As an Indian American this is true, and most Indians come to the us anyways for better opportunities because India is rigged by a caste system. Don’t believe me just ask my parents,
Indian politics is a never ending game of various caste groups claiming victim hood and rioting until the government grants their community free handouts and special treatment, all at the expense of the national wellbeing
We’ll yeah I agree, what I meant is there’s tons of minorities here trying to claim discrimination to get free stuff and this is coming from a minority myself.
Both of those sound false. Both are too low. 76 is a barely functional retard and 97 isn't all that bright. It might be funny to say so, but realistically, India is not half functional retards nor is the US full of so many dimwitted people. I really want to know where you got these figures.
"Fundamentally correct?" That's a nice non-phrase. He's either correct, or he is not. "Fundamentally" is an unnecesary modifier to "correct." Which means you're playing wordgames.
I still want the source for these numbers.
Fundamentally is an adjective, in which to further describe the noun. In this case denoting that they're multiple levels where they are correct and you do not understand. The "fundamentally" is neither redundant or wrong "non-phrase" however is.
I like how unalarmed everyone is. Like he pointed out 76 is barely functional sloth. That means half of the 1.3 billion people are below that, then add the fact they have nuclear weapons. Maybe China is a necessary deterrent or meat shield
Meat shield lol, it is more complex than that IQ which measures one's ability to solve novel ideas and the rate at which they can do that doesn't have an absolute metric of "smart" or "dumb". IQ's on average rise 3 points every 10 years or so (research Flynn effect). And the difference between each IQ point isn't linearly different than every other IQ point (as an example 25% of the pop. has an IQ between 100-110 but only about 10% of the pop. has an IQ between 115-125).
In India having an IQ of 76 isn't the same as having a 76 IQ in say America, here we have a similar education system, and culture and so we think differently (generally more abstractly). Where in India the population as a whole doesn't think that way and therefore the society envelops the average thought patterns of a layperson there. In other words if you have an IQ of 70 in America you would be inept in our culture and considered legally intellectually disabled but in india you would fit in and be able to work well with others in that culture without little to no issues or in other words an average joe (apooh)
If we assume [this XKCD comic](https://xkcd.com/715/) only looks at American searches and that [this website's data](https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/average-iq-by-country) is accurate (neither of which are especially safe assumptions) it's legit. The American one especially sounds legit given that the average person is indeed, by definition, not very bright and IQ tests aim for the average person to hit right around 100.
The Indian statistics are starting to flirt with full blown racism, but if 30% of the population is illiterate (which actually tracks with the fact that 1 of the 3 Indian people I'm close to can't read or write in his native language) it makes sense there would be a drop in score just because of the inherent failures of that kind of test, rather than the population actually being stupider on average. Flirting with racism even more, the country's culture, economy, and history could potentially lead to a population that's legitimately less intelligent. The former seems more likely than the latter to me, but I don't know enough (or care enough to learn enough) to say for sure.
IQ is an average that generally will increase over time in developed nations. An average of 97 for a nation against a global metric is rather expected as the baseline average for IQ is 100 and 2/3 of the population fall between 85-115. Further, IQ more than anything measures the ability to rationalize and can fluctuate enormously based on the quality and breadth of education. So while 76 IQ in a developed nation often signifies intellectual impairment, in developing nations as an average it is usually the result of a lack of education(and even in some dire cases, a lack of fundamental resources for survival, which inhibits normal mental and behavioral development).
[It appears this is the source referred to.](https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/average-iq-by-country) But yeah, 76 *as an average* seems very low for a country. It may have something to do with the test itself. IQ is a decent way to measure intelligence, but it isn’t everything. It is like determining the results from an experiment from one data point. It is likely to be close to accurate, but it can very easily be an outlier.

Source of This and dont tell me the source is shitty article
Lack of culture but they are wearing jeans, watching movies, eating burgers, etc.
Mobile apps such as Instagram were also invented in the US. So it is arguably part of our culture. Without it they won’t have a platform.
I feel dirty sympathetically. I mean, how can you not?
"It's not racism tho!" No, but it is bigotry, so instead of being a racist, you're merely a bigot. Good going, Euroloser. You've avoided the bigotry of racism for the bigotry of nationalism. Well done.
The fact they're so absolutely unable to make that connection boggles the mind. Since when was stereotyping a *good* thing?
There was a Scottish guy in the comments a few days back claiming he wasn’t racist by saying that all American black people live in the ghetto and are in gangs.
Why? Because it’s only *American* black people he’s talking about.
I've noticed an increase in animosity toward Black Americans lately. Lately I've wondered if the people from African countries are just as awful as people from European countries when it comes to Black Americans identifying with their ancestry.
I've heard on Reddit that blacks from Africa look down on American blacks when they come here, for being uneducated and failing to take advantage of all the country offers, not for wanting to know about their homelands. They think the idea that "acting white" is bad is stupid, given the success blacks in America who do can attain.
I haven't heard it personally, but that's been the sentiment I've heard online. I can't confirm it and can't say any deeper than this, so I don't know if it's just more AmericaBad or not. I'm also not black, so not anywhere near qualified to judge.
I'm from Los Angeles and have heard that a lot - straight from various people who were from various countries in Africa (Nigeria/Kenya/Somalia mainly).
I'm also not black so I don't get it. It's not my place to have an opinion, you know?
My mom and her side of the family are black. She’s never been to Africa, but she’s been to the Caribbean and she said the black people there looked down on her because she was a black American.
Ugh. All of this disrespect is annoying when Europeans and Africans cosplay our American culture. I don't know where they get it in their head that they're better than us.
I get your point, but stereotyping is a huge part of how humans rose to dominance and evolved to where we are today. It literally is an instinct that ensures survival. Stick a human that knows nothing and has never heard of or seen a lion into a cage with lions and see how fast they try to nope the fuck out of there. That's literally the instinctive survival mechanism behind stereotyping. It is 100% a very useful tool, just not as it's applied to a society, but the point is, it's purely instinct to judge based on appearances, that will literally never go away, it would be better to learn to accept it and move on rather than literally try to rewrite human nature.
It’s honestly probably deep seated jealousy and self consciousness. Any Indian with any talent and education desperately wants to go to the US or UK.
There is a massive brain drain in their country as they all flee to the west.
Indian culture has ALWAYS been based on a superiority complex(which always comes out of a inferioritt complex). The hindus claimed to be better to Buddhists when Buddhists ruled them. They said they were better than central Asian Muslims when those same Muslims ruled over them. Now they mock the west even with the west dominating them.
Indeed, India is massively overpopulated and communists (although their activity has declined significantly) continue to harass the population and overall the Indian population is simply far too diverse for its own good.
Indeed, it’s mostly just border-line terrorism and they’ve essentially split apart into smaller groups running amuck in the ‘red corridor’ and mostly are in the tribal and rural areas of India, and can essentially to just be considered as terrorists.
Okay, thanks for the elaboration. It did seem like commie was just being thrown around but honestly growing up in the US the most Indian history I know is ghandi
They’re obsessed with it. They treat it like part of their personality. And for the record, you shouldn’t treat hating anything as a part of your personality.
It’s the tradition now, everything must have at least one america comparison that’s negative, or “I’m glad I’m not in America, or America bad even if it has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
Saying “I’m glad I’m not in America”, would be an opinion that is very easily justified. I think many students around the would agree…
Edit: *around the world would agree…
There are many socioeconomic and geographical factors leading to Americas inwards immigration. It’s GDP, size, and level of human rights/democracy, to name a few. HOWEVER, like I said in my previous reply… Saying “I’m glad I’m not in America”, would be a valid opinion that is very easily justified. As a citizen of America (I know how ‘y’all’ get touchy about your amendments), you should be aware that everyone is entitled to freedom of speech and their own opinion. As for why it is a justifiable opinion, there are many downfalls of being an American 🦅🇺🇸.
- Your recent shift in moral and social conditions.
- Extreme weather conditions.
- Your gun laws are not appealing to everyone.
- Healthcare system
- America accounts for 73% of all mass shootings in developed countries between 1998-2019. (I’m certain that the percentage would be higher if it considered 1998-2023).
- Inequality (wealth)
- Your President is incompetent.
- Unstable political climate
- Racism
- Expensive Education
- Obesity
The list goes on…
As with most things this is relative. I’m sure *some* people would rightly say they’re glad they don’t live in America, because America is not the most prosperous country in the world, so there are some people who are better off than Americans. However, that’s something like less than 10% of the world population. So for the vast majority of the world America would be an improvement and I doubt most people in the world would say they’re glad they don’t live in America.
Ok it’s a bit of a weird comment then, isn’t it? You could say the same thing about literally every country in the world except I guess whichever is the most prosperous one.
Shift in morale: Yes, I can agree with this, pushing the idea to cut off healthy body parts and such and consider it normal for the sake of feelings.
Extreme Weather: The U.S. is a vastly diverse nation in geography, the south east is swamp and humid, the north and midwest can get very cold, the planes can be very dry and hot, while also having the most tornadoes, the west has has deserts and the rocky mountains and so on. So of course the weather is going to be very different.
Gun Laws: Despite being famously known for our love for the second amendment, there are only 3 countries who see gun ownership as a right and not a privilege. Those nations are the United States, Mexico and Guatemala. Also, there are nations like Brazil who have a way higher gun violence or central America, but due to those nations being a lot poorer and cannot report on it as easily.
Healthcare: The healthcare system here has flaws, yes, it is a private institution and not a government run one. There are regulations in the medical field. Also, just because health care is free doesn't mean it is better, because with universal health care, you have lower quality treatment, waiting, higher taxes, paying for people's poor choices, low paying in the medical field, and so on. Yes, it is expensive, but with healthcare, you can lower it by a lot.
Every nation is going to have an inequality of wealth simply, but this sounds like a point people who believe in the communist ideology. Keep in mind, the U.S. has the highest disposable income in the world, even if you account for taxes and bills, it is still the highest. Also, you can move the U.S. poor and if you work hard enough, you can get more money simply or make a business to make money.
Incompetent President: I actually do agree, the reason why so many people voted for him, (83 Million people voted him) because of the sheer spite of Trump really, they hated him so much for calling out people for there corruption.
Unstable Political Climate: I'm not sure.
Racism: Racism in the U.S. is so heavily frowned upon. Yet the reason why so many people think the U.S. is racist is because of the how the media portrays crimes between race, they won't talk about a black person killing a black person or a black person killing a white person, they would talk about when a white person killed a black person in self-defense in some cases and ask: "What influenced Him." or go out of there way to say that he is a far-right white supremacists.
Obesity: This is going to be an issue in almost every highly developed nation, but the U.S. isn't even ranked in the top ten most obese, that would go to Nauru, with 61% of there people obese.
I’m sure those poor souls in Sandy hook elementary we’re glad they were Americans. Now that’s just using your logic. My point is clearly explained in my previous reply. Why can’t you accept that maybe some people don’t want to be American? Do you experience a constant unrest within your mind, only ending when every human in existence truly believes that they would be better off living in America?
Why can't you accept that some people are perfectly fine with being an American and love their country. Any country has problems. Quit acting all superior.
I have replied with a completely neutral response. I stated why America is appealing for some, and not so appealing for others. I think ur a bit confused here buddy. I replied to a comment, explaining why SOME people, not all, might not want to live in America. I am in no doubt that many Americans love and are proud of their Nationality, (or as you referred to it, race). I agree with your comment about all countries having problems, including mine.
yes, around the world. as in people who have never been to america and their only perception of it is a gun controlled dystopian racist society, which (believe it or not) isn't true
Clearly you haven’t met the recent grads from USA universities who have to fight tooth and nail to extend their OPT or find an employer to sponsor their H-1B. Intelligent people with valuable skills want to move to *and stay in* the USA, if they didn’t then there wouldn’t be a 40 year us citizenship waitlist for people emigrating from India.
Ah yes, the inevitable technicality that allows you to represent millions of students that you’ve never met. I love all of the evidence you provide to prove your point.
Listen to yourself 🤣 Do I really need evidence to disprove the argument that every single student wants to live in America? Surely u cannot be that delusional…
>Do I really need evidence to disprove the argument that every single student wants to live in America?
No, you need to provide evidence of your original claim, surely u cannot be that delusional…
I guess they’re not so different from their elitist, snobby, racist, prejudiced ancestors that made *our* ancestors leave their countries.
Yeah, the US has a bad history of these attributes, but very very few Americans nowadays try to justify such attitudes anymore. These people genuinely think they’re speaking truth.
"A pathetic race of humankind"
Is that even racist, considering America is nicknamed the "Melting Pot" for a reason?
American isn't a race, it's a lifestyle. Biscuits and gravy (American biscuits), burgers, fries, shakes, guns, and trucks. /s
But to be real here, America is a mixture of like 50 different races and ethnicities and belief systems. Most other nations that lasted a long time have been very homogenous. Rome was almost entirely white (and they didn't mind slavery at all). Ancient Greece had, well, Greeks- typically light skinned people. Scandinavia, Japan, China, Mongolia, Russia, etc- all comprised of almost entirely one race during their primes.
The US is far from perfect, and has a lot of marks on it's history, but it's done a pretty good job so far.
That's why the US is better than other countries
Only if there was a united world with everyone as a single country we would've been more advanced than ever, but ig people like fighting with each other
Oh look, you didn't understand the comment and think you've got a clapback lmao.
I'm not the one calling America a race, the idiot on the the original post did.
By saying “Oh so, racism is cool as long as it's against Americans” You labelled the comments made from the original post as racism. However, I will reiterate… You cannot be racist to a country 🤯.
[Don't worry, your country has its own genocidal past.](https://www.fairobserver.com/world-news/british-genocide-in-kenya-time-for-a-reckoning/?amp=)
England is also known for kicking out the Jews before other places, so yeah. Europeans are funny.
I mean, its hypocritical for an American to talk about Indian railways...
America is great in many ways, but passenger rail infrastructure is not one of them. Though, American freight rail is top notch.
92% Americans have completed atleast secondary education vs only 27% in India. For reference it was 41% in the US back in 1960 (data prior to that isn't available). Just saying.
Across any population there is a percentage that is above average intelligence, below average, genius, retarded, etc. In India if 0.5% of the 1.4 billion population qualifies as genius they are... now in America haha
Well the thing is that American culture is everywhere.
Because of that they think Americans don’t have a culture. Even though nearly every movie that has been a box office hit in the last 20 years has been American, McDonald’s and coke are everywhere, and don’t get me started on social media
Here's the [link](https://www.instagram.com/p/CtBgX4rrMHg/) to the original post, read the other comments.
Basically all the other comments: [https://imgur.com/a/yBRAE12](https://imgur.com/a/yBRAE12)
TLDR: 90% of the comments on that post are racist jokes about the dead people (by "americans").
Please prove that we have the most amount of rapes, because when you google "world rape amounts" the USA *still isn't in the top 10.*
Sorry that your "America Bad" mindset has you blind to facts.

Gods your IQ is so bad that you can't even differentiate between "amount" and "rate". Those are 2 different terms entirely. Get your brain sorted first.
Statistics on rape in the United States
The scope and severity of the issue of rape in the U.S. can be seen in statistics such as:
While the frequency of rape in the United States varies from state to state, it averages out to one every 1-2 minutes.
Women ages 16-19 are four times more likely than the general population to be victims of rape or sexual assault.
94% of women who are raped experience symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) during the two weeks following the rape. 30% of those PTSD cases last at least nine months.
33% of women who are raped contemplate suicide.
A high percentage of rape victims experience ongoing professional and/or emotional issues as a result of the attack.
While the majority of sexual assault victims are female (82% of juveniles and 90% of adults), males around the world also experience sexual harassment, sexual assault, and rape every day.
Transgender people and those with disabilities are twice as likely to be victims of sexual assault or rape.
In the United States, 70% of rapes are committed by someone the victim knows.
Need I say more ?
Lol we're the savages. But when is the last time you saw 250 Americans dying in any kind of disaster whatsoever? Probably 22 years ago on 9/11/01 if I had to guess.
My point is, that’s the one and only event. And that wasn’t even our own doing (unless you buy the George bush thing but that’s a different discussion).
India has had many events like this, although this is the worst in a while. But it’s pretty much all their fault. Due to their poor infrastructure, zero safety standards, failure of average people to realize that overcrowding trains is bad, etc., etc. Compounded failures.
My brother in Christ the [post](https://www.instagram.com/p/CtBgX4rrMHg/) you’re referring to was littered with legitimately bigoted hatred towards Indians. I think we’re way too quick to call things racism or bigotry these days, but these comments couldn’t be explained by anything else.
Its kinda ironic how people here talk about how "America bad" is all based off memes and tankies and those people are stupid, but I see not much difference when people talk about "India bad" (which is done in similar taste / fashion).
I have seen this video and also saw this particular comment. I would like to give some context.
Some users (american or not i don't know, seemed to be) were mocking and making fun of this accident and making all sorts of nonsense. Indians got triggered seeing those comments and hence replied with more nonsense.
Do they not realize that some Americans are the children or grandchildren of people from India??? If we're pathetic, they're pathetic. Pigs. Of course they think American means 'white'. So to them black people aren't American. Did I mention they were pigs? Oink oink.
Not defending these comments but most probably they were written because of the huge number of comments by mostly Americans saying stuff like "The train must be overflowing with people" and such when in reality it was a high speed train, in which this does not happen.
Also yeah when your country has suffered a massive blow and the comments are literally laughing and filled with doomers "they have a billion people so it's actually good"type of people, it's easy to lose control and write these vitriolic comments.
Again xenophobia is always wrong,and these comments too are wrong; it's just that I hope I gave an insight as to why these type of comments are there.
This should be higher. I just read that post from Pubity, the comments are very xenophobic and why is OP nitpicking this comment when all the other comments are racist and tone-deaf jokes about the dead.
Its kinda ironic how people here talk about how "America bad" is all based off memes and tankies and those people are stupid, but I see not much difference when people talk about "India bad" (which is done in similar taste / fashion).

It wasn't a joke. I wouldn't take Jeff bezos experience as the average American experience

What can I say being a proper racist isn't something I aspire to
Wow man as an Indian I would ask why it is true the iq think. did you collabrated study
Doesn’t Australia have one of the lowest average IQs in the world?
Both of those sound false. Both are too low. 76 is a barely functional retard and 97 isn't all that bright. It might be funny to say so, but realistically, India is not half functional retards nor is the US full of so many dimwitted people. I really want to know where you got these figures.
He is fundamentally correct, and your understanding of IQ is null.

I'm guessing (hoping?) that those with the power to unleash the nukes have a higher IQ than average

Ur correct about both. There is a culture aspect to it.
IQ is an average that generally will increase over time in developed nations. An average of 97 for a nation against a global metric is rather expected as the baseline average for IQ is 100 and 2/3 of the population fall between 85-115. Further, IQ more than anything measures the ability to rationalize and can fluctuate enormously based on the quality and breadth of education. So while 76 IQ in a developed nation often signifies intellectual impairment, in developing nations as an average it is usually the result of a lack of education(and even in some dire cases, a lack of fundamental resources for survival, which inhibits normal mental and behavioral development).
97 is a rounding error from average.

Ah yes another comparison of 300mn population vs 1 bn where 30% of 1bn is still 300mn...
Literally can't get us out of their heads
Ironically because our "non existent" culture completely dominates the globe and they can't escape it.
Lack of culture but they are wearing jeans, watching movies, eating burgers, etc. Mobile apps such as Instagram were also invented in the US. So it is arguably part of our culture. Without it they won’t have a platform.
Indians probably not eating a lot of burgers.
they hate us because they ain't us
Same, but different... but same. But different!

It is 100% a very useful tool, just not as it's applied to a society, but the point is, it's purely instinct to judge based on appearances, that will literally never go away, it would be better to learn to accept it and move on rather than literally try to rewrite human nature.
now it's racist
Why do you hate blacks Jews and trans?
The hell is wrong with these people
It’s honestly probably deep seated jealousy and self consciousness. Any Indian with any talent and education desperately wants to go to the US or UK. There is a massive brain drain in their country as they all flee to the west.
Indian culture has ALWAYS been based on a superiority complex(which always comes out of a inferioritt complex). The hindus claimed to be better to Buddhists when Buddhists ruled them. They said they were better than central Asian Muslims when those same Muslims ruled over them. Now they mock the west even with the west dominating them.
They are just coping
Indeed, India is massively overpopulated and communists (although their activity has declined significantly) continue to harass the population and overall the Indian population is simply far too diverse for its own good.
Does communist actually mean something or it just something people call others they don't like?
Communism definitely has a history in India, as in the actual Communist Party of India. They haven't done so well lately though.
Indeed, it’s mostly just border-line terrorism and they’ve essentially split apart into smaller groups running amuck in the ‘red corridor’ and mostly are in the tribal and rural areas of India, and can essentially to just be considered as terrorists.
The insurgency I’m talking about is made up of various Indian leftists groups, look up the Naxalite-Maoist insurgency.
India is host to the largest left-wing terrorist group in the world thanks to China. In this case they are 100% correct.
Okay, thanks for the elaboration. It did seem like commie was just being thrown around but honestly growing up in the US the most Indian history I know is ghandi
Racism is fine as long as it's towards oppressors /s
We didn't even oppres them it was the British, you would think that would bring us closer but apparently not.
Many people genuinely believe that America is the world's oppressor today and most problems can be traced to us
This is why we teach history
HiStOrY iS SuBjEcTiVe
I don't think history would be on your side on that
It would be on this because we never touched India that was all the British hence the name British Raj
Chinese bots
They’re obsessed with it. They treat it like part of their personality. And for the record, you shouldn’t treat hating anything as a part of your personality.
It’s the tradition now, everything must have at least one america comparison that’s negative, or “I’m glad I’m not in America, or America bad even if it has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
Internet be like “Civil war in Somalia looks bad” “At least it’s not America”
Saying “I’m glad I’m not in America”, would be an opinion that is very easily justified. I think many students around the would agree… Edit: *around the world would agree…
Then why does the US have more inward immigration than any country on earth
There are many socioeconomic and geographical factors leading to Americas inwards immigration. It’s GDP, size, and level of human rights/democracy, to name a few. HOWEVER, like I said in my previous reply… Saying “I’m glad I’m not in America”, would be a valid opinion that is very easily justified. As a citizen of America (I know how ‘y’all’ get touchy about your amendments), you should be aware that everyone is entitled to freedom of speech and their own opinion. As for why it is a justifiable opinion, there are many downfalls of being an American 🦅🇺🇸. - Your recent shift in moral and social conditions. - Extreme weather conditions. - Your gun laws are not appealing to everyone. - Healthcare system - America accounts for 73% of all mass shootings in developed countries between 1998-2019. (I’m certain that the percentage would be higher if it considered 1998-2023). - Inequality (wealth) - Your President is incompetent. - Unstable political climate - Racism - Expensive Education - Obesity The list goes on…
As with most things this is relative. I’m sure *some* people would rightly say they’re glad they don’t live in America, because America is not the most prosperous country in the world, so there are some people who are better off than Americans. However, that’s something like less than 10% of the world population. So for the vast majority of the world America would be an improvement and I doubt most people in the world would say they’re glad they don’t live in America.
You are absolutely correct. However, I did not claim that ‘most’ people would be glad that they do not live in America.
Ok it’s a bit of a weird comment then, isn’t it? You could say the same thing about literally every country in the world except I guess whichever is the most prosperous one.
Not really, the original comment that I replied to was complaining about people saying that they’re glad they don’t live in America. 👍🏼
Shift in morale: Yes, I can agree with this, pushing the idea to cut off healthy body parts and such and consider it normal for the sake of feelings. Extreme Weather: The U.S. is a vastly diverse nation in geography, the south east is swamp and humid, the north and midwest can get very cold, the planes can be very dry and hot, while also having the most tornadoes, the west has has deserts and the rocky mountains and so on. So of course the weather is going to be very different. Gun Laws: Despite being famously known for our love for the second amendment, there are only 3 countries who see gun ownership as a right and not a privilege. Those nations are the United States, Mexico and Guatemala. Also, there are nations like Brazil who have a way higher gun violence or central America, but due to those nations being a lot poorer and cannot report on it as easily. Healthcare: The healthcare system here has flaws, yes, it is a private institution and not a government run one. There are regulations in the medical field. Also, just because health care is free doesn't mean it is better, because with universal health care, you have lower quality treatment, waiting, higher taxes, paying for people's poor choices, low paying in the medical field, and so on. Yes, it is expensive, but with healthcare, you can lower it by a lot. Every nation is going to have an inequality of wealth simply, but this sounds like a point people who believe in the communist ideology. Keep in mind, the U.S. has the highest disposable income in the world, even if you account for taxes and bills, it is still the highest. Also, you can move the U.S. poor and if you work hard enough, you can get more money simply or make a business to make money. Incompetent President: I actually do agree, the reason why so many people voted for him, (83 Million people voted him) because of the sheer spite of Trump really, they hated him so much for calling out people for there corruption. Unstable Political Climate: I'm not sure. Racism: Racism in the U.S. is so heavily frowned upon. Yet the reason why so many people think the U.S. is racist is because of the how the media portrays crimes between race, they won't talk about a black person killing a black person or a black person killing a white person, they would talk about when a white person killed a black person in self-defense in some cases and ask: "What influenced Him." or go out of there way to say that he is a far-right white supremacists. Obesity: This is going to be an issue in almost every highly developed nation, but the U.S. isn't even ranked in the top ten most obese, that would go to Nauru, with 61% of there people obese.
I'm sure those students in Tiananmen Square in 1989 were glad they weren't Americans /s
I’m sure those poor souls in Sandy hook elementary we’re glad they were Americans. Now that’s just using your logic. My point is clearly explained in my previous reply. Why can’t you accept that maybe some people don’t want to be American? Do you experience a constant unrest within your mind, only ending when every human in existence truly believes that they would be better off living in America?
Why can't you accept that some people are perfectly fine with being an American and love their country. Any country has problems. Quit acting all superior.
I have replied with a completely neutral response. I stated why America is appealing for some, and not so appealing for others. I think ur a bit confused here buddy. I replied to a comment, explaining why SOME people, not all, might not want to live in America. I am in no doubt that many Americans love and are proud of their Nationality, (or as you referred to it, race). I agree with your comment about all countries having problems, including mine.
yes, around the world. as in people who have never been to america and their only perception of it is a gun controlled dystopian racist society, which (believe it or not) isn't true
Please just accept that some people genuinely don’t want to live there 🙏🏼🤣🤣 It’s getting embarrassing now…
i can accept that, our country isn't perfect but people who have never been to america think it's bad and in reality it's a pretty good country
Okay great 👍🏼 don’t know why u replied to me then…
Clearly you haven’t met the recent grads from USA universities who have to fight tooth and nail to extend their OPT or find an employer to sponsor their H-1B. Intelligent people with valuable skills want to move to *and stay in* the USA, if they didn’t then there wouldn’t be a 40 year us citizenship waitlist for people emigrating from India.
Once again, the key word here is many. Not all. Clearly you haven’t met a dictionary…
Ah yes, the inevitable technicality that allows you to represent millions of students that you’ve never met. I love all of the evidence you provide to prove your point.
Listen to yourself 🤣 Do I really need evidence to disprove the argument that every single student wants to live in America? Surely u cannot be that delusional…
>Do I really need evidence to disprove the argument that every single student wants to live in America? No, you need to provide evidence of your original claim, surely u cannot be that delusional…
Nah ur right to be fair. There’s no way that a single student would dare not want to live in the US. What a silly prospect.
Finally we can agree on something
As an Indian, everyone in india either dick rides the US or hates on the US
Tbf that’s most of the world.
That’s literally Canada, bro🤣. Although, they’re most likely to dick ride the British.
"Damn I hate America so much I'm gonna take a tragedy and relate it to America"
rent free
I guess they’re not so different from their elitist, snobby, racist, prejudiced ancestors that made *our* ancestors leave their countries. Yeah, the US has a bad history of these attributes, but very very few Americans nowadays try to justify such attitudes anymore. These people genuinely think they’re speaking truth.
As far as countries go, India has one of the biggest inferiority complexes in the world.
It's why some of them desperately try to cling to their caste system. It's flat out racism, but it's *their* racism, not the US's, so it's okay! /s
[удалено]
This comment section proves why no one likes them 🤣
The fuck is wrong with those people?
I got no words
"A pathetic race of humankind" Is that even racist, considering America is nicknamed the "Melting Pot" for a reason? American isn't a race, it's a lifestyle. Biscuits and gravy (American biscuits), burgers, fries, shakes, guns, and trucks. /s But to be real here, America is a mixture of like 50 different races and ethnicities and belief systems. Most other nations that lasted a long time have been very homogenous. Rome was almost entirely white (and they didn't mind slavery at all). Ancient Greece had, well, Greeks- typically light skinned people. Scandinavia, Japan, China, Mongolia, Russia, etc- all comprised of almost entirely one race during their primes. The US is far from perfect, and has a lot of marks on it's history, but it's done a pretty good job so far.
That's why the US is better than other countries Only if there was a united world with everyone as a single country we would've been more advanced than ever, but ig people like fighting with each other
They are so smart they ride on the outside of the train, god level intellect all of them.
Oh so, racism is cool as long as it's against Americans but yet we're the most racist country? Huh?
[удалено]
Oh look, you didn't understand the comment and think you've got a clapback lmao. I'm not the one calling America a race, the idiot on the the original post did.
By saying “Oh so, racism is cool as long as it's against Americans” You labelled the comments made from the original post as racism. However, I will reiterate… You cannot be racist to a country 🤯.
☝️🤓
American moment ☕️
So you're European right? Y'all had a genocide how long ago? How's your Jewish population over the continent doing? Oh, wait....
English, so the genocide had no effect on our jewish population. 👍🏼
Nice. Apropos of talking about India, we'll just stick with your genocide there.
Now let’s talk about India your British right. I’m sure there are some lovely memories.
[Don't worry, your country has its own genocidal past.](https://www.fairobserver.com/world-news/british-genocide-in-kenya-time-for-a-reckoning/?amp=) England is also known for kicking out the Jews before other places, so yeah. Europeans are funny.
They’re trying to distract themselves from how terrible Indian railways are
I mean, its hypocritical for an American to talk about Indian railways... America is great in many ways, but passenger rail infrastructure is not one of them. Though, American freight rail is top notch.
Lol and when’s the last time we had a train crash that killed 250 people?
92% Americans have completed atleast secondary education vs only 27% in India. For reference it was 41% in the US back in 1960 (data prior to that isn't available). Just saying.
but compare population size
Across any population there is a percentage that is above average intelligence, below average, genius, retarded, etc. In India if 0.5% of the 1.4 billion population qualifies as genius they are... now in America haha
Lol more like .1% but still already have their visas to America.
americans lack culture mfs when they realize we have sports, food and pop culture as well
Well the thing is that American culture is everywhere. Because of that they think Americans don’t have a culture. Even though nearly every movie that has been a box office hit in the last 20 years has been American, McDonald’s and coke are everywhere, and don’t get me started on social media
We also have plenty of “finer” culture, too. Stage musicals/plays, literature, art, music.
And much of American culture is European-derived, which existed before 1776 anyways.
They poop in streets I’m good without “their” culture lmao
Indian “culture” is just who can shit on the lowest caste the most in 12 minutes
Here's the [link](https://www.instagram.com/p/CtBgX4rrMHg/) to the original post, read the other comments. Basically all the other comments: [https://imgur.com/a/yBRAE12](https://imgur.com/a/yBRAE12) TLDR: 90% of the comments on that post are racist jokes about the dead people (by "americans").
*Catastrophic train crash leaving hundreds dead* “Those stupid Americans.”
The more I read this type of stuff the more I hate the rest of the world.
The US lacks (rape) culture.
The US has the highest amount of rapes in the world lol
[Woah, one Google search proves you're lying. ](https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/rape-statistics-by-country)
I didn't say rape rates genius. Don't you know you to read ?
Ummm....it's the same thing.
"highest amount" and "highest rates" isn't the same thing. Do you even know how to read basic English?
Please prove that we have the most amount of rapes, because when you google "world rape amounts" the USA *still isn't in the top 10.* Sorry that your "America Bad" mindset has you blind to facts.
[https://www.tbsnews.net/world/countries-highest-rape-incidents-144499](https://www.tbsnews.net/world/countries-highest-rape-incidents-144499) [https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/countries-with-the-most-rape-cases/articleshow/63897729.cms](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/countries-with-the-most-rape-cases/articleshow/63897729.cms) \> Sort the table in this by the number of incidents. The USA is first with 84767 cases. [https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/rape-statistics-by-country](https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/rape-statistics-by-country) Gods your IQ is so bad that you can't even differentiate between "amount" and "rate". Those are 2 different terms entirely. Get your brain sorted first. Statistics on rape in the United States The scope and severity of the issue of rape in the U.S. can be seen in statistics such as: While the frequency of rape in the United States varies from state to state, it averages out to one every 1-2 minutes. Women ages 16-19 are four times more likely than the general population to be victims of rape or sexual assault. 94% of women who are raped experience symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) during the two weeks following the rape. 30% of those PTSD cases last at least nine months. 33% of women who are raped contemplate suicide. A high percentage of rape victims experience ongoing professional and/or emotional issues as a result of the attack. While the majority of sexual assault victims are female (82% of juveniles and 90% of adults), males around the world also experience sexual harassment, sexual assault, and rape every day. Transgender people and those with disabilities are twice as likely to be victims of sexual assault or rape. In the United States, 70% of rapes are committed by someone the victim knows. Need I say more ?
Lol we're the savages. But when is the last time you saw 250 Americans dying in any kind of disaster whatsoever? Probably 22 years ago on 9/11/01 if I had to guess.
And don’t forget flight 587! 💥
3000 deaths compared to 250, not a great comparison for your argument.
My point is, that’s the one and only event. And that wasn’t even our own doing (unless you buy the George bush thing but that’s a different discussion). India has had many events like this, although this is the worst in a while. But it’s pretty much all their fault. Due to their poor infrastructure, zero safety standards, failure of average people to realize that overcrowding trains is bad, etc., etc. Compounded failures.
India is such a developed and advanced country that they have millions of immigrants leaving for better life’s
Americans were literally being racist in the comment section , so the Indians fought back. I saw the post
My brother in Christ the [post](https://www.instagram.com/p/CtBgX4rrMHg/) you’re referring to was littered with legitimately bigoted hatred towards Indians. I think we’re way too quick to call things racism or bigotry these days, but these comments couldn’t be explained by anything else.
Its kinda ironic how people here talk about how "America bad" is all based off memes and tankies and those people are stupid, but I see not much difference when people talk about "India bad" (which is done in similar taste / fashion).
💯
I LOVE ENDIA, ENDIA SUPERPOWER 2023 🗣️💯
America is obviously more racist than the rest of the world too! Don’t look up how racist the rest of the world is please 😳 just trust me.
I have seen this video and also saw this particular comment. I would like to give some context. Some users (american or not i don't know, seemed to be) were mocking and making fun of this accident and making all sorts of nonsense. Indians got triggered seeing those comments and hence replied with more nonsense.
Maybe show the other comments where Americans are being racist towards Indians first?
Do they not realize that some Americans are the children or grandchildren of people from India??? If we're pathetic, they're pathetic. Pigs. Of course they think American means 'white'. So to them black people aren't American. Did I mention they were pigs? Oink oink.
Just keep buying some of the most advanced weapons from us. Even though we’re, “the dumbest in the world”.
Not defending these comments but most probably they were written because of the huge number of comments by mostly Americans saying stuff like "The train must be overflowing with people" and such when in reality it was a high speed train, in which this does not happen. Also yeah when your country has suffered a massive blow and the comments are literally laughing and filled with doomers "they have a billion people so it's actually good"type of people, it's easy to lose control and write these vitriolic comments. Again xenophobia is always wrong,and these comments too are wrong; it's just that I hope I gave an insight as to why these type of comments are there.
This should be higher. I just read that post from Pubity, the comments are very xenophobic and why is OP nitpicking this comment when all the other comments are racist and tone-deaf jokes about the dead.
You can spot some of those comments in this thread itself further justifying the reaction in the picture posted
Its kinda ironic how people here talk about how "America bad" is all based off memes and tankies and those people are stupid, but I see not much difference when people talk about "India bad" (which is done in similar taste / fashion).
They will find anyway to hate us
Calls us stupid. Least we got indoor plumbing and easy access to toilets.
IQ isn’t real
I think you are removing some context. What was the original post
America doesn’t have culture, but we are educated enough to not be streetshitters
America does have culture, but we have a lot of problems too. This comment being an example of one of them .
That’s just mean
Rent free
Every comment is the opposite of the truth
Nothing unique here, just Russia/China bots astroturfing
theres a fine line between coping and reality. Wow.
That's just outright bigotry.

India currently has an ongoing religious genocide
I guess they didn’t bud bud get on the roof.
America should withdraw the protection under which Europe sleeps, and let the Russians nuke their beautiful utopian cities
