These YouTubers are simply the latest iteration of a racism so normalised that it erupts predictably whenever Northeast India enters national headlines.

Thank you for writing this. I grew up in the NE. It has its problems but overall the people are friendly and law-abiding, unlike North Indians. When I moved to North India for work, I was shocked at the misogyny and prejudice. Racism and misogyny are very real in India.
