What is weird is your stance on this topic; trying to intellectualise something that you have no real understanding or insight to speak about.
You come across as having zero empathy. I’m not the weird one, I’m calling you out as you deserve.

‘Believing people carry no trauma after child sexual abuse because they told you so is just retarded.’

Statistics apply to populations not individuals. People are different, I do not pretend to understand psychology. If people convincingly say something about themselves, I believe them. Some commit suicide after failing exams, some go into drugs because they can’t get internship, some top the department after being dumped, some score centuries after cremating their father. I do not buy the everyone is trauma, everything is trauma nautanki especially when there are first hand testimonies.

‘Calling people who “have no trauma” more resilient is just plain retarded.’

Resilience literally means ‘the ability to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions’. Why are you acting weird? Won’t even get you anything.

Believing people carry no trauma after child sexual abuse because they told you so is just retarded.

Calling people who “have no trauma” more resilient is just plain retarded.

I agree it is just one generic way to insult someone in South Asia (call them black)

What I mean is the desire to hurl racial insult stems from religious animosity.

Whereas in the west someone calling me a jihadi terrorist, or dot head or something is hurling a religious insult but it stems from racial animosity.

Hope that makes sense.

only europeans and to some extent africans don’t care about skin color. Iranians call Pakistanis blacks. chinese consider ‘black’ an insult

Sumit, racial/skin color comments are made by every group, and it rings much more when made towards Indians because Indic ethnic groups are quite sensitive about skincolor than other groups since they all want to have lighter skin. This is one of the things, that has no religious angle towards it, since racial insults are directly prohibited in Islam, in Quran, Hadith and other texts, so it would be cognitive dissonance. Otherwise, everyone makes racial comments against each other, this is common even within India.

arabs turks and iranians perceive/view subcontinental muslims as *hindus* 🙂

This is non-obvious to Indian Hindus who will incorrectly assume Muslims outside subcontinent give a shit.

So then Hindu right wingers also start to give a shit about stuff like the Israel / Palestinian thing for eg. In reality Palestinians / Arabs have very little animosity towards Hindus and there is no reason for Indian Hindus to actively cultivate this animosity.

I also think sub-continental Muslims also have a much greater animus towards Hindus than non-subcontinental Muslims.

Fundamentally I think identitarian nationalist politics in the subcontinent is religious while in Europe it is racial.

Sometimes Pakistanis make racial comments about hindus being darker etc. But I think that is mostly driven by religious sentiment as well.
