Western rabble is not really as free and independent as they are portrayed in making their own opinions and choices and most of the times those opinions on other countries are based on lies and propaganda fed to them by their brainwashing media and movies. In fact we can say an average Wester is the most brainwashed and mentally enslaved person in the world who knows little to nothing outside of their bubble.

西方乌合之众在发表自己的意见和选择时并不像他们所描绘的那样自由和独立，而且大多数时候，这些对其他国家的意见都是基于他们洗脑的媒体和电影灌输给他们的谎言和宣传。事实上，我们可以说，一个普通的西方人是世界上被洗脑和精神奴役最严重的人，他们对自己一无所知。

For many in the west, both Indians and Chinese evoke mystery and confusion. Both societies share similarity with the west and a lot of differences.

India’s social systems, diversity and religions confuse the heck out. From caste system to weddings to meditation to many handed gods to Hare Krishna, there is a lot of things that can be mysterious and confusing for a westerner. On the other hand, contemporary China’s social system and religion has little surprises for a westerner. It is much more closer to a western nation-state.

China has had a different political system for 2000+ years. Their language and writing pattern is also very different from Indian and European ones. In contrast, India has a more familiar political system and follow the Indo-European family of languages and abugida scripts (which are quite similar to alphabet scripts of the western world). Less surprises there.

Both their diets confuse the westerners a bit. Many Indians are vegetarians and that sometimes brings derision. Some Chinese eat some animals that the westerners think unedible. In terms of clothing, Chinese have become little more westernized than Indians, so slightly more compatibility.

When it comes to racial attacks, neither are big targets [Africans and Muslims have faced more trouble]. However, between the two Chinese faced far more racial discrimination, especially in the US. In the US, Chinatowns provide a ready vulnerable target, while Indians are quite dispersed among the whites. In UK, it is reverse with Indians more ghettoized than Chinese and thus they have faced more racial attacks especially from the ultra-right groups. Same is partly true in Australia. In rest of Europe, neither Indians nor Chinese are in large numbers and thus are not big victims of racial attacks.

对许多西方国家来说，印度人和中国人都让人感到神秘和困惑。这两个社会都与西方有相似之处，也有很多不同之处。

印度的社会制度、多样性和宗教让人困惑。从种姓制度到婚礼，到冥想，再到多手神，再到哈瑞·克里希纳，对于西方人来说，有很多事情都是神秘而令人困惑的。另一方面，当代中国的社会制度和宗教对西方人来说没有什么惊喜。它更接近西方民族国家。

2000多年来，中国一直有着不同的政治制度。他们的语言和写作模式也与印度和欧洲的非常不同。相比之下，印度有一个更为熟悉的政治体系，并遵循印欧语系语言和阿布吉达语（与西方世界的字母书写非常相似）。少了些惊喜。

他们的饮食都让西方人有点困惑。许多印度人是素食主义者，这有时会带来嘲笑。一些中国人吃一些西方人认为不可驯服的动物。在服装方面，中国人比印度人更加西化，因此更加兼容。

当涉及到种族攻击时，也不是大目标（非洲人和msl面临更多麻烦）。然而，在两者之间，中国人，尤其是在美国，面临着更多的种族歧视。在美国，唐人街是一个容易受到攻击的目标，而印度人则分散在白人中间。在英国，情况正好相反，印度人比中国人更为贫民窟化，因此他们面临更多的种族攻击，尤其是来自极右群体的攻击。澳大利亚也是如此。在欧洲其他地区，印度人和中国人都不多，因此也不是种族攻击的主要受害者。

Chinese are more (and I think it is the most) vulnerable not to physical racial like attacks against Blacks physically, but in terms of the unpleasant behavior and words of othering, the ridiculing, the marginalisation, the shunning. When they confront it their bullies and tormentors would simply get away “we don’t hate you” yet, the torments continue.

Indians are actually just a darker version (or less attractive version) of Caucasian race, except for their religion and their smelly bodies, only if they show religious fanaticism or bigotry, they are just naturally blended in with the mainstream. And Indians are among the most vicious haters of Chinese.

中国人更容易受到不愉快行为和言语、嘲笑、边缘化和回避，而不是类似针对黑人的种族攻击。而且欺凌者和折磨者能逃之夭夭，“我们还不恨你”，折磨仍在继续。

印度人实际上是较黑的高加索人种，只有当他们表现出宗教狂热或偏执时，他们才会自然地融入主流。印度人是最痛恨中国人的人群之一
