    Are you saying US LEOs are on top of their game when it comes to handling cases? Or that women in the US do not feel repercussions for reporting rape cases?

    According to those numbers, US has ~73x more. So even if one in 73 is reported, it will match the US. In the end, all you have is that brown people = rapists, terrorists etc. Not saying it’s you, it’s the decades of racist propaganda.

    Remember, transphobia with a feminist slant is still transphobic. Racism with feminist slant is still racist.

      No. I’m pretty ACAB across the board.

      Every “-ism” you listed isn’t solely the dominion of white folks. You’re sort of falling into the same mindset you’re accusing me of possessing by calling me out for saying India has a problem. The US also has a problem. Both suck and neither excuses the other, but I have firsthand accounts from femme friends who have had sketchy encounters in South Asia. As someone who is not white and has a non binary partner, you are free to eat the entirety of my brown ass

      Namaste

        I explicitly said it was not you but propaganda lol.

        femme friends who have had sketchy encounters in South Asia

        So we went from stats to “trust me cos my friends told me”. Let me guess, your friends also clutch their pearls around sketchy (read “anyone who is not pure white”) people?

        who is not white

        Cannot think of why someone who is not white would do such mental gymnastics to defend blatant racism. At best it does not help and worst leads to things like this - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/mar/09/german-professor-rebuked-for-discrimination-over-indias-problem

          So the article (from 2 presidential administration’s ago) details someone who wouldn’t accept male Indian interns due to the country’s reputation. It does nothing to debunk the argument that rape is not an endemic problem in India, just that some shithead German professor threw the baby out with the bathwater. Okay, fine. We can get #NotAllIndians trending even tho I’m pointing out that it’s a cultural issue, not a race thing like you keep trying to shoehorn into this discussion.

          By your arguments you’re saying article like this are bullshit hysteria with zero basis in reality? Cool. That take is super chill and not victim blamey at all. I mean, these “victims” were probably asking for it. Got it

          Anyhow, I’m also not going to travel to the horn of Africa, chunks of the middle east, North Korea, Belarus or Gary Indiana for that matter. I’m just too closed minded I guess.

            that it’s a cultural issue

            So when white people say racist things, it’s a one off shithead person. But when brown people do crimes, it must be in their culture, got it.

            We can get #NotAllIndians trending

            How about we don’t make it about their skin color or “culture” so that we wouldn’t have to do?

            By your arguments you’re saying article like this are bullshit hysteria with zero basis in reality?

            Not bullshit, never claimed that. Only thing I’m saying is that violence against women is a problem everywhere, not special about Indians. And making it about them is unhelpful and harmful.

            That take is super chill and not victim blamey at all. I mean, these “victims” were probably asking for it. Got it

            Oof damn talk about putting words in my mouth. Crazy that you want to die on this hill so bad and all based on “the data is wrong” and “my friends said they were sketchy”. Since you are resorting to things I didn’t say to attack me, I’ve realized that this is a waste of time. Good luck - make sure to practice your bigotry in silence, though - unlike this shithead professor but like thousands of professors who are not shithead enough to put it in writing. That will definitely help everyone.
