Yes, it is racist. The suggesting you said was without a backup of resources and citations to provide any chance for a writer to educate himself and as well as educating readers. What exactly are these more important problems? And what subset of these problems are we neglecting?
You think our civil service officers don't do cost benefit analysis? You think we don't have Finance commission to develop an algorithm and spread budgets accordingly?
Racism is looking at us like we are dorks by race. To think that the above commentor has posed this novel question but not Indians only to do inefficient decision is racist and ignorance!
I read Germany making a U turn with respect to Nuclear and fossil fuels. Everybody gives deep arguments as if I am sitting in the policy think tank. That is why I've come to HN.
I see Russia investing in war, everybody gives deep arguments I feel like I am in a war room. That is why I've come to HN
I read Australia investing in Hydrogen, Plutonium, Uranium, etc. I feel hope in the my children and a bit of excitement. That is why I've come to HN.
I see India investing in space, nobody writes the how and why behind their "suggestions".
Nobody quotes budget session of parliaments discussing this at length. Apparently it is enough to "suggest a country to do something" and not be called out for racism quoting nothing be it citations or build up logic behind the suggestions.
As far as my rant, you are falling for tu-Quoque fallacy. At least my censure is acting like a reminder to be civil and focused to the purpose of this site, and has only conjured in reaction rather than prophylaxis or presumptuous preemptive warning. What did the racist OP's comment serve, except for my arse to heat up?
"and yet you yourself contribute nothing but pejorative."
What? I contribute articles and comments from 2014 and this articles is also my contribution. I was hoping at least 10 people would dwell upon this.
I didn't contribute to the discussion? My bad. I apologize. But this doesn't take away my eligibility to slap idiots right on their heads when they try to contaminate a space I love. I need not get a lifetime moderator license for that, certainly not on my own contribution.
So would you mind explaining what actually you want to say?

- dang 4y agoComments like this aren't allowed here regardless of how wrong someone is or you feel they are. Please don't post like this again. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. Please see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35416603 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35416603 also.
- philonoist 4y agoI've asked for your intervention in another comment. With respect to both the comments you gave as a reply, I have read the guidelines and will abide by it. Also, I won't protest you nor engage on this whole thread anymore. Its a whole new sunny day here in India, and I hope yours is too.
- dang 4y agoI already banned that other user. That doesn't change the fact that you broke the site guidelines extremely badly. I didn't ban you for this because I didn't see a pattern of it in your comment history and because we hadn't warned you before. But please don't do this again. Nationalistic flamewar is particularly hellish. HN has users all over the world and from all different backgrounds. People here need to constrain such passions and remain respectful. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- philonoist 4y agoApparently, our civil service officers and think tanks shouldn't create customized solutions to the unique problems and prerequisites we face but should ensure to come back and stand with an appointment in front of a house of a random unqualified internet stranger to meet and discuss about starting a space program. What else? Should we be coming again and again to West because we don't have problem solving skills or at the least, a mind of our own, that we should ask elites like you? Sewage isn't in the streets? Will you land down in my country giving free consultation if I show you cities that make you envy to be too costly to purchase a square feet of land? The most intelligent suggestion you could come up with is to drop everything in our hands and only make sewages disappear. Till then we won't even bath or eat. How about that?

- arcen 4y agoI honestly agree with everything you have said. I have constantly seen self-proclaimed "intelligent" arguments which basically make the same assumptions you have stated and then have the gall of saying they aren't racist. I daresay these individuals need to grow up and get out of their colonial mindset.
