  I’m the racist? The fuck lol

  Calling out the person claiming Indian CEOs are greedy for being racist is the actual racist.

  Go fuck yourself.

    Have the few brain cells of yours ever banded together and maybe considered that if you’re conflating “white” with “negative effects for society”, then maybe you are indeed a racist?

      I didn’t do that, you just did. Try to grasp a little nuance.

      On a systemic level, “white,” is power. Power often means negative, yes.

      In the US, are Italian Americans considered white? Yes. How about Irish? Hard to think of many people whiter than the Irish.

      And yet, their inclusion in this definition is relatively recent. So clearly, the term (at the systemic level, obviously, I’m not talking about individual racism) is elastic. It is culturally defined in the context of the times.

      At a systemic level, “racism” implies oppression by that power. Oppression against “whiteness” at a systemic level is not possible.

    I don’t think they claimed they were greedy because they were Indian. I think it is more of a question on why the Indian people who have been successful in tech are implementing the profit motive policies and what overlapping culture we share with India that would lead people to that capitalistic goal of profits over product. Isn’t that something worth exploring? I think it already has led to an educational discussion where one commentor mentioned the history of worker actions in India.
