Why was Arivu ignored?
He was ignored because he was "un-photogenic"& "un interesting" & White man DJ Snake couldn't care less about Dawleet (Dalit) stuff from India. "Exotic" Sri Lankan (Tamil Brahmin) "funky", "peppy", "dusky" Dee, on other hand is"kind-a-cool" & "photogenic".
I have always maintained that RACISM plays greatest role in the evolution of Hindu Brahminical "Varna" system and its Muslim cousin "Ashraf - Ajlaf" divide.
Dalit, Shudra, Kamzaat, Bhangi, Chamar, Madrasi are terms associated with "Lowerness" identified often by ,"dark skin".
Dark skin of Dalits, Shudras, Kamzaat upon which foundation of "caste system"was built is based on extreme hatred, disgust, disdain for "darker" people of South Asia. "Varna Vyavastha"literally means social classification based on skin color.Still we refuse to see RACISM in caste
The whole arrogance ecosystem of Ashraf Muslims is based on supposed belief of pure, superior "sufaid" (white) nasal (race) of Ashrafi Muslims from Iran,Turkey, Afghanistan etc. against "badsoorat"(ugly) "na paak"(impure)"kala musalman" of "barre sagher"(Indian subcontinent).
Indian Christian community is also not far behind in this fair - dark business. We have "special" lighter skin superior Syrian Christians of Kerela carrying Jewish blood from biblical tribes &Goa's "beautiful" Brahmin Portugese Christians against "dark & ugly" "rice bag converts"
Lastly,
Till we acknowledge caste system's racial foundation, we cannot honestly annhilate it.
No, it is not a "coincidence" that South Asia's darker, poorer and Dalit/Shudra are ADDITIONALLY dark too.
White Foreign Elite pushed them to Dalit, Shudras, Poor, Pasmanda status.
