      India is incredibly classist, or more specifically castist? What's the "ist" for the caste system?

      edit: It's spelled "Casteist".

        This specific case isn't casteist. It is general bigotry against Biharis.

          Just looked this stuff up. Apparently the Biharis use to be viewed as a caste but isn't anymore. Whatever. If it walks like a duck and quakes like a duck, it's probably a duck. Racism, Classism, Casteism, religious bigotry, sexism... all looks the same when you take a step back.

                Typical southern Indian lady, probably. Sorry, I'm not educated enough to be well-bigoted in this instance.

                  One is class war and another is sub class war based on geography.

                    Someone does good things in India.

                    • So proud to be an Indian
                    • India super power 2020
                    • India is a genius country
                    • India is home to the most diverse population
                    • <some local patriotic chants>

                    Some people do bad things in India

                    • Don't blame the whole country
                    • India is too big, problems are big too
                    • you just know which people do this
                    • Kill these <insert religion/caste>
                    • Don't tie us together with these savages.

                    They switch the rhetoric which always paints themselves as a better Indian. Then the whole nation starts brigading the internet discussions to defend themselves like it's their job.

                    India is proud the British made them a big player in the international market after leaving, but also isn't afraid to go low to bring out their moral superiority when it suits them against their own.

                          Purposefully misses the point

                              Eeeh, places that are more... "federal" or strongly regional tend to do this more. Some countries put on a more united front, places like the US and India, seem to do more of what [email protected] is saying

                                People who need an other to feel superior to for their own shortcomings and to maintain the rigid world view they were raised in. At the core, they're the same. Why do you think sexism highly correlates to racism? Classism and casteism follow the same reasoning.

                                Now tell me what the difference is between the bigotry against the Biharis and Casteism?

                                  If you brush all bigotry off as "just bigotry" you're missing out on a lot of the ways impact and motivation differ.

                                  Bigotry against bihari people focuses on a specific region. This discourages emigration and has a compounding effect on the region.

                                  Castism is not region based and does not provide additional pressure against emigration.

                                  There are others, but I'm not writing you a fucking essay.
