A school teacher in India has subjected a seven-year-old Muslim student to degrading treatment inside a classroom, asking his classmates to slap him and asking for him to be evicted due to his religion, a video now viral on social media has revealed.
The video, which surfaced on Friday, showed Trapta Tyagi, the teacher at the school in Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous state, making Islamophobic remarks in addition to encouraging other students to slap him harder.
One might come to the conclusion that all of India is just a comically evil racist, classist, sexist and a lot of other bad -ists society while reading news about it.
Talk to a dark skin person of lower caste its not great
Are you a brahmin or why would you describe talking to someone from a lower caste as ‘not great’?
Just kidding.
Like they talk to anyone of a lower class lol
I guess they are saying that if you speak to a person of lower caste, especially of dark skin you will understand their struggle. (But I am a naive person so my explanation might be hopelessly optimistic about people)
There’s also the 2nd level of hell that is being born in the right sub-caste in a specific caste.
Going out on a limb here to guess that “Hank” has never been to India?
There’s a whole lot of crazy bad but also an incredible amount of absurdly beautiful. I think unfortunately the worldview in India accepts both equally and generally believes, in the words of Bruce Hornsby or Tupac, that’s just the way it is.
If your worldview accepts horribly bad and good, it’s still horribly bad. You can’t wash that away with some good.
I don’t disagree at all. And if your worldview allows you to paint 1.4B people with the same brush based on the news you’ve read, also quite horribly bad (and pretty fucking racist) IMO.
You’ve changed my mind.
Like all the poor innocent Germans who were lumped in with the government they voted for, supported, and allowed to exist.
It was wrong to call them Nazis and disapprove of the genocide they were committing!
Ding ding ding we got a Godwin 🔔🔔
Ironic, you quote Godwins law but even Godwin himself has said such a mention is not cause for ending a conversation.
So instead of missing the point of Godwins law like you have, instead focus on what was said: Why seperate Indians from their state, but not do so with other notable examples of genocide commiters?
I imagine most stories of people helping old windows, adopting children, and being best friends with another race don’t make the international news.
Man bites dog.
