl was, and how white she was.

One day he shows me her picture, and she was indeed a very hot dark skinned Latina. Some people are just in denial.

I mean, we're on Lemmy, every American here hates America

[–] TheSanSabaSongbird@lemdro.id 9 points 2 years ago

I don't, but I'm not very popular around here either. My country is far from ideal, but I still mostly like it.

I feel like this phenomenon should have a catchy name, like: "No one hates Scotsmen more than Scotsmen."

[–] Godort@lemm.ee 33 points 2 years ago

Damn Scots! They ruined Scotland!

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's called "uncle ruckus" In my circles.

[–] peanuts4life@beehaw.org 9 points 2 years ago

Omg, I forgot about that character 😅

[–] WashedOver@lemmy.ca 36 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I have an Asian buddy that rages over how bad Asian drivers are and even gives them the fingers pulling his eyes even more closed move while passing them. I don't go anywhere in a car with him anymore... Come to think of it I rarely see him now...

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 31 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Is it because you're pulling your eyes closed?

[–] 1847953620@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

no, they're just like that

All part of Akhand Bharat.

Are you talking about North- and East-India?

[–] Aggravationstation@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago

Or possibly Pakistani. That whole hate your neighbour thing.

[–] spudwart@spudwart.com 15 points 2 years ago

Have you met Americans?
