That's kind of my sentiment but mostly because I believe stories like this keep the idea of racism alive. Does race really have anything to do with the 101 individuals from XXXX country? No. This post lacks substance on many levels. I would have preferred to read about the lives of the 101 Indians as advocates of technology and progression in their country, and the barriers they've faced: geographic, cultural, fiscal, etc.
- whacked_new 18y agoI find that a very strange sentiment. Nationality != race, and there is no hint of such a connection in the linked article. This sort of information is interesting and even important because it says something about the culture and state of education of the country in question. Demographics of the American Math Competition are informative in the same way.
- pxlpshr 18y agoMy fault, I made an ASSumption about the articles message but I understand that nationality != race, I live in America after all. :) Nevertheless, I still believe articles that promote racial pride keep racism alive.
- zubin71 17y agosuccess depends on the number of barriers you have met, but is not entirely based on it. 101 Indians qualifying for GSoC 2009 DOES show "progression", as you put it. Racism is completely out of the context and i see no reason why this page should`nt stay here!!!
