While reading the account, it seems the Manager is from India perhaps?
Edit: I am an Indian and it is a big deal in India to wear "revealing clothes", albeit I have no idea what a tank top is neither do I care
Just FYI do you don't assume that I am a sexist and downvote me.
- juandazapata 10y agoWhich racist thought made you reach that conclusion?
- thewhitetulip 10y agoI am an Indian and I hear these things daily, "you are wearing a top which discloses too much of your body" blah blah bullshit even in the 2017. Note: I don't understand HN's algorithm, apparently, I can downvote every comment except yours :D
- vertex-four 10y agoUnfortunately, it's still not unheard of in many countries. Usually the people thinking it keep it to themselves and try to avoid conflict in the workplace, mind. And most people don't think it at all - it's only when you have toxic workplace culture that this sort of thing happens.
- morganvachon 10y ago> Note: I don't understand HN's algorithm, apparently, I can downvote every comment except yours :D You can't downvote a reply to your own comment. This encourages discussion; instead of downvoting, post a rebuttal.
- vthallam 10y agoI am an Indian too, the only place i think Indians hear that is at HOME. Never I have heard a Indian manager suggest people on how to dress in US.
- thewhitetulip 10y agoFair enough, you can't really predict these idiots, I mean come on, in 2017 we are telling women not to dress xyz.(unless it is a policy violation)
- Neliquat 10y agoExplain how the parent can be called racist please. I get that he may have assumed a culture (distinct from race) based on social cues. Stop yelling racism at everything, it waters down a very real issue. Half the comments in this thread are like yours, virtue signalling without critical thought.
- nanodano 10y agoUnderstanding and pointing out different values in different cultures is not racist... What I find insulting is people who throw out and call someone racist for anything. "Did you know in India they have different values than in America?" "Holy shit, that's so racist!" Give me a fucking break.
- stevienyx 10y agoShe is white, and no I don't assume you are a sexist, I assume you are a racist.
- stagbeetle 10y agoDifferent cultures have different values. This is not a racist thing, this is a culturally aware thing.
- nanodano 10y agoPointing out different values in different cultures is not racist...
- thewhitetulip 10y agoEspecially when the pointer is from thae culture he us pointing from.
- thewhitetulip 10y agoAssume all ypu want, it is NOT racist if I am an Indian, it is knowledge You need to understand the difference
