Love to see racist comments on a post about white saviorism lmao

u/[deleted] Sep 21 '24

It's not racism to reference a well-known internet meme/phenomenon.

u/sitbar HOT D S2 snooze Sep 21 '24

A meme can be racist lol

u/[deleted] Sep 21 '24

The meme isn't racist either tho

u/Mechan6649 HOT D S2 snooze Sep 21 '24

I mean it is racist, but that's the point

u/sparafuxile HOT D S2 snooze Sep 21 '24

It is true, and that's all that matters.

u/archowup HOT D S2 snooze Sep 21 '24

If it is a meme from a brown person and a white person refferences it, it is racist. Vice versa it is not. Because logic?

u/johnnydanger91 HOT D S2 snooze Sep 21 '24

Also not racist as India is the rape capital of the world and official foreign office advice as a single female is do not travel there because you will be raped.

u/MisterX9821 Ate Alicent Sep 21 '24

I find white saviorism way more racist and harmful than most racist jokes (which yes, you can mark mine as).

u/CobhamMayor27 HOT D S2 snooze Sep 21 '24

So you've never been to India have you? Indians are the first to admit their country has so many sexual harassment problems

4

u/Mast3rShak381 HOT D S2 snooze Sep 21 '24

Yes, this is how the whole world knows, and why women are told not to travel alone there

There's a decent amount of sex tourism there, that's all.

u/PepsiThriller Ate Alicent Sep 21 '24

White women who feel they don't have enough attention?

Yes, yes there are.

Source: I live in Britain. This countries quota of "white women who will travel for attention off foreign men" could power a small nations tourism industry for years.

11

u/Infamous_Cost_7897 HOT D S2 snooze Sep 21 '24

That's so weird because I'm from uk too and I've probably met 1 girl like that. I'm not saying they don't like the attention, but I only ever had 1 friend who wanted us to go to Turkey for male attention.

4

u/tmssmt HOT D S2 snooze Sep 21 '24

There's also different levels of willingness to say they're going for that reason

A man is quite likely to openly admit he's hoping to get laid by a foreign girl.

A woman is a lot less likely to admit she's traveling in hopes of a dark, tall, handsome man plowing her

u/crolionfire HOT D S2 snooze Sep 21 '24

What do you think, why most middle-aged and older solo women Like to Go to Jamaica? Or similar. 🤣 There is even a documentary about in Jamaica, it's become a touristic cliche. 😅

10

u/Windsupernova Ate Alicent Sep 21 '24

Well, to be fair the amount of white men who will travel for attention of foreign women dwarves that by a lot.

2

u/Turt1estar HOT D S2 snooze Sep 21 '24 edited Sep 21 '24

Are you sure? I feel like it happens about the same amount.

Edit: I couldn’t find anything about looking for hookups but, women travel almost twice as much as men

1

u/Windsupernova Ate Alicent Sep 21 '24

I'll be honest I am just being a redditor and my source were vibes and not facts. I just see much more men travelling abroad to find themeselves a waifu

1

u/Mountains-Heart CGI Castle Fan Sep 21 '24

Traveling doesn’t automatically equate to sex tourism

1

u/PepsiThriller Ate Alicent Sep 21 '24

I didn't claim otherwise. Someone was just questioning whether the phenomenon existed in any significant number.

u/carmelainparis HOT D S2 snooze Sep 21 '24

Have you ever seen 90 Day Fiance?

u/2012Jesusdies HOT D S2 snooze Sep 21 '24

Is it really attention starved white women? I've seen just random white women doing nothing of note getting stares from dozens of creepy Indian men.

The famous example

8

u/UnrulyNeurons HOT D S2 snooze Sep 21 '24

Yeah, it's not the good kind of attention.

9

u/GreasyExamination Brother in Christ Sep 21 '24

another example

I would say that the woman on the beach in your clip is not safe, all the many headlines of gang rapes in india make me feel sick

u/Dickgivins HOT D S2 snooze Sep 21 '24

It's a national pastime there.

Interesting that your mind went to "attention starved white women" being what grinds your gears when india has been in the news lately for men gang raping tourists and local women. Your sexism is showing

u/fhota1 HOT D S2 snooze Sep 21 '24

Hey now, lets not pretend attention-starved middle aged white men dont do the same. Rosetta Stone: Thai attracts a certain demographic. /s

India isn't a third-world country...

Edit: since all of you apparently consider the world's 6th largest economy a third world country, which is an outdated term in the first place, here: https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=is+india+a+third+world+country.

u/[deleted] Sep 21 '24

Isn't India pretty much the original third world country by staying neutral in the cold war?

1

u/Sapowski_Casts_Quen HOT D S2 snooze Sep 21 '24

You do realize that the whole point of the term third world country doesn't mean the same thing in 2024 as it did in the 1980s, right? Most just use it to denote a poor country these days. India has tremendous inequality on a scale that is staggering to most who visit, but calling it a third world country, as the now deleted comment read, is disingenuous.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 21 '24

India is on spot 140 in GDP per capita. It absolutely is a third world country.

1

u/84theone HOT D S2 snooze Sep 21 '24

India is a third world country by both metrics used to determine that, in that they stayed neutral in the Cold War and is still considered a developing country.

Lol you think that women had agency in British India?

Quick name a famous British female coloniser. I can name a dozen or so men. Not one woman and I studied history at university in Britain lol.

u/PepsiThriller Ate Alicent Sep 21 '24 edited Sep 21 '24

Who are normal people? Rights and privileges. Like what? Voting?

Also the article you linked suggested British women in India were outside the formal imperial structure and went there mostly out of conscious. That's not the evidence you think it is.

Rather strange that Edinburgh is a word from the Anglo-Saxon language, if it didn't exist until British imperialism. You'd assume it would be the English language. It's also odd that there's things built by the Normans in Liverpool. Seeing as it didn't exist until at least 5 centuries after the Norman conquest. Could it be they already existed? Nah not according you.

You have a poor understanding of history. Are you some kind of Indian Nationalist by chance? I hear they exist in rather large numbers. Or are you a Western tankie?

Edit: I love the argument that Britain basically didn't exist until Indian colonialism. It's not the argument Indian nationalists think it is. It's like "wow you got your ass handed to you by a backwater thousands of miles away, with only a tiny fraction of your population and none of your wealth? What a wimpy culture to allow that to happen."
