First of all, you previously included the Middle East. And yes, I would not be able to determine ethnicity with certainty given the significant variation. Would you define Jason Mantzoukas as Caucasian? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JtamJmtc0g

Ok. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism_in_the_United_States

What you said, "during ramadan terrorist attacks are up significantly", does not line up with the source you asked to look at. Also what does "looks Indian, Pakistani, or anything between middle east and India." even mean? You do realize the spectrum of that population range envelopes the entirety of the human race.

Where did you study these statistics? And how do you know what "people looking lik you" is given that the author didn't post his/her photograph?

> Can't stand the arrogant victim-posing tone of this article.

Is there a different possible explanation for why you can't stand it? Perhaps something more internal to yourself?

Unlike the USA and other western countries? Have you been in USA recently? In fact, if one did the genuine stats incorporating analysis of wage slaves and issues around food stamps, I'd wager that slavery is more of an issue in USA.

> It is so hard to believe such brutal system still exist in human society

It is so hard to believe that James Byrd Jr was dragged behind a truck until his head popped off due to the friction with the road. That was not in the 1800s. That was in 1998. This wasn't in some Appalachian village, it was in Jasper. Yes, a sunset town. And that murderous knee for 8 minutes 46 seconds on George Floyd. That was in 2020. In Minneapolis. Not some tiny Indian village. Do we really need to keep going? We should look in the mirror.

Is it normal to have someone you've never met pull your lanyard like that without asking for permission first?
> Law enforcement in the US is so effective at stopping crimes that we aren’t even aware of the value they provide.

Any concrete evidence of this? How was that conclusion derived?

Multiple of these incidents have happened to Sundar.

""What are you, press?," asked the Samsung representative. After being let in - Pichai was inquisitive about Samsung's new smart fridge. The profile reveals similar incidents happened multiple times over at CES."

"Even after looking at the name on his badge, the rep had no clue that this curious, friendly inquisitor was one of the most powerful people in technology. "

> It would have been impossible with racism and what not. It would have been impossible with racism and what not.

Please explain the reasoning of why it would have been "impossible".

It happened to Sundar. There was an incident at a tech conference where he was walking through the booths and some people started asking for selfies with him. The "booth guy" who had condescending look grabbed Sundar's nametag slightly tugging on his neck without requesting his permission to see who he was. People were shocked at how rude the physical contact was. More ought to have been made of that. That booth guy should have been at least reprimanded for doing that to anyone, let alone Google's CEO.
Instead of you demanding I make the argument myself in my own words, you could just please watch or listen to the podcast that I directly linked to. Churchill and Lindemann intentionally genocided 3 million Indians. That's not just plain racism, that's genocide. Same as Hitler.
Rightfully so. I agree there shouldn't be any censorship. Just as the facts about Churchill ought to be highlighted and he shouldn't be allowed to aryanwash history.
