About the racist comments: I have engaged these scammers myself and to a person (usually male) they will shout expletives at me once they realize I have wasted their time and I will not be their next victim.

Interestingly enough they all use the same “insult” that they will have relations with my mother (insert relevant expletives). These people are fraudsters preying on older people and do not deserve pity.

Yes, some (most?) of the scammers are bad people. That doesn't mean you can conclude that all Indians are bad people. Those are the comments I was talking about.

I don't know the specific comments you're talking about, but it should be pointed out that truthful observations such as most of these scammers being indian isn't racist. Nor are warnings that if someone with an indian accent calls you out of the blue, be on your guard.

At the end of the day, not all humans are thieves, but I still attempt to prevent all humans from entering my house.

OK... Your point is that there exist comments that could follow from the racist premise "all Indians are bad people", but are also justifiable by non-racist premises like "most scammers are Indian"? Thanks for explaining logic, I guess.

I am from India and I despise the actions of these people.
