Public protest against Amazon

I would argue that reducing more than a billion people who don’t even speak the same language, eat the same food, listen to the same music, worship the same gods... to a single stereotype is the sweaty face of ingorance, no matter how you try to dress it up or defend it. The fact that “arguments” such as yours always seem to be devoid of a grounding in reality and exist as appeals to emotion or common sense speaks for itself too. In short, ignorance and heuristics combine to produce bullshit every time.

You got to be kidding. Here are the things I can safely say about most Indians, not all, "most": 1. They eat roti and rice. 2. They speak Hindi 3. They wash not wipe their ass. 4. They are Hindu and worship one of the Avtars of shiva and all believe in bharma and bhraman. Some things are common across a culture. The first step is to acknowledge the problem then we can solve it

The first step is actually learning about something to the point that, when you talk about it, you’re doing something other than revealing and revelling in your own ignorance.

For example...

1. Rice and flatbread are staples around the world. All of India doesn’t eat roti, feel free to learn about the many varied cuisines of India sometime. For example, some parts of India have a tradition of eating beef, others of eating pork, still others tend to be vegetarian. Some regions have blazingly spicy cuisine, others are mild.

2. No, again, even a cursory search online would show you otherwise.

3. Stop spying on people in the toilet.

4. Only the Hindus, not the Muslims, Sikhs, and other religions.

I won’t be replying again, I’m having a hard time assuming that you’re posting in good faith, and if you are that’s worse in a way.
