In my opinion, publicizing the apparent discrimination does more to propagate it than get rid of it. The right way is to get successful as a group and change perceptions based on pure success numbers.
- eutropia 4y agoI'll make the analogy clear: systemically oppressed people should just pull themselves up by their bootstraps and stop complaining (because it just makes it worse for themselves). This is a classic American argument.

- bergenty 4y agoExcept they’re not lazy, all the Indians here in the US are very successful and the distinction all but disappears within one generation because it becomes impossible to tell apart castes when everyone starts speaking with an American accent and has American mannerisms. It’s just a matter of keeping on and letting the problems solve themselves. I don’t think you can use the same strategies that work with other minority groups in the US.
