Hinduphobia isn't real in the US. There is no systemic discrimination that targets Hindus like anti-Blackness or Islamophobia. It's manufactured by US Hindus who face racist violence and refuse to stand in solidarity with Black people and Muslims.

In the woman’s restroom near the protests many women have left snacks, masks, and sanitary pads to help others. Protests in Korea since the authoritarian era have been very communal events. Some who cannot make it to the protest have been paying for coffee and hot packs for hands
여자는 여자를 돕는다. 이런 집회 나오면 절실히 느낌. 지하철역 화장실에 가득한 나눔 물품. 생리대며 간식이며 마스크등등. 젊은 나이대들이 이런 물품 나누기 적극적. 좋은 소식있기를.

Except, it's not 'comedy of errors', is it? Jimit Jain wasn't forced to eat a chicken burger. He was billed for one due to a mistake. The staff apologised and he was offered Rs 100 as compensation. But his "mental distress" was such he took them to court asking for 2 crore.

Florida is their UP.

Florida Tries a Subtler Way to Curb Progressive Ideology: Cut Sociology
Conservatives in Florida have moved from explosive politics to subtler tactics to uproot liberal “indoctrination” in higher education by removing subjects like sociology from core requirements.
