There was, unfortunately, but most of it has since been (correctly) flagged.



Respectfully, I don’t think enough has been removed.

As someone with Indian heritage it’s super disheartening to see plenty of comments negatively generalizing a diaspora of over 1B people.

Treating anyone who presents as Indian as apart of cultural monolith is absurd. I was born and raised in the US, and have no connection to the alleged cronyism or caste-based discrimination.

Many of these comments make blanket statements about Indians. I don’t think the same moderation guidelines are being applied in this case. Replace Indians with Europeans, Black people or any other ethnicity and it should become clear that this violates the site’s guidelines.

Here are a few top level examples:

The diaspora is only a few dozen million, isn't it? I don't think you want to count every Indian inside of India as being in the 'diaspora'?

Nitpick aside, I agree. (I wrote the original comment above.)
