Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Do south indian, bihari, north east indian classify as races?
Yes. They are also discriminated. For example, if a Bihari is living in Punjab or Haryana (northern states), they won't be treated as equals. However, if they are educated enough, they will be okay. But if they are of lower caste, education won't matter, and will be discriminated regardless.
I haven't travelled a lot, so, I am not very experienced, and my experiences can differ from most people.
Question, how is racism towards tourists there (or in general)? Caucasian, Asian, African, etc.?
I've heard places like Japan is Super bad and a very close minded people towards pretty much anyone not Japanese. They just deal with tourist basically
As far as I have seen, tourists are never discriminated based om their race. Women safety is a separate issue, though.
Again, I haven't travelled a lot, so my experiences may differ from others.
Women's safety, could you explain why that'd be a bit more? Just from your experience, even if it isn't the whole of the region/country
Personally, I have never witnessed any such thing, but people on the internet consider India to not to be a safe country for female tourists. I have seen some videos online, of some people harassing or touching female foreigners.
But if you ask me, as long as you are in a public place, a decent city, or always keep a trustwortmale friend with you, you'll be fine.
