- PradeetPatel 4y agoThe generalisation of "Indians" in the tech sector is doing a lot more harm than one may think. India is a massive country, with some of the most diverse range of cultures and people. The fact that most FAANG CEOs are Indians should speak volumes. Negative stereotyping hurts everyone, only by acceptance and embrace our differences can we move forward.
- bagels 4y agoDo you consider "Indians" to be pejorative?
- SuoDuanDao 4y agoHe probably considers being lumped in with certain other Indians pejorative. It's funny, on producing that interpretation my first thought was 'He must be high caste'. Now that's a negative stereotype!

- xwolfi 4y agoWell it's less pejorative than "white tech bros" which encompasses an even broader range of cultural variations.
- ramraj07 4y agoDo you mean Indian or Indian looking? Can you generally tell which of them were American citizens vs. immigrants? If not, can you see the pretentiousness in your statement?
- SuoDuanDao 4y agoPeople actually discriminate a lot more on accent than looks - which makes sense as an adaptive strategy, since accent is a much better signal of tribal association. And if one pays attention to accent it's pretty obvious who's an immigrant and who grew up locally.
