Racism is not over but it is diminished in the West. Yet I see a lot of Hindu pushback (from diaspora and India) against Christian supremacism and post-Christian Woke supremacism ironically using woke anti-White-supremacy language. People should make their criticism more precise.
If a 30 something postdoc in American academia is writing nonsense about Hindu history and beliefs, you can be rest assured he or she does not see themselves as racist and nor do their wider profession. It is water off a duck’s back. Problem is proselytising “only truth” mindset.
Hindus just do not have the brownie points to compete in this victimhood olympics nor from a religious point of view or a religious-ethnic one. I for one am glad about that. That mindset can never be used tactically for long and it always corrodes the host. We are here to thrive.
There is no other alternative to investing in scholarship. A hundred good books have to be written, and then a thousand.

The West is giving up on Christianity but it is still obsessed with the “only truth” framework. That framework creates disharmony and it has to be challenged.
I believe Dr Elst has said something similar as well. Trump’s latest conservative SC judge pick, who adopted two black children, again reminded me of this. Most generals are always fighting the last war-with mixed results. But successful ones fight the real source of enemy power.
When I was studying in America it was actually a white friend who was trying to convert me to Islam (Bosnian), and Koreans/Singaporeans who were gifting Bibles every other week.

The core of Christendom is still “white” but it is changing relatively fast. We must not misdiagnose.
