- vasco 7y agoDefinitely didn't expect to find this way of thinking on HN. Putting people into buckets of what they're good or bad at because of what their ancestors did. You're just perpetuating the numerous issues the caste system has, spewing this shit.
- bhl 7y agoOP has to offer a falsifiable hypothesis for any of this to be scientific; one may be to randomly switch Northern and Southern Indians at birth and track their progress through life, but that experiment is morally infeasible.
- toomim 7y agoIt sounds like you're a white person, criticizing a brown person for perpetuating racial oppression. Yeah, it's the brown people's fault. Right.
- hvidgaard 7y agoThat just a broad generalization, that serves no reasonable purpose. Just because white people have done it, doesn't mean a white person cannot call it out without being a hypocrite.

- virtuabhi 7y ago> If you're worried about bamboo ceilings/glass ceilings, don't. It's more likely a genetic ceiling. I am quite amazed how you felt empowered to write nonsense shit on a public forum. Obviously no need for citations because ???
- mayankkaizen 7y agoWhat did he (ptrenko) say? Weirdly I only see --- as his comment.
- allendoerfer 7y agoHe wrote something about a specific tribe of south indians and how they are genetically enclined to be good at politics and that Asians don’t need to worry, but work on their weaknesses to succeed, even if they don’t have genes.
