Cringeworthy strawman. But also demonstrates the kind of rationalization and whitewashing that's prevalent in the minds of millions of regular Indians, not just those working in FB.
- hgazx 4y agoHonest question and I’m not Indian. If millions of regular Indians don’t want Muslims, what gives?

- detaro 4y agowhat are "regular Indians" that don't include ~200 million ("irregular"?) muslim Indians?
- anon261114 4y agoHa, good question. "Indians", as it's used in such contexts, is really a euphemism to refer only to India's Hindus. A word trick when describing an undesirable behaviour prevalent mainly in one community but without fixing responsibility for that behaviour on that community. It's so common that even a disapproving critic like me ends up using such code words unthinkingly.
