Is my attitude wrong?

Ask Kashmir about Indian oppression.

1 The guy is a Sri Lankan (and that is how it is spelt.) He comes from a minority group (8%) sometimes called Sri Lankan Moors. He is Moslem as are most of this minority and they have been involved in terrorism before. The Sri Lankan Moors generally speak Tamil with Singhalese as a second language.

2 Not all Sri Lankans are looked down on by Indians, only the 70% who are Singhalese and Buddhists. The Tamil Indians from South India identify closely with the Tamil minority (16%) of Sri Lanka.

3 There are other smaller ethnic groups, the Veddas being especially interesting.

4 The Singhalese majority governments have consistently oppressed the Tamils and the Moors for the past 60 years, including a 26 year period of civil war.

5 India became independent in 1947, and Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) in 1948.

6 There are 21 million Sri Lankans and they are very good at Cricket, they have been World Champions once and runners up twice.

Beautiful, wow, thanks.

btw unrelated , but in line with the OP:

Some Indians' attitudes used to baffle me.
((I spoke with my friends of various ethnicities, and they tell me that their acquaintances had, overwhelmingly, similar perceptions. They initially tried to befriend Indians but were rejected.)

I'm baffled because Racism is present in India, right?
The darker their skin color the more devalued they are, women in particular, and the skin lightening industry is booming. Moreover, they often immigrate to former colonies where one's skin color is important, and also Indians/East Asians face discrimination.

So one would expect the Indians who have darker skin color to be more empathetic or humble because they faced discrimination too, both in their country and overseas. But no, often they are the worst culprits. The worst of -high-class- British arrogance and Indian arrogance in one body.

Many of their men, when overseas act as if they're some sort of princes, and treat others with arrogance and contempt. They backstab people at work (locals, immigs alike) and walk over cadavers

And it's not them reacting to oppression, or having learned cut-throat behaviors in a dog eat dog world, it's a true sense of superiority and contempt.
Or maybe the same imperialistic mentality as China?
Or because Indians who immigrate are from higher classes-caste who can afford travel, thus their attitudes? As opposed to British immigrants, who aren't from the highest "class" and are nice and approachable.

American blacks do the same thing when it comes to skin tone.

From personal experience, I can tell you that the Chinese do it too.

Shoot the fuckers. No use to society, rehabilitation unlikely.

And folk who are cruel to animals. And those who talk in the cinema.

Those cunts who talk during the best parts of a movie should all be shot. Honestly, were you raised in a barn? And people who don't chew with their mouths closed. Are you a cow? Feral as fuck.

They've changed the law here today, 2000 dogs stolen during lockdowns, previously seen as loss of property it will be now considered a criminal offence.

Quite right too.

Seen a bitch arrested for that over here. What a cunt. Families distraught because she wanted to exploit the pup for money.

It’s only going to get worse. They’ve now got a hand around the throats of politicians and will continue with attacks. This is only heading one way. War, because Islam wants complete control

Every cunt wants to push the envelope but I tell you what. New Zealanders are warriors. Shit does not phase them for long. They will fucking eat you. As they've done for hundreds of years.

I get it. I get exactly what you mean. Ive often thought the same thing. Its a desensitization we have become accustomed to. Its not if they deserved it, or if it was the right thing, its the fact that our brain automatically wants retribution. Almost senseless retribution. Death is first, questions come later.

I think its called being introspective. Thinking about why we think about certain things. Looking deeper for our own meanings and reasons. Its called intelligence. Its refreshing to see.

Put a gun in my hand and tell me to shoot and I'd probably piss my pants. But I'd pull the trigger if I had to. Big ups to the men and women whose job it is to put these psychos down. It wouldn't be easy. Thank goodness they were watching him, but yeah. Very easy to sit behind a screen and say "shoot him".

Why would you steal 2000 dogs? They must have a big yard.

 

[Champakian]

Maybe they're going Beyond ThunderDome and using them to make methane...

2000 dogs wouldn't produce half the shite spewed from your gob, mate.

Interesting that --simplistically put--Sri Lankans, who are oppressed in India, in turn oppress some Indians when they are at home.

Prejudice is ingrained in all of us, regardless of culture.

Anglo-Celtic White supremacy.
History books claim that the 'Arian' beliefs that became widespread in Nazi Germany were some sort of strictly local German abnormality that occurred through some sort of mass-induced Hitler delusion and as psychological projection because of the horrible inflation of the 30's.
But naaah, I'm sure that 'Aryanism' or whatever one calls it, was a wide-spread belief in North-Western Europe, at the time. They just didn't wish ill on those they viewed as morphologically inferior.

Eastern Europe / East and South Asia
We're the most ridiculous groups of immigrants, we all think that we're superior to each other. Eastern Europeans in particular experience cultural shock when they emigrate to the West, because they still hold socialism-induced delusions of being the same as Westerners, cause "we're White. And from Europe".

I personally find Indians to be ridiculous (their men act smugly as if they're some sort of princes, must be Hinduism combo superiority cause British system).
Chinese are bizarre and at times scary: one is shocked to see the disdain they hold of other cultures (particularly Eastern Europeans, Arabs) underneath their self-depreciating cultural mannerisms.
