you are wrong,
buddha was indian,
and hello,what do you think,was buddha reincarnation of god?
Buddha was not an Indian. He was free to be whatever he wanted. That's Buddhahood.

He attained perfection in Bodh Gaya.

Siddhartha would be considered from Nepal.

Siddhartha was an Avatar. That's why he's called Mahapurusha, a term reserved for Avatars.

Lord Buddha is from Mongolian Ancestry. So, his face is more like Tibetians; definitely not like Chinese.

Lord Buddha is against Vaishnawa Beliefs(Caste system and Reincarnations).

It is insult to Lord Buddha, saying that he is an Avatar of Vishnu.

Lord Buddha taught only the Truth; the Beliefs and Superstitions like reincarnations are untouched by Him.

Todays Buddhisms (except Tibetian) are all False and Genocidal.

I agree that it is insult to Lord Buddha, saying that He is an Avatar of Vishnu.

But I don't agree that Today Buddhisms (except Tibetan) are all False and Genocidal.
I never see Theravada Buddhism in Myanmar, my country is false and genocidal. In fact, Theravada Buddhism in any country in the world is not false Buddhism.
Since Buddha passed away, Theravada Buddhist monks constantly keep Buddhist scriptures (Tipitaka) intact original through age to age.

Surely there are always some bad monks in Buddhist Sangha Community, even at the time of Buddha. And there are always very perfect monks in Buddhist Sangha Community.

Lord Buddha already warned about bad/evil monks.

Read the following story.

Background story of Dhammapada Verses 183, 184 and 185:
The Story of the Question Raised by Thera Ananda

While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verses (183),(184) and (185) of Dhammapada, with reference to the question raised by Thera Ananda regarding Fundamental Instructions to Bhikkhus by the preceding Buddhas.

On one occasion, Thera Ananda asked the Buddha whether the Fundamental Instructions to Bhikkhus given by the preceding Buddhas were the same as those of the Buddha himself. To him the Buddha replied that the instructions given by all the Buddhas are the same as given in the following verses:

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 183: Not to do evil, to cultivate merit (good deeds), to purify one's mind - this is the Teaching of the Buddhas.

Verse 184: The best moral practice is patience and forbearance; "Nibbana is Supreme", says the Buddhas. A Bhikkhu does not harm others; one who harms others is not a Bhikkhu.

Verse 185: Not to revile, not to do any harm, to practice restraint according to the Fundamental Instructions for the Bhikkhus, to be moderate in taking food, to dwell in a secluded place, to devote oneself to higher Concentration - this is the Teaching of the Buddhas.
