  Gurpreet is your co-worker on the sister-team, over in India. He’s hard-working, a family man, and takes care of his aging parents, all in their home village over the weekend. He spends nights in Bangalore, debugging and reviewing your code while you’re asleep. His contributions to the project are pretty solid too, even though he’s only been coding for four years. His management treats him and his team like garbage, but they don’t let that stop them from showing up and doing a good job. If you ever came to visit, he’d roll out the red carpet along with his co-workers, and give you the kind of hospitality reserved for a minor god.

  Gurpreet is awesome.

    The naivety of the person is what made me laugh.

  Damn, son. I grew up in a mostly white town, but there was still a couple of Sikh kids in my school. OOP must live in a zip code that’s only been written down like four times.

    Gurpreet is obviously normal enough to be on a bottle of Coke where OOP is so I don't know

      Huh, so presumably, they send out groups of names by an area’s demographics. I could see them ending up with some very strange seeming names in some areas, either by smaller towns being grouped in with nearby cities, or due to supply chain changes, and stock for one area getting rerouted or mixed up.

      Like there might be plenty of Sikhs in NYC, but go upstate and its possible someone’s never heard the name, or met a Sikh.

  I don’t get this post, is it just racist?

  source

  • ObviouslyNotBanana@piefed.world ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Well, my intent wasn't racism. Of course the meme contains a racist aspect but the joke, to me, is that the creator of this meme is insular enough to assume that no one could ever be named Gurpreet.

      That’s what I got too.

      Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

      Insomuch as most heroic narratives follow a similar template, absolutely.

      I’m pleased to report that in reality, I did work with a guy named Gurpreet many years ago, and yes, he was a pretty cool dude.
