      It’s not racism of you believe those people were born into a lower caste because of their actions in a previous life. It is their punishment and thus you should treat them like shit!

      Not racism. They’re the same race. It’s a class system where your future occupation is set in stone at birth based on your lineage. You can literally be born and your only future career prospect is becoming a latrine cleaner.

      Technically it’s bigotry since it’s Indians hating other Indians, but yes, India has a lot of problems and those in power mostly ignore them.

    I hate it. It’s why you have a lot of immigrant Indian men up-and-coming in the US Republican party and US conservatives in general.

    Indian conservatism is just as bullshit if not moreso than US conservatism.

    What makes this meme even better is the guy in the picture, Shah Rukh Khan, is a legend in Bollywood. Indian Tom Cruise. I’m pretty sure he has written in his contracts that all close ups require a fan in his face to make it look like his hair is gently blowing in the wind.
