       "sub-Saharan tier" is a common jibe used by South Indians to
       deride North Indians for their HDI (human development index).

       Yes, but in relation to aesthetics? There is also this:

       A funny thing I noticed is that these Eurocentrists not only
       seek to identify with those who they perceive as "Whiter" than
       them, but will be offended if they are identified with those who
       are perceived as more "non-White" than them. For example, a
       Eurocentrist Turk will be offended if they are mistaken for an
       Arab. Same with Persians. And Arabs themselves will be offended
       if they are mistaken for an Indian ("Indian" is an insult in the
       Arab world. I also recall you mentioned it being used as an
       insult against Khomeini).
       Also, here is the full video from which the screenshot in this
       tweet:

       The responses seem to be a mixed bag. I was surprised how some
       said they think they are similar to Hindustan (India).

       > Another concern I have is white worshiping especially in Asia.
       And I'm not talking about worshiping the idea of having lighter
       skin tone, I'm talking about literally white worshiping. The
       worshiping of European people, European culture and European
       features.
       > ...
       > Why is this a thing??? and why isn't something being done
       about it??? There is nothing beautiful about them. Appearance
       wise they age like milk and they're not that beautiful.
       Especially after they hit the age of late 20s. And cultural
       wise, there is nothing to worship them about. These are the very
       people that plundered our ancestral home. Force fed the Chinese
       opium. Agent orange in Vietnam. 2x NUKE to Japan. Ethnic
       cleansing of indigenous people. Killed 165 million Indians.
       Stole wealth from our birth country to enrich their own.
       Starting WARS left and right that to this day has never ended.
       > ...
       > What the f*** is there to worship them about??? I'm generally
       confused. But it seems like everyone in Asia always looks up to
       them like they're some sort of deity. It's no wonder WMAF is so
       rampant all over the world. It's so bad here in the west that
       over 50% of Asian women marries outside their race. Normally I
       have no problem with this but the majority of 98% of those
       marriages are to a White guy. Not Hispanics, Arabs, Blacks,
       Indians or any other races. It's just white guys and this is
       true even in Asia.
       > Through colonialism and the plunder of the world. They set the
       idea that they're so much better than us and nothing is being
       done about it. It's no wonder Asian girls go for white guys
       because our culture is so accepting with the idea that they are
       a much better option. That it's okay for us to fall over YT
       people. Give them YT privileges which by the way is a real thing
       even in Asia.
       > ...

       responsible for the WORST CRIME IN THE HISTORY OF THE HUMAN
       RACE. Yet, I feel like we have historical amnesia.

       After all, these are the very people that gain their riches
