Some asshole mowed down 8 Indians with his car in Sunnyvale thinking they were Muslim! https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/04/26/teen-girl-clings-to-life-as-sunnyvale-crash-driver-set-for-arraignment/
Did you feel the hate against Indians in other Blind posts? Well I would say that the driver actually knew they were Indians and crushed them. I would not be surprised if this kind of crimes become frequent now. Seriously disheartening!
I'm Indian and I would say the "hate" on blind posts is caused by some annoying behavior of Indians as a group. Indians, not Everyone, but as a group, are very superficial (look at Indian marriages) and more racist than others (remember reading a post about some Indian women yelling their husbands not to hang out with white men). Also Indians tend to respond to the slightest criticism of India with personal attacks. Any criticism of Indians on blind is not racism, but the result of Indians own racism. While this attack is in no way justified, we Indians must first look at how racist we are, before whining about racist America is.
Agree!
Suspected muslim run down with car, Indians shot at a bar, shooting at synagogue.. Call it what it is. Radical white/Christian terrorism Edit: “/“ bc people won’t stop thinking like compilers after work
This!
Nah. I'm sure it was a mental health issue. /s
Indians, not Everyone, but as a group, are very superficial (look at Indian marriages) and more racist than others. Several studies have found that Indians, by their own admission, have the least tolerance of neighbors of a different race. While this attack is in no way justified, we Indians must first look at how racist we are, before whining about racist America is.

Terrorists are terrorists, they follow no specific religion, they have a terrorist ideology. No matter whether the terrorist is white, black, etc. he is a terrorist. Imho, it is wrong to pin terrorism on a specific culture/religion. Look at the attack on the mosques in new zealand. All those attacks are carried out by uneducated, biased individuals. The normal norm of a human being is to live in peace, those outlaws are exceptions, otherwise, you’d see many more terrorists everywhere
This is a clear act of terrorism. It needs to be condemned no mater what race you are. Please sit aside the inter-ethnic difference and pray for this little girl who is fighting for her life. I wish I would give a year of my life for this girl.
The line between terrorism and violent mental illness is incredibly hard to pin down. If a person is trying to kill others because they think their imaginary god wants them to, they are likely both a terrorist and mentally ill. The fuzzy line here seems to cause immense consternation for the media - do we have a measure of understanding for the perpetrator because they are clearly not well in the head? Or condemn somebody as a terrorist who is likely mentally ill? Unfortunately there is much that is dehumanizing about our modern world and it leaves those who are unstable and in mental anguish particularly susceptible to messages of hate. This is one of the biggest scourges of modern existance. We need better mental health support, better defences against radicalization, humanistic philosophy as an antidote to religion, and a more humane, empathetic approach to modern global capitalism to mitigate the root causes of both domestic and international terrorism. At the same time, we need to call terrorism out for what it is, regardless of the race or religion of perpetrators and victims.
Terrorism usually requires someone highly educated and manipulative (at least at the top) eg Osama. People carrying out orders for terrorism are another story.
No coverage in any big media.
Tech.ladki is the appropriate post to talk about racism? I did not hear one word of prayer sympathy for the suffering the folks have endured. Instead you are continuously posting your own views and thought processes which highlight how insensitive a person you are. Shame on you.
Unfortunately stuff like this happens everyday. The real tragedy is how rzap is getting offended by stuff we all considered to be a possibility
I'm not the one who started the conversation on racism. I'm just asking Indians whining about racism to shut up! They have no business calling America racist unless they have denounced their racist culture. Why don't you tell those shameless hypocrites to shut up instead? Read all the comments properly, you'll find my comments for the victims. I never said victims deserved this --if you have any way to help the victims, like a go fund me for anyone in financial distress, post it here.
The girl in coma is my son’s friend. Heartbreaking.
What?
