I dont think it is racism to call up bad habits from countries. From my experience, the country of India has very bad habits in regards to hygene. I am talking about keeping streets clean and preparing street food with hygene. Other countries have bad habits too. For example americans are crazy about their guns and their education is underwhelming. It is not racist to call for those things imo.
I am a person of color myself, and Im pretty sure that my country of origin has also a lot of bad habits. I have had a couple of friends from India and their homes have not been the cleaniest, but I still loved to hang out with them.
Absolutely, what's wrong in my book is relating that directly with the Indian people. Systemic issues such as waste disposal or irregular access to clean water are real, but that's not "indians being eww". In fact India is where I learned to clean my butt with water ! and never, ever eat with my left hand 😁
