@dang this sarcastic comment is a racist trope,
"Britons were running around the forest worshiping trees when Indians had indoor plumbing."
Could you please address this?

Which is why I don't engage with colonialism apologists.
There is plenty of literature to educate yourselves on that.
Admittedly the comment should have been less snarky but that's a different issue.
rayiner's original comment was defending colonialism.
"If it wasn’t for British colonialism, both of us would be subsistence farmers right now instead of on HN."
If you read his subsequent comment "forest/indoor plumbing" it is definitely sarcastic and comes off racist.
Further down he switches to India being older but does not consider that ancient Indian history is whitewashed in today's world in most western cultures.
