Why every Indian programmer has a burdon to prove that he/she is not an IT coolie ? How's is that less racist than some redneck assuming all black people are thugs ?

- ankit84 9y agoI am from Hyderabad, India and felt racist reading that title - "IT coolies". I believe the author just want to make headline. A lot of innovation happens that gets unnoticed in Silicon Valley or around the world. People here do not have access to mentorship & peer network so easily (openly available in California), still being self-motivated and connected by reading tech blogs, advises, etc. Just top of my head are following two examples. * Little Eye Labs => Facebook * HackerRank ==> YC
- bootload 9y ago"I am from Hyderabad, India and felt racist reading that title - "IT coolies"." That's why I edit the titles, totally missed the point of innovation from a foreign hacker widely used in SV and around the world. Point proven.
- digitalzombie 9y agoPerhaps OP is just trying to point out that talents aren't just in Silicon Valley. It can also be seen as a counter example against those other articles about how Indian programmers aren't qualify. I don't see it as a negative race baiting whatever but more as the above sentence (goto: sentence above).
