Anyone else feel general dislike toward members of your own ethnic group?

[Enoch]

To answer the original question- the only Indians I hate are mommas boy, women worshipping betas, and the materialistic, feminist women who are so quick to adopt the western feminist lifestyle. Most Indian brothers I meet today though are on their purpose and showing more masculinity than other men in the west. I admire that.

Additionally, I would love to marry a dark south Indian woman (I am a very light northerner). They are submissive, and have good bodies.

I used to date a girl who was 1/2 Tamil Brahmin, 1/2 Assamese. Killer body and knew how to cook.

As a white dude I would occasionally mention how British I felt when hitting it from behind.

 

[eradicator]

When American white chicks claim that they're also "irish" because their granny went to Ireland on her holidays or some shit

If their grandma got knocked up on the trip they are probably speaking truly

When you stop seeing yourself as a specific skin color, you accept that they are idiots who happens to look like you.

(Starting this one off with a story.....hope I do not sound petty...)

Many months before...as in almost a year ago...

A Korean college friend based out of the south indicated he was about to propose to his girlfriend and set a wedding up for Fall 2020.

Original Plan:
Bachelor Party in Austin, TX: March/April 2019
Wedding Date - Big City in Deep South where he lives: October/November 2019

Keep in mind..this guy was supposed to propose to his girlfriend in August-September 2018..yet kept procrastinating.....

.....Until I got word he finally proposed March 2019.....

Worst part is..the new plan suddenly changed to:
Bachelor Party: Early August 2019 in Montreal
Wedding Date: Labor Day Weekend 2019 (pushed way forward...)

With that being said, whatever travel plans I had with family in the Spring were cancelled because of this guy not to mention he severely fucked with my Summer vacation plans too....

Recent Personal Issues:
Not getting into too much detail but I was pulled over going 0.08 (on the dot) after an incorrect nitpicky lane change after dinner in Spring 2018....I got off easily (and cheaply) & can get this off my record after completing a "prolonged" short probationary period that started from April 2019 till Late August 2019....

My Biggest Issue:
I can understand why he pushed the bachelor party backwards to early August since he procrastinated in proposing to his chick.....

however...

I'm not a fan of how he pushed his wedding 2-3 months forward to Labor Day Weekend which is a pricey time to travel via last minute notice.

The biggest problem regarding this issue is how he knows:
A) about my probation situation
B) about my drug/alcohol testing as a consequence...

yet...has constantly pressured me through shame/guilt trips by not attending this bachelor party where strippers, this dumb EDM festival, and rampant drug use would be prevalent...

My probation officer warmed up to my charm so I've only been tested in April 2019...yet I've been exaggerating about how much of a Nazi she's been by principal for how how he's has handled his own marriage not to mention his bullshit inconsiderate scheduling of his wedding date.

If you delay your proposal...then please fucking delay the date of your wedding?

Past Baggage:
I don't want to be too judgmental bc we all have baggage right?

However, his super rich parents cut him off in the past so he got married to this older rich albeit hot chick for the sake of survival so that she could get citizenship in the US...worst part is...his parents don't even know about his first marriage lol.

When shit hit the fan, I was one of his first friends to wire him money so it pisses me off about his disbelief regarding my "decision" to skip his bachelor party though I still made a fiscal donation for the festivities....

His Personal Tendencies
For the past several years, things have been great with him and his wealthy family whom by the way own many commercial buildings around the US not to mention food courts in Seoul.

This is a guy who grew up around predominantly white circles in a major city located in the Deep South so always felt the need to overcompensate by "showing off" to his Korean male contacts that grew up in their bubbles within A) New Jersey, B) Queens, or C) So Cal

Obviously, this guy has a strong connection with Korean dudes coast to coast..

Guy works his ass off yet has the trust fund privileges to where he literally spends whatever vacation time he has (which is a lot) flying to the coasts just to show off to his Korean guy friends

My Experience With Korean Dudes in Dallas
Much like my friend whom I think at core is pretty chill, most Korean guys here are quite laidback....

However...they have deep ties to other Korean dudes on the west/east coasts that grew up in bubbles...and these Dallas Koreans feel so inferior to them (when they're not) that they feel the need to bend over for their validation....

Takeaways
Being half Taiwanese/half Vietnamese myself having grown up in North Texas, the main emphasis was always family > friends.

I feel like most Korean guys in their bubbles are the complete opposite of that where male friends "of their kind" are way more important than family....to the extent...

that many Korean guys in the US "revolve their social lives" around "earning the validation" of their fellow Korean guy friends.

To me, this feels toxic & insinuates how they emasculate fellow Korean males of their "individuality."

Many American Born Chinese/Koreans will often blame their family upbringing or "media perception" for the lack of success with women outside of their bubbles....

Asian parents are well known for guilt trips & shaming of their own children...this however feels exponentially worse amongst insecure ABCs/ABKs that elevate this phenomena 10 fold within their male bubbles...

For the record, I don't think any Asian RVF member falls in the category above because we possessed the right initiative in joining this forum to enhance our own individual pursuits....(end rant)

 

[Thomas Jackson]

How are Brit Indians different from Indian-Americans? Just curious. I watched Bend It Like Beckham and they seemed pretty similar.

Here's a few comments:

UK - Indians are about half Punjabi and half Gujarati. People from other parts of India are very rare. I grew up in a town where every Indian was Punjabi.
US - has a lot more South Indians.

US - tend to come from more educated backgrounds on the H1B visa and worked in medicine or engineering etc. A lot came in the 80s and are still arriving.
UK - mostly came from villages in the 60s and 70s to work in factories.

US - Lots of Indians still coming in from India on via family sponsorship or H1B. An Indian US Citizen can sponsor siblings and their kids. Therefore there's a continuous flow of FOBs from India.
UK - Indian emigration ended in the early 70s, so just about every Indian you come across in the UK under the age of 50 was born and raised there. I didn't know a single Indian person of my age who wasn't born in the UK. A UK Citizen cannot sponsor his siblings and their kids. There's been some illegal immigrants and students coming over in the last decade, but the numbers are small compared to the overall Indian population. Therefore, not a huge influence of FOBs.

US - since their parents are educated, the kids tend to be raised to study hard, and a lot of them are raised as nerds. The dream is to have the kid be a doctor.
UK - parents are not as strict on education. They want their kids to do something e.g. get a job, start own business, go to college. Education is not everything to them. A lot of boys get enrolled in martial arts classes. They don't give a fuck about spelling bees.

US – some tend to have an inferiority complex regarding white women and feel like they can never bang one. I never heard anyone in the UK say this.
UK – white women are not pedestalised and when I was kid, every Indian guy I grew up around with was banging a white girl. It’s simply not an issue.

US – Regarding Muslims, they tend to have a deluded attitude. They think that all Muslims are like the rich Persian kids or liberal Arab kids they grew up with. I used to work with a Sindhi guy in the US whose family fled what is now Pakistan from the Muslims. Even after that, he still thinks Muslims are OK with Hindus.
UK – they get on well with Muslims in general, but they will never kiss their arses like Indian Americans do. They’re very well aware of some of the bad shit they do.

US – politically pro-Muslim (totally clueless about Hindu/Sikh vs Muslim issues), pro-illegal immigration, pro LGBT.
UK – politically they used to be more left wing, but many have switched to the Conservative party because the Labour party sucks Muslim dick too much. They're against illegal immigration and not fans of LGBT stuff.

US – tends to be a lot of vegetarians and non-drinkers. However, there are some who drink.
UK – basically everyone drinks, nearly all Punjabis eat meat, and a lot of Gujuratis do too. I didn’t grow up around vegetarians.

US – socially, they tend to socialize with other Indians and go to their houses, so are not very well assimilated.
UK – they go to bars and pubs and get along with everyone else.

US – Many girls are raised so they think that their shit doesn’t stink and suffer from Princess Jasmine syndrome. Also a lot of feminists. Many can’t cook.
UK – girls are raised traditionally and many are taught to cook by their mothers when very young. There’s a few women with a massive ego, but in general they’re way more down to earth than women raised in the US.

US - many men have an identity crisis - they either tend be in exclusively Indian circles or they're embarrassed to be Indian and only hang out with non-Indians. I remember talking to an Indian guy who was born and raised in Los Angeles, he told me he had never dated a non-Indian girl. I found that very surprising.
UK - tend to be more well balanced. They're proud of their Indian background, but also proud to be British.

This is really interesting. Have no experience with British Indians, but living with an area with a lot of FOB "American" Indians damn most of these are spot on.

Seeing upper caste Indians who were extremely privileged in India come to America and complain about "white" privilege is quite infuriating. I see more and more articles by Indian women to this affect.

I made this earlier post in this thread about Indian Americans.

It's all first world problems for these fucks. The US Civil Rights movement was in the 60s and these spoiled cunts are looking for something to virtue signal for. They have absorbed the NPC mindset so they're all about supporting Muslims, Black Lives Matter, feminism, LGBT, refugees, immigration etc.

They act they're oppressed in America whereas in reality they've had a very comfortable existence. They live in huge houses in rich communities and ostensibly support BLM and open borders, but they crap themselves if they're ever around black people or Mexicans. If blacks and Mexicans moved into their areas they would leave and move into a white or Asian area.

This crap about their parents moving to the US for a better life is mostly bullshit too. If you're upper middle class in India you can live like a king. A lot of these cunts' families probably had servants back in India. They came to the US for even more money and to get away from Indian bureaucracy and corruption.

I have US born and raised relatives and they're mostly blue collar, they're nothing like these SJW fucks.

My family is from the untouchable caste (one of the lowest castes). My father was born in a house made from mud and straw. Most of my parent's siblings died as children because the families were to poor to obtain medicine. They managed to get out of India because of relatives who had gone abroad to work.

The British remembered that some of their best and hardest working soldiers in WW1 were Punjabi, so they went to Punjab to recruit blue collar workers for their factories. The British didn't care about caste when recruiting for these jobs.

If you go back 2 generations in my family, nearly everyone was illiterate. Even to this day, I have living relatives who are illiterate. The average UK Indian is not descended from some upper caste privileged fuck back in India.

All of the upper caste Indians I know in UK are less SJW than the US ones. I have an upper caste UK Indian friend whose father was in the Indian Air Force and fought against Pakistan in 1971. He's very anti-Islamic.

I have an Indian uncle who was born in Australia and had lived there his whole life. He lived in New York for 18 months recently. He said he experienced no racism there (he said it was a very different vibe from Australia).

I've been in the US over 10 years and I've never experienced any racism.

A couple of years ago, before I became a US citizen, I remember one time I saw a table in a parking lot with a Republican white lady asking people to register vote for a candidate. I said, "I'm sorry I can't vote because I'm not a citizen". She said,"I'm sorry to hear that, hopefully you will become a citizen one day and vote for us".

In my very few interactions with cops, I've never had an issue.

Can co-sign on this 100%. Republican whites have been some of the nicest people I've ever met and extremely welcoming.

Indian Americans exasperated me to no end. I can't even explain it.

I've experienced some real ass racism in mainland Europe. I'm talking some hardcore shit like monkey sounds and everything.

America is the least racist country afaik.

Yet these clowns pretend like they're genuinely persecuted.

I even tried explaining the difference and my experiences and these people threw it back at me: "Oh, we went through that shit as well."

Like fuck you did. I lived in the US for a decade, it's nowhere near as bad as mainland Europe.

That's not to say there's zero racism in the US. But the contrast is so stupendously large.

I guess you can't pop their bubble because it would then expose them to just how privileged they really are.

On a sidenote,

Was checking FB a few hours back. Saw a Hindu girl post about being at her friend's Muslim wedding.

Back home I'd never see that shit.

I remember joining some Indian/south asian groups in the US and there were Muslims in them, sometimes Pakis as well.

I always thought it was weird. Like: "you dudes all OK with this, considering the animosity Hindus and Muslims have had???"

Indian Americans, they're an interesting breed. Fully bought into the liberal side of things.

Ann Coulter was right that the only thing uniting the people on the Left is a hatred of white people.

 

[Rorogue]

The only Indian American I fuck with is Dinesh D'Souza. He's a boss, and has dated some hot Republicans (Laura Ingram, Ann Coulter, his last wife).

Other Indian Americans could do the same it they didnt piss and moan so much.

I want to punch that faggot comedian Hassan Minhaj in the face.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Reza Aslan- a Muslim- is actually the one who I understood that from. He has studied religions his whole life and said recently on a podcast with Russell Brand that all the stories and myths are eerily similar in all religions. He was basically saying all the religions are the same manifestation of a human's need for faith.

Yeah, it's called the Monomyth.

Joseph Campbell synthesized that idea in his books The Hero with a Thousand Faces and his Masks of Gods book series.

Colour me surprised!

This guy made his living as yet another second rate purveyor of already known information.

Rorogue you seem like a decent guy but if no-one says it you will be left thinking that 'its all one religion" isn't the Hinduism that it is.

Reza Aslan- a Muslim- is actually the one who I understood that from. He has >>>studied religions<<< his whole life and said recently on a podcast with Russell Brand that all the stories and myths are eerily similar in all religions.

Reza Fucking Aslan?

Also.. studied???

Joan of Arc, Mahavira, Saint Paul, Hakuin, John Wesley, Rumi, hsuan tsang, Constantine..
These people never 'studied' other religions.

He was basically saying all the religions are the same manifestation of a human's need for faith.

Such a platitude that it literally signifies nothing.

My personal opinion is that all religions are making sense of the innate thing that all people have- faith.

Doesn't mean anything.

Perhaps I was wrong in saying that the purpose or all relifooks is what I said it was.

Reasonable, open-minded response. Appreciated.

What i mean is that I think that all humans need faith- and religion as it is known today are different people's at different times making sense of that same innate need.

So bland and general a statement as to be meaningless.

I am from a Hindu background, went to a Christian school for 12 years (where I did classes evert week of Christian education- which I enjoyed), and have studied Islam and buddhism to a reasonably thorough level in the last few years.
I saw and heard the teachings in all of them.

^Yes. Totally unsurprising. This is HINDUISM.

Also..
You "studied religions to a reasonably thorough level"?
Did you live with and practice with Buddhists or Muslims for a significant length of time during these years?
If you didn't then it wasn't significant, except as a means of rejecting those faiths according to your instincts.
Any teacher worth their salt Muslim or Buddhist (excluding Western Buddhist teachers -most influential ones being mainly left wing Jews from the Mid West - of course) would have rejected your characterisation of their faith and would have underlined the differences that make their religions different from others.

I really do think they are all doing their best to analyze the human condition, and direct our attention to God, or our self.

Okay changing language to incorporate various faiths' rejection of an All-Powerful Creator God.
Your qualification would be, again, a similar platitude that every man could tell his brother.
EXCEPT..
now its either God or The Self.
- the idea of the self or 'atman' is a central plank in Hinduism and at the same time is completely antithetical to both Buddhism and Daoism.
Your take is a classic Hindu take.

Whichever "language" of faith (ie religion) one chooses to speak doesn't concern me much.

^Because you're a >>Hindu<<< and because thats the >>time-honoured Hindu approach<< to religious differences... because .. underneath it all what you are arguing for is >>Hinduism<<

To be fair. .. In this "hey I'm spiritual not religious" times its hard to distinguish that filter from the filter of the craven people pleasers that most modern 'right on' 'spiritual but not religious' commentators are.

If no-ones pointing these things out then it does make awareness harder.

 

[WalterBlack]

Seems almost far-fetched...but first couple minutes of this video exemplify the phenomena I was referring to in the bolded words.....

I can't say I know any guys like you mentioned, but I've seen them around and heard stuff from Korean women I've been with.

A very good friend of mine is Korean-American and I've been going to K-town over 10 years. The video is 9 years old and it's changed a lot since then. I remember going to Korean Bars where the whole menu was printed in Korean only. Back in the day I was probably the only non East-Asian guy in a lot of places we visited. If you go there now, there's all kinds of people hanging out there.

LA is pathetic in that a lot of sit down restaurants close down at 10pm, even on a weekend. Because of apps like Yelp (a shit ton of Yelp reviewers are east Asian women), word has got around that there's a lot of places in K-town which close a lot later. Now you get a lot of non-Koreans hanging out there and the menus are also in English.

K-Town is getting gentrified a lot now and a lot of non-Koreans are moving in - there's a Buffalo Wild Wings there now. A piece of it was carved out and is now called Little Bangladesh.

A lot of Koreans don't even go out to eat in K-town any more, a lot go to Buena Park on Orange County, there's a lot of the restaurants of similar quality, but with adequate parking. Parking is a bitch in K-town.

The place that features after 8 seconds in the video (Soot Bull Jeep) is really good, they are one of the few Korean BBQ restaurants with charcoal instead of gas grills.

 

[The Resilient]

Welsh- American descendant here, my culture has essentially been an amalgamation of the English for ~100+ years. Looking at the British now, I can't help but mock them. Massachusetts is where most of my welsh lineage came to during the days from the great European transition in the late 1700s to early 1800s... and Mass-holes are over abundant there.
Entitled, leftist, and advocating gun control measures that are draconian which make the founding fathers roll over in their graves.
I feel no connection to my ancestry nor this culture of consumeristic americanism. I guess I'll keep looking for that familial connection somewhere... one day

 

[crystalcastle]

I'm Hungarian by descent and citizenship. Not perfect but can't complain much about that these days in rational European circles. On the other hand I'm also Puerto Rican and can't stand them. Loud, gossip, love drama, like to litter and live in filth, and breed like rabbits.

What happened to OP? He seemed to go off the rails a few pages in. Autismo?

 

[JackinMelbourne]

Do I feel a dislike for my own ethnic group? Absolutely not! Blood is thicker than globohomo culture.

 

[EndsExpect]

Yes, I'm Indian and I live in the US. I strongly dislike Indian Americans. Not only do we have muslim apologists like Aziz Ansari, Aasif Mandvi and Hassan Minhaj, we also have the worst SJWs with such notables as Mindy Kaling. And all this victim mentality despite being financially the most successful minority in the US. And let's see, the girls. Ah yes, such great examples as Anjali Ramkissoon who threw a tantrum at an Uber driver and is the perfect epitome of the stuck up Indian doctor hitch who is too dumb to get into a real medical school and instead partied it up for 4 years in the Caribbean. Yeah you damn right I hate my own ethnicity. Honestly, our parents' generation is hard-working and will most likely come out heavily in favor of Trump. It's my own generation that I despise.

^ with you Genghis.
Fuck the ltitle bitches that feel entitled because they're Indian or some assocoated religion.
I have worked for what I have my entire life, most of the time harder than everyone else just to get to the same level.
Then you have people that come from India that act lie they deserve something they didn't earn.

I'm a white American guy living in a big coastal city. I can honestly say that I'd rather spend time with 2nd gen Indians than white millenials. Sure the women can be bitchy at times, but as a general rule they are hard working and polite. They also tend to have good parents and are not entirely self absorbed. Actually had a very, very attractive, yet still a bit chubby Indian woman give me her number unsolicited a few weeks back. That has literally never happened with white girls... ever!

But the big thing is that so many of the white millenial men have totally rejected masculinity, that it saddens and embarrasses me. Sure Indian culture does it's best to make the boys beta, but they just don't turn into the same level of douchey pudwacker you find among millenial white american boys.

I don't think he ever pretended to be original and he cites other authors/professors to a fault.

I can't hate him on popularizing the Monomyth, but I get the impression you've never read his books.
