(1) Hey guys, some backstory to the video I& #39;m embedding, this YouTuber(Pick surprise) catches predators, has 170k subs and almost 150 videos, and as u can see from his content, he catches a variety of pedos, male, female, black, white, brown u name it @YouTubeIndia @YouTube
(2) He uploads one such video targeting pedos on tik tok, and they& #39;re pretty much all brown in the video(did he do it intentionally? No and that& #39;s not the point) of South Asian origins(as claimed by the author)
The problem starts in the comments section

(3) where being racist to over a billion people is just the tip of the iceberg, u see everything from belittling to literally calling everyone from the sub continent a "creep", you& #39;d think, well that& #39;s not too bad, every POC deals with that on the internet everyday right?
(4) then I come across certain comments made by the author himself, and some liked by him (which is sneakingly unliked when I messaged him, he knows u can SS right?) that perpetuate the good ol casual racism and comments featuring phrases like "your people" as u see in the video
(5) so I dm him on Instagram, raising these concerns, I get a block, and a 2 sentence disclaimer, not in the video, but at the bottom of the description (which we all read)
Seriously man? U block someone for raising these concerns!?

(6) here& #39;s the link of the YouTube video I& #39;m talking about, and if any of y& #39;all want a nice crisp dosage of rampant racism, I recommend visit the comments section of the video :)

And lastly, I have seem people seem to be taking racism against black people seriously now(which is amazing, we should be proud), but at the same time racism against brown Asians seems to be more and more normalised everyday
I hope my tweet initiates efforts in the direction of ending it.
I was very depressed reading all those comments on that video and had to let it out, thanks for reading.

If I had to attach all the screenshots, twitter would crash, here& #39;s a sample
