I remember just a decade before, nobody cared about India or Indians. Only a few movies were making fun of Indians because of the funny way they speak English. Now it's full of news about how much degenerate pajeets are and how much a shithole India is. 4chan is full of posts about pajeets every day. Did this start because of shills from India's enemy countries, or is it just a coincidence?
Yeah I don't want to pile on, but completely outside of tech I hear stories from my family of unreasonable Indians in business. Unreasonable customers. The kind that are worse than having a different customer or no customer. And as hiring managers. We've all heard about that mess.
So maybe they warm up when you know them. That's not a culture I've had a lot of experience with. But as strangers, they suck for me. I feel comfortable saying that.
