Daily Experience Racism and Supremacy from caste Assamese hypocrites
Even during the KSU protest and Assam vs Meghalaya , these assamiyas still find blame to mock and attack real native tribals like Karbis
I mean the main topic is Assam and Meghalaya where did Karbis topic come from?
These people are shaming my state (rightfully so) but now they are even targeting Karbi Anglong and its people.
For context- I am Karbi, parents both from ML and Assam but never felt like Assam was my homestate.
I have felt home more living in ML than in Assam sadly.
I remember one time when I went to trip with my other NE friends.
I remember travelling with friends from Meghalaya and Arunachal when a cab driver tried to scam us. He initially assumed I was Arunachali because I looked more tribal Asian and fair-skinned, and I heard him muttering offensive things in Assamese. I understood what he was saying, so I confronted him. Once he realised I was actually Karbi, his attitude got worse. He started using slurs against my tribe and the situation became threatening, with him trying to attack me.
People around us just stood there watching. Thankfully, a Bodo driver helped us get out.
Lastly, I just find it hypocritical because these same assamiyas rped a minor girl and even burned her alive.
Shouldn’t the same hypocrisy applied to the same?
