They seriously have that rhyme in India? Like how how that rhyme translate very well into Hindi, or any of India's other languages? And I thought that only about 1% of Indians know English.

Oh yeah, definitely a reason why that’s racist.

I’m not even sure what racist means anymore. It’s so over used and used incorrectly that it has no meaning anymore

It was under British rule for almost 200 years.
They speak a good deal of English in India.

quote:

Company Rule (1757–1858): The British East India Company established its dominance following the Battle of Plassey in 1757, transitioning from a trading entity into a governing power over vast parts of India.The British Raj (1858–1947): Following the 1857 Indian Mutiny, the British Crown took direct control. This era was known as the Raj, where the British government controlled parts of India directly (British India) and managed others through alliances with local rulers (princely states).
