There is an inclination to get offended at the slight hint but I don't think this incident is a good example of that. Unintentionally or otherwise, the media packaged the news to create maximum outrage, even though, the actual facts might have been thin—a fired employee claiming that CEO said so. Few start a campaign to boycott an app and everyone else joins in. How is it any different from #boycottuber campaign after they removed surge pricing during driver strike? We have natural expectation that people would stop to learn the facts and make a smart choice but that's not how it works. Social media triggers a strong impulsive response and people react by doing whatever they've been asked. I do agree that what aggravates this is irrational feeling of nationalism and defending country's pride among our folks.
