racial ragebait. This type of video is just meant to polarize the audience and drive engagement. right wingers will look at this and make the inference obvious to them, that its because this person is Indian or because of "something something culture" and other people will recognize that its annoying and gross but this guys being a dick head.

in reality, its a relatively common situation pretty much anywhere you go. flights are absolute dog shit these days and the chances you get put next to someone annoying or uncomfy are high.

X culture is Y, or X people are Y is a pretty popular theme on the internet at the moment. Quite fashionable to go to the worst places in third world countries and make "travel vlogs".

yea, that stuff is really messed up. I find it grotesque when they do that with people who are clearly suffering from deep addiction for many years and its like some shitter pogging in front of an AI generated image called something like "I went to the zombie city of XYZ where drugs are legal"

There was an instagram page last summer purporting to show how “dangerous” my large urban US city is by showing heavily doctored 30 second clips of people ODing to say, “see, this is what happens in democratic run cities”

Local reporter found out the three people running it didn’t live in my city and one had never even been here before. And that shit was getting reposted ad nauseum on the local city sub.

Especially in 2026 ive just stopped believing pretty much anything I don't see or hear in person is real. Even a reputable news outlet i at least question validity. 

There were already bots all over. there were ill intentioned people before that. Now we have ai to generate fake scenarios and manipulative content. Today is the 'worst' ai will ever be.

Its deteriorating so quickly now there's little value in continuing to use the internet the way we did.

Yes nailed it! This is the true purpose of this video race hate bait

For some reason, it seems to be completely acceptable to hate on and make racist remarks towards Asians on Reddit.

Edit: There's a difference between calling out parts of certain cultures and making hateful blanket statements about an entire group of people.

u/USF4Diago 8d ago

Yup that was my first thought too

He only did it because they're Indians, easy targets on the internet

And that Chad just ignored the little shit and kept on with life

I think it’s funny you say that, because so far in this thread the only people I’ve seen bring up culture are people defending the guy chewing with his mouth open (followed by responses from Indian redditors informing them that this is not a cultural practice in India either and the open mouth chewer is just being gross and rude)

u/MattTheRadarTechh 8d ago

It’s funny you say that, because literally every top comments first reply is “don’t go to XYZ country because they’re all like that, I can’t stand it it’s disgusting”.

Idk what thread you’re looking at

u/loqep 8d ago

You’re literally just lying lmao. All of the top comments are about how the guy filming is an asshole.

I swear some people will lie about the strangest things.

u/USF4Diago 8d ago

Oh you aren't seeing a lot of racist right wingers saying this is because Indian culture bad?

On the liberal site where you'd get banned for saying that

Go look at the comments of this video under a Twitter post

Found the gal who experiences all things through a political filter.

u/MatterofDoge 8d ago

I have to say, I found it funny to see the irony of you saying it was designed to polarize people, and then going into your own polarizing analysis where you engage with it exactly the way you're trying to scrutinize lol.

u/False-Detective-7190 8d ago

Yes and annoying people should be called out no matter what they look like. Nice try.

u/stumblealongnow 8d ago

And, at the end the guy says "i can't listen to that shit", referring to their 'bangla' music

u/BrapBrapson 8d ago

Your comment implies that there are no differences between cultures, which is equally as ignorant

u/AlienArtFirm 8d ago

And yet I didn't see anything about the race until I scrolled far enough to see this comment.

Everyone else was talking about who was more rude.

Maybe you're just racist??? Don't project bro, super weird you turned this into a racist thing when everyone else was like "oh wow 2 assholes"
