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

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

Honestly it's either or. I knew a couple of guys back in uni, one Indian the other Pakistani and they were really tight. Maybe it's just the narrow minded bigots who blindly hate another because of political history rather than treat them as an individual.

Also knew an Israeli and a Palestinian (weren't tight as such but were friendly with each other).

Honestly, it's a love-hate relationship. There's nobody they hate more than the other, at the same time there's nobody who understands them better than the other.

Even then, the hate is mostly political. It's politically beneficial to both countries to keep the hate flowing.

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

[–] [email protected] 10 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 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...

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Is it because you're pulling your eyes closed?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago
