Your friendly upper caste Hindu software programmer sitting next to your cubicle enjoys all the protections a minority receives according to US constitution, and wants the exact opposite to minorities and lower caste Hindus in India, and against the Indian constitution.

The double standards are mind boggling.

That's painting my Indian coworkers -- and friends -- with quite a broad, unfair brush. Please don't perpetuate any kind of racial stereotypes here.

Here's a quick test...you can do it yourself...

The same criteria you use to identify a "white nationalist", use that to find among your upper caste Hindu software counterparts and poke them on minority rights, Islamophobia and so on. They are the inventors of bigotry and racism through their caste system.

Learn for yourself. And as they say, the truth will set you free.

No, that's just... not true at all. Yes, there are some bigoted people -- of any race/caste/socioeconomic class -- but to automatically assume that all, or even a significant number, of my Indian co-workers are like that is just bigotry on your part.
