Being Indian, it was a constant source of annoyance for me how hating on India and Indians was normalized, and almost seen as cool on Reddit. I haven’t seen it on Lemmy so far.

It was weird, since hating black people or asians was frowned upon (as it should be). But for some reason, Indians were fair game.

Gotta say, it feels better when people don’t try to insult you for your identity. I never took them seriously, but it was very annoying indeed.

    Hate speech is bothersome to me in at you can’t tell if it’s real sometimes. I hated being slurred on even if it was fake. Welcome.
