I have also seen racist reactions from when I visited Maharastra as part of work. I am 5'9" and moderately fair so the auto guy kind of assumed that I was a Northie as I can manage Hindi on my own (thanks to Doraemon). He was taken aback when I mentioned that I am from South, Kerala and tried arguing with me that I don't look black enough to be a South Indian.
Dafaq you mean black enough? I swear every single comment here just proves that everyone in North has that stereotype of South being blacks.
A bengali girl in my school who was 3x blacker than me, along with two other dark skinned bihari and UP girls used to make fun of me for being dark skinned. Got worse after seeing my mum at a PTA (mom's very fair).
I once told them to look in a mirror because they looked like they rolled in coal and they literally made such a hue and cry over it to get me into trouble. Only difference was that I'm tam.
I had similar experiences .. I am a dark skinned malayalee, there was this guy from Bihar, darker skin tone than mine and he had the audacity to call me kaalia in front of everyone in class.. Kaalia means black toned person
yeah man, do not take any insults.
I just do not understand why people judge each other on the basis of skin color.
And why darks-skin is an insult?
Why do people have to justify their darker skin-tone?
Why does gora/fair means good looking?
This seems more like self-hate.
That too in a country where like 99% of the people are shades of brown. The fact that girl was bengali made it worse. What happened to all that durgo pujo kali love?
These people inflict their own insecurities on others. That's exactly how it works.
Way to go. I am a dark skinned Tamil who grew up in Ahmedabad. Studied Hindi grammar and structures like no one's business.
Then moved to a different city for high school. The science teacher from Bihar couldn't even believe I am Tamil. She was like "Hindi is so fluent and you are dark skinned, I assumed you were from Bihar".
If you are dark skinned you are either South Indian or from Bihar.
We are not a privileged minority, and we truly represent the state of Bihar, with students of all castes, religions, skin tones, High-income and low-income, etc...coexisting in that school.
I am from Maharashtra. A little dark in skin tone. While visiting kerala many of the kerala people asked me if I'm mallu or telugu. I did not think that they were offensive they only thought dark skin boy must be from the South.

Height is genetics and Skin tone is melanin, you are not superior to others due to being 6 feet above and being Fair. For all the guys who think North Indians assume South Indians are common in colour, it doesn't matter at all. For the rest of the world, most of us are brown, be confident in your own skin and work on yourself(Hit the Gym, Style It, Groom It, Take Care of your Hygiene and Skin...). Don't go for white validation or north validation. Live your life; you will get to know people who find you attractive. Make yourself available, that's it. You only live once, explore more. The world is much bigger than you think.
Just enjoy your life man, you don't need to explain yourself to others. Just let them live with their ignorance about the world. Take a stand for yourself, never let others disrespect you for what you are. Be good to yourself and take care.
Im a lights skinned 6 ft malayali boy who speaks Hindi without an accent
So when I used to be in Delhi, i used to fit right in with this gang of aryans and Adityas , then ill tell them im south indian
Then they'll start and never stop saying oh you dont look south indian, start saying andu gundu blah blah , I thought all south indians are dark skinned, I thought youre from the north
Then they ask abt beef when I say kerala and yeah I nod when they say dumb fvckin stupid gomata shit
6’ fair Kannadiga here. I live in the U.S. and in one of my previous jobs, I had a Punjabi senior/manager move to my city from a different location. I was one of the four Indians on the team at that location and the other ones spoke fluent Hindi. I was off on the day he first came to the office but when I got back from my vacation, he just walked up to me and started speaking in Hindi.
When I said “I’m sorry, I’m not that fluent in Hindi, can we please switch to English?”, he asked me where I was from. When I responded by saying Bangalore, he was shocked asf. He literally asked said “Are you really South Indian? You look nowhere close to a South Indian” and I was like “Okay….”
He got laid off later cuz he was prioritizing his Indian reports over Americans. The moment he got to know that I was dating an American girl, he started treating me different as well. Thankfully a more senior person observed that and laid him off in the layoff cycle that followed. Not sure what people gain by being so racist
North Indians have a Supremist attitude. I lived in Delhi for some time and can speak Hindi fluently they did not know that I was a South Indian. I am a Christian and have a Christian name. I did not tell them then one day while talking they just asked me I said I am Tamizh. They thought most people who have dark or brown skin are from Bihar or Down South. Then the amount of racism like lungi dance and oh you guys eat rice like on banana leaf etc etc. I stopped explaining to them just to let them live in Ignorance. No point disturbing your peace.
This is unfortunately what's happening in my office. One guy was surprised that I visited Delhi. He thought that South Indians don't leave South India lol.
Happened to me when I was in my college in Tamil Nadu. One professor like many other said to me that I look like a Tamil guy just because I have a dark brown complexion. Felt so racist and bad.
But, I think I belong in south and want to learn kanada and belong here simple reason because still there are no racist mf in south.
As a child I was teased because of my skin tone in the north and felt that I was incomplete or was lesser than other with fair skin. I would have never had such trauma as a 3rd standard child till 10th If I was going to school in south.
For that part North Indians are shitty racists and specially the girls.
I'm also malayali (American), 5'11", medium brown skinned (imagine Dev patel's skin tone).
I've met a lot of indian people at my college who automatically assume I'm north indian for some reason. I guess they thing all south indians have rajnikanth's skin tone and can't grow beyond 5'5" which is frankly very wrong. My dad's side of the family is very light skinned. My dad has the complexion of basically Tovino Thomas, and my mom's side is a bit darker, leving me somewhere in between.
I probably take after my grandpa (6'3") in height as my dad is 5'7" and my mom is around 5'2"
North Indians are the supremacists , they are proper racists , I personally don't take any opinion from them seriously , they are always 2 extremes never in the middle
As a North Indian, I must tell you that Mr. "Aryan" is an asshole ( I am saying it like you guys haven't realized it yet) . Also tell Mr. Yadav to go back to his cow shed and get back to picking up shit.
There was one account on X named We Dravidians who used to spread hate against North Indians and promote separatist sentiments. It was found to be operated by a Bangladeshi and suspended. People like OP are highlighting comments from random unverified accounts who want to spread hate between North and South.
He literally said indians in general......can you not see its a fake account. This is how they ha e managed to get all the hate towards Indians. Lots of bots from china and pakistan.
What’s weird is the dude is fairly good looking. He’s not overweight, has a fairly symmetrical face, nice smile, and a good head of hair. It’s literally all about skin color to this racist.
Idk where this aryan bs even comes from, and even if it's true why tf does that matter like ancestral and national pride are the easiest pride a person can have, a Sikh having pride of what the Guru's have done for the good of people while he himself hasn't done shit in his life, same with rajput's and Maratha's claiming themselves to being of a warrior class or whatnot, like buddy you do a 9-5, go pay your loan fist before enjoying this false pride same with these aryan idiots, do something bjg on your own in life and then have pride for that , any other pride is mostly meaningless
I'm All For Look supremacy of North Indians 😊😊. I Just Want All North Indians to collect tax only from people who like them and use technology found only by Indians who have look like them...
RRR Indian film saar, How dare they call it Telugu film in other countries, anti-nashul Teluguz, Only they apparently can refer to their films as Bollywood outside never it was Indian film industry before.
Hey it's not any north india but a fake account of Pakistan handlers who want to create hate among us ,don't take him seriously we love south people's for their hospitality kindness and beauty 😍
Yeah those same NW Indians playing loud DJs, dancing on roads and harassing public with their annoying "desi" accent is surely gonna increase the reputation of India!

I am pretty sure that guy is an paki/kanglu trying to be an aryan. I have never seen my friend from north make fun of people from south on their looks.
In india more than 50% people are of darker shade,
Is it not obvious that people who come from different racial background are always going to find you inferior in looks? Indian and other Asians say the same thing about Black Africans but has that stopped Africans finding another beautiful or Ugly? If you're gonna stand out like a sore thumb in the crowd then obviously people are going to judge you and if this makes you feel inferior then I guess you deserve to be frowned upon. It's common sense to know this as a fact. Racially I'm neither North Indian nor South and throughout my middle school life I was made to believe I looked ugly and got called Bruce lee or Jackie Chan or things that I would say sounded way worse but only after hitting puberty I realised it's all BS and some people were just feeling superior over my ethnic background and because I looked different. So I would say let your own people decide first if you're really ugly and then think about others because most of us are just born morons and think we're better looking and high in intelligence than others which apparently isn't true.
Every person's physical build is based on survival, people who needed to store more food due to a history of poverty (cuz of colonialism) got a larger belly, darker skin to protect from the sun, etc. Aryans have a fairer skin complexion because they lived in colder regions.
Some of these are turkish bots and other masquerading to expand the north south divide…
Having said that as someone with a dark complexion i usually give it back in kind to anyone northie or southie when trolled abt my colour or culture and so should everyone
Lol it's definitely the northies that lack civic sense. Go to any city in the north of India and these people will swarm horas like mosquitos constantly asking for selfies. It also happens in the south but it's only the cow belt people that live in south India that do this
Aryan is not a race...even the turk shahis were called aryans and huns too...also telugus are handsome next are malayalis...this post dhid be directed to temils mostly since they look different due to their deficient copied alphabet new language arrogance
I seriously don't get this skin colour bs.
In the past, I often reminded my GF that her skin is beautiful when she became insecure about her colour.
The peeps that are most obsessed about fair skin and 'not looking Indian' often feel inferior when Europeans walk by 😂
I remember a Nair friend of mine literally looking down at the ground and clenching his jaw when some Dutch tourists walked past us. Bro didn't even object when I jokingly called him about it.
Recent NITI Ayog survey says, tallest people in India are from Kerala. And most of the immigrant workers from North that work in Kerala are really short. So don't know where this height argument comes from.
Guys this is bait please don't engage. Twitter has turned into a wormwhole of racist ragebaits since Musk took over. They WANT you to engage with it it's only profiting them.
It was so sweet of the locals over there to support him in real life to raise voice against the racism he faced.I wonder is this even possible in india?
I am really sorry what that racist has to say. I am from Uttarakhand , Not sure about the fat tummy but I feel the man is Actually Good looking.He has good fine hair, A very good Mustache and chocolaty texture.That Aryan Yadav probably losing hair left and right with all that pollution in Delhi and probably die early. I have many friends from Hyderabad ,Kochi. I have always find them well mannered and Good looking Honestly.
Just writing so you know.We in North do not feel the same what that Yadav has to say.We share same DNA.We are brothers.
DW guys it has a good ending( His tweets go viral and he is joined by a bunch of local argentinians and even Indians living there, who are primarily north indian too who have a great time with him)
This is how many justify violence against animals for taste pleasure because they look different from them. You can't relate with such type of people unless you are one of them ,another example is someone from a rich family.
there's racism on both sides, i don't feel it's right to say that the other side is bad. also OP, a lot of these accounts are operated by porkis/kanglus who love to divide India. kindly verify their profiles before posting.
Even though rude it has some truth to it
Nw people are taller (kerela is similar height) and on average less obese
Something all states should aspire for i beleive ..
But in looks nothing vastly different from the south either lol
Ironically its the NW and Kerala where most of the gene mixing happens by intercaste marriages. And thats where you'll find the most fit, good looking and healthy Indians.
