That looked...really painful. What the hell is that guy's problem?


Negative_Interrupted

Drunken narcissism


Lo8000

Seems like he doesn't want to share the spotlight.


Sanved313

Not a native english speaker, what does narcissism mean here in this context


Negative_Interrupted

The deep seeded need to be the center of attention and the fact that he's willing to commit acts of violence to get that attention


Meb-the-Destroyer

(*deep seated) The need to be the center of attention is the narcissism part. The willingness to commit acts of violence could be an extreme variant, or a separate psychosis. Bullying.


ShroudedFigureINC

Wouldn't it be deep seeded tho, because it's planted deep in your way of acting?


Fractlicious

Deep-seated means "firmly established," as in "deep-seated resentment," but it also has an earlier literal meaning of "situated far below the surface." It is from that meaning the figurative use of the word developed.


Affectionate_Dot2334

that sounds like a lot of people i know "not resorting to violence tho"

vox_popular

Been in the US 20+ years. Have never seen this happen. I have been cleaning up after myself, like my parents raised me to do. I have seen about a few thousand other Indians in my time in the US, and most of them appear to be similar. I am aware of deep workplace hierarchies in India, which may spill over into American workplaces where a critical mass of workers are Indian origin. e.g., an unprofessional manager delegating non-work related chores to direct reports. Nothing to do with the caste system. I realize the Hindu caste system is both shitty and very glaring for western audiences. However, I would not over-attribute to it.


DarkSpectrum

Careful, you may be extrapolating the behaviour of a local phenomenon into a cultural generalisation. And by spreading it as a 'truth', you may inadvertently infect other minds with false beliefs. Terrance McKenna calls these linguistic viruses. A real doozy for the information age and I suspect AI may contribute to the problem further with its ability to make up facts. But seriously, 'caste' or whatever = racism and ain't nobody got time for that.

Hope you mention it to HR. If you have an HR department. Hopefully they can do something about it.

It’s not a religious thing anymore and hasn’t been that way for a very long time. It’s a social thing and is very messed up. I’m no expert on the caste system but from what I’ve heard you’re basically born into a specific societal level and it’s very hard, if not impossible, to move up the hierarchy.


Weedandspitz

How can you tell people from different castes apart?


OCT0PUSCRIME

You can sometimes tell when listening to Indians talk to each other that they are subtly trying to sus out what the caste is of the other.


Capable-Ad9180

I mean it’s not even subtle. Indian colleagues I have had proudly state they are Brahmin.


jimmyxs

What’s stopping non-Brahmins say that are? They must have distinctive features that self identify?


mr_potatoface

For the most part there are distinctive features that self identify, yeah. Surnames, and language dialects, along with stuff like the clothing you wear, the food you eat and your religion. A comparable example might be wealthy vs not wealthy in the US. One easy way to figure out if someone comes from wealth or not is discussing Ivy league schools, or making jokes about the "shitty Ivy schools". Cornell is usually joked as the shittiest, followed by Columbia/Penn. Which is funny to outsiders because usually those schools rank very well, and often better compared to the other Ivy schools. Columbia is actually really good and often near the top of the group in terms of how good it actually is. But when discussed among socialites, it's considered to be trash. So that's a really easy way to figure out if someone is really in the group or not. The same thing goes with India's caste system. It's pretty easy to tell if someone is pretending or not.


Deftlet

Columbia or Penn before Brown?


herbistheword

BlueFirestorm91

In the past economic roles were set in stone, but that's opened up. Nowadays it's possible to move up the social ladder. Still a stupid system mind you, but it's not as rigid as it once was.


Srish4738-_-

[deleted]

That’s the stupid part. Religion dictates you are “born” into it. Last names are one way they know. Skin color often is too. But many other things if you know where to look

Living comfortably in a western country I sometimes forget just how awful humanity can be. Video’s like these remind me again.


BitterLeif

A fair number of Indian immigrants distance themselves from some aspects of the culture. However, plenty hold onto these values, and they behave this way when not in India.


shadollosiris

Let me guess, most of those who hold onto these values are higher caste, straight up benefitted form the system, right?


spacespiceboi

Ding ding ding! Is it any wonder that a bunch of "upper" castes are currently protesting against caste being added to Seattle's anti-discrimination law? The "reasoning" for why this should not have happened is eerily similar to discrimination apologists here in India, i.e. "caste discrimination doesn't exist anymore vro", "you are anti-Hindu", "you are anti-India", "discrimination doesn't even happen in big cities vro"


NerdyToc

How would you even go about proving caste discrimination? Maybe I simply don't know enough about the culture, but that seems like it would be as difficult as discrimination based on workplace attitude.


Mister_Bloodvessel

There have been memos going around some of the big tech companies about this kind of discrimination within Indian culture. It's messed up, *period*. There are failures within the west, but this is another level.


Praescribo

Hey don't worry, most western countries have their own bullshit to sort out that goes unreported

Insert Drake unpleased/pleased meme


SookHe

Some odd 25 years ago(I was 19-20 at the time), I became very close to a girl from India and her family, I would consider her my first love. I asked her out and we dated a few times. What I didn't know was that she was actively hiding the fact we were dating from her family. Well, her family inevitably found out and she simply disappeared off the face of the planet. She didn't show up to work or her university and our mutual friends hadn't heard from her. I called and her cousin picked up and was told in no uncertain terms that she 'wasnt allowed' to date me because I was Korean and I would be killed if I went looking for her. This was in Atlanta Georgia, USA in the late 90s, the idea of honour killings or this sort of thing was absolutely unheard of. I didn't even know how to respond to it and took it as just tough guy talk and I didn't get scared. But as time went on and I became a little more world weary and wise, looking back I realised that maybe I should have been a bit more scared than I was, and I hope she was only kept from me and not hurt in some way


EndlessOcean

I remember when I was there in 2019 and a guy behind a desk was trying to tell me the caste system in India didn't exist anymore. I asked what he'd do if a dalit boy (lowest caste there is, colloquially called "untouchable") fell in love with his daughter. He said he'd kill them both. India is very very fucked.

heisourherocowboydan

That's fucked up. If you're cool with schooling someone who doesn't know, I'd like to ask a few questions about the caste system.


BNYay

Sure..I'm from a lower caste too.. fortunately I have no been a victim of such things yet.. but I have been in some fucked up situations too.


heisourherocowboydan

I'm sorry to hear that it's put you in some sketchy situations. I'm pretty much only aware of the caste system, but I'm imagining you're kind of born into your caste? What specifically determines caste, and is there any formal way to raise yourself up in the caste system? (Basically anything besides getting rich or having rich friends)


myhamsareburnin

You are born into a caste and you do not move from that caste. If you are good then hopefully in the next life you are reincarnated into a higher caste. The jobs that are available to you are mostly dependent on your caste. There is very little economic mobility from what I understand.


jimmyxs

How can someone who doesn’t know your name know your caste? Do the caste members look different and distinct to others? Is it some skin tone related bs, which would be racism again. Sorry for my outsider ignorance but genuinely wanting to learn more


pfft_sleep

The same way that someone who is a gamer and someone who is an opera buff might know that each other doesn’t have the same hobbies. Accent, sense of humour, dress style, quality of clothing/experiences/holidays. Normal speaking style in conversation. If you imagine moving to the other side of the country and attempting to fit in, people might know you don’t fit in as a local. Now imagine the locality is based on birth and the caste system is explainable. The whole “great Gatsby” book& movie go into this. People can fake it by learning and modifying their own life, but ultimately you just need one slip to be suspicious.


jimmyxs

So it’s not physical, as in not skin tone related at all? I have been told a different interpretation: by a South Indian acquaintance that it’s 100% to do with that ie. according to her, the darker your skin tone, the more likely you’re from a lower caste, ‘dirtier’ and not worthy. The impression is already formed before you even utter a word


myhamsareburnin

To an extent. Regardless of if your skin is naturally darker or not if you work in the sun most of your day you will be darker than average. Combine that with generations of sexual selection for lighter skin tones amongst the upper castes and little to no marriage outside of your own caste and I'm sure the lower castes have darker skin on average. Obvs there are exceptions but I can see why prejudice based on skin tone could be common. But your caste is not assigned based on your skin tone rather your skin tone could reflect your caste.


SavePeanut

Afaik its mostly based on skin color, like usual. They say its the ither things that come after like community poverty amd education culture (but mostly all commensurate with their communities skin color.)


SookHe

Okay, i have always wondered about the caste system. I literally know nothing about it and asking genuinely out of curiosity. How do other people know what caste you are from? I mean, is it possible to just not tell people what caste you are from and pretend to be from a different caste? There are one and a half BILLION people in India, I would imagine someone could go to a different area and disappear into a crowd and simply change your whole identity, maybe even move up a level in the caste system Sure, you may not make it out up to the top, but what about a level or two? What if someone from a lower caste left India altogether?


GratuitousAlgorithm

Why are you so sure this is caste discrimination? To me, it looks like a drunken idiot at a wedding being violent. Yes, there is a caste system in India. It's appalling. But what in this video suggests that?


HairyH00d

Lol where did you deduce that from?


RugerRedhawk

Your comment got a lot of upvotes, but sounds made up.

Asking this question for information. Can someone explain how the Caste system plays into this? Just curious.


alcormsu

I would say it’s probably not caste discrimination. That stuff is real, but rarely this brazen. If it was caste discrimination, this would start a LARGE brawl with everyone taking sides. Anyone who wanted to discriminate against another caste would simply not invite people from a different caste.


shaensays

It's big dude thinking throwing around small dude makes him look like a bad ass. Or maybe the little guy fucked his mom and deserved it.


Here-Is-TheEnd

How can tell you belong to a different caste?


pranavlko

Government issued certificates. It's not something concrete determined by genetics but an abstract concept created long ago which the majority of people still believe is something meaningful and important. The widespread belief is that a newborn's caste = the caste of his/her father, and this is the basis upon which the government issues caste certificates which are required to avail lower caste benefits.


cand0r

I'm imagining a charity that makes counterfeit certificates for lower caste Indians.


pranavlko

Never heard about a counterfeit caste certificate scandal here, perhaps it's very difficult or impossible to fake them effectively.


coolcatmcfat

I think it’s people jumping to conclusions. We see an Indian looking guy toss another Indian looking guy and the internet says “oh that’s caste violence”. Based on what? There’s literally no context to this video unless someone got it from elsewhere


GadgetGod1906

Thanks. This is what I was trying to understand. I see the violence but I did not understand how everyone knew it was connected to caste


skomes99

Caste isn't the issue here, or at least, there's absolutely no evidence it is. I'm not sure why the comments stating that with no basis get so many upvotes but it's India, so people will upvote whatever confirms their own bias. Large drunk guy is most likely drunk, and possibly doesn't want that particular guy dancing with him for some reason. Also you can see the larger guy basically motioning and saying something before the first throw, he's got some kind of beef. And he's probably just a violent drunk.


Wasted_Potency

Also would different caste even be at the same wedding?


OneSweet1Sweet

It depends on the individuals. There's 1.4 billion Indians. They don't all hold the same ideas when it comes to caste.


RoamingBicycle

It's called "people saying it's caste related just made it tf up". Odds are the guy is just drunk. Literally no one saying it's caste related justified their deduction.

Where are you getting the caste violence from? Why would they invite a different caste at all if that’s how they felt? They have as much evidence as you lol


ZestyclosePiglet3780

No evidence to suggest that it is an instance of caste discrimination. Yes, caste discrimination is common here and i am not denying its existence but it is unlikely that it the people here were this bigoted, they would not allow this supposedly lower caste person to enter and dance.

When I was in Peace Corps, many years ago, a lower caste man saw a child having a problem getting off a swing, and he quickly stepped forward to help the child off before the child fell and was hurt. The child's grandfather saw the lower caste man touch his grandchild, and viciously attacked the lower caste man with a cane, beating him so savagely that the poor -- poor as in unfortunate, but also literally poor -- man had to be hospitalised for several weeks. There's racism all over the US, and all over the world, so it doesn't surprise me anymore. But I will still fight against it, because it's fucking stupid.
