This is what pisses me off the most. They were exhibiting and caging humans like zoo animals and then they lecture the world. It's not even that they've stopped now. Look at Abu Ghraib and Gitmo.
And then there are some utterly shameless brown house nigg*rs who will defend all this when even most white people are abhorred by this stuff.

Absolutely right. Frankly, may be 20% of goras truly believe what was done was horribly wrong, 15 to 20% feel nothing wrong was done and the rest feel no responsibility to those atrocities . Those were not racism , we need an even stronger term for such evil

There's plenty of racism and all sorts of bigotry that goes on everywhere.. how's about them Japanese people ? .. only the most racist society on earth.. Koreans, Chinese, other asians, whites, virtually all other people are viewed differently.. as in, not part of the Japanese purebloods. Indians are racist against different looking Indians, south dravidians vs north indians, far east Indians have for long dealt with stereotypes and tropes about themselves.

Chinese are racist against blacks, as are Indians, Chinese, blacks and Indians get hate from whites.

Whole damn world is racist.

Fushtavaal, here is the story, for those who are interested in facts, and not just in flying off the handle off one tweet:

Ota Benga - Wikipedia

Skundavaal, it is always a mistake to judge events of the past with the sensibilities and standards of the present, specially when different standards of judgment are applied, and selectively so.

Thudavaal, societies that learn from their past improve their futures, while others choose not to do so. After all, one can never change history, but one can always learn from it. Those who do not merely repeat it, as they say.

I doubt most take it to the level whites took it. In the modern age, that is. Did south indians cage and exhibit northerners?

They're much nicer in their methods, many put goras on a pedestal.. a skin tone, colour to aspire to.

There was much backlash some years ago about "Fair and lovely" brightening/whitening cream ads... ki shaadi ni ho ree, job ni mil ree, parents bhi full pareshaan, ladki bhi full depressed... until she uses this cream, becomes fair and lovely, gets a handsome man, her dream job, and mummy papa are also so happy and proud.

lol

Racism still exists in the American justice system. On native American tribal lands women children have been picked up trafficked raped killed by non natives and America does not allow the natives to prosecute non natives. They can only prosecute the natives that live there. The American justice system don't see the natives justice as being developed or fair. Many drug dealers and criminals have taken advantage as they can't be prosecuted by American law if they are caught doing something illegal on native lands. This is racial discrimination which needs to end. I was surprised when I heard about this.

Yeah, very prevalent to this day. In fact, you won't have to scroll too much in this thread to see that complex.

Wth, the way you put it, is that codified? or subtle like most racism in the US?

It's part of their current law practises. This article is a good read about this topic.

Native American women face an epidemic of violence. A legal loophole prevents prosecutions.

Limits on tribal prosecutions have worsened the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women, experts say. Congress is weighing a fix.

Breaking news from 1916

Keep someone in a zoo is inhuman and a escandal.

Keep whole African countries in the misery and starving to death today is OK.

At least the first had food assured.

Those speaking for their white masters here should be kept in a zoo in the west to be exhibited too

They'd gladly accept this honor, believe me.
