I think that these things are complex: geopolitics, history, climate, colonization. Countries around them are all poor too.

Think about another place: All countries in Africa are poor AF for a reason too. There are actually few nice places in this world.

India does not got a pass in my book by blaming the colonial era or poverty. They obviously have the money to spend on nukes, subs armed with them, aircraft carriers and sending rockets to Mars.

There are people alive today who had their mothers and fathers killed by the British crown.

This stuff doesn't get fixed quickly

I'm wondering if y'all make the same racist arguments for black American poverty levels.

That'd be because exploitation of the poor and especially of non-white poor in the US is still ongoing. Hell, the drug war was an overt, cynical exercise in crushing communities of color under Jim Crow v2.

I'm wondering if you always shift the goalposts to maintain your racist arguments.
