Probably. Indians are notoriously racist due to their caste system that still persists to this day.
We need a caste system with wokeydokes at the very bottom.
Currently we have a (shrouded) caste system with conservatives at the very bottom.
The Wokeydokes!
Ah, I kind of love that.
This may be effective rhetoric in the near future. Traditionally, holding leftists to their standards has never worked, but I believe the racial makeup of the world is more deeply embedded in our consciousness than it appears.
On the other hand, our status quo was recently demonstrated in the MMA scene when Dricus Du Plessis, a South African white guy, said that he was the only African fighter training in Africa since all the other top African UFC fighters train in Western countries. This sent the Nigerian born champ at the time, Israel Adesanya, into a racial tizzy that culminated with calling DDP a nigga on live PPV. Interestingly, the fanbase mostly agrees that Adesanya is in the wrong because, in the postracial definition of a nation, DDP being white shouldn't matter, even in Africa.
Since then, DDP has won the championship belt, proclaimed a victory for racial pluralism in South Africa of all places, and returned home to a cheering multiracial crowd in Johannesburg. It's pretty cool to see a white guy accomplish an event like that, but at the same time one can't help but see it as a racial band aid. The reality of race has not really set in for the majority of people.
A video already surfaced of him in a gay nightclub kissing a guy who isn't his partner. Talking about that was homophobic though.
I assume shit is about to hit the fan regarding the economy and this rat is abandoning ship.
