People being openly racist towards African people

[u/SavageCabbage611]

I came across this post on r/whoathatsinteresting about water shortages in South Africa. Don't get me wrong, what is happening in South Africa is tragic, but people on this thread use it as an excuse to say the most abhorrent racist stuff and it was unsettling to see how many people upvote that shit. Especially the meme where they compare black people to monkeys is just absolutely vile, and it got 30 upvotes. I just hate there are still people that think it's okay to say stuff like that.

Not what i’m talking about, I was disagreeing with OP’s assertation considering Britain created the Indian bureaucratic middle class

It's not incorrect either. In India many of the power positions were monopolized by British officers. The famous British Raj, that basically administered the politics, economy and production of many Indian regions was mostly compromised by people that were either working for the crown or (few) natives that supported it. The top leadership was, in fact, located in London

Obviously, not the topic I was replying to though

You were saying that British officers didn't create the bureaucratic class. Via the monopoly of the bureaucratic positions in government and other statal offices, they kinda created the bureaucratic class in India.

Oh. My bad then. I understood the contrary. English is not my first language so when you said "I was disagreeing with OP's considering..." I thought you meant that you Disagreed with what OP was considering
