This is not how HN works.
Criticism and counter points are the reason why I come here. Taking offense to criticism is how we regress as a society. It has nothing to do with racism except that its a construct in one's mind based on prior experiences, biases and taking excessive pride in one's identity/culture. One can still do that, but that should not mean the public is barred from criticism.

This is a false equivalence. I bet if HN audience were mostly minorities every story would not be critical of non-western cultures.

This article focuses on a delivery network powered by a large pool of cheap, unskilled labor. The role of poverty levels in India is very relevant to this topic. Your comment is also the only one that brings up caste.

This is no place for blind nationalism or race baiting. If you don't want to see critical comments, maybe this isn't the right place for you.

Hmmmm, it's not blind nationalism but it looks like plain old racism.

criticism a crucial aspects of any discourse. What is wrong with talking about real problems that exist?
STOP THIS!
If you want to focus on the negativity start a separate thread imagine every story about the valley bringing up it's inherent white privilege or racism as the first comment.
