A comment on Back to India. Parent comment

Haha, that term doesn’t mean what you think it means. But it’s alright.

My point was that OP reckons India is great to return to. And I agree, it is! As long as you’re an upper caste male, like OP and I are. And even if that makes you uncomfortable, it is pertinent to the discussion of whether someone should go back to India.

Ironically, people like you insisting we shouldn’t discuss caste only makes this conclusion even more certain. We can’t fix what we won’t discuss.

No we should definitely discuss and eliminate casteism, no disagreement on that. But you don’t comment “White male privilege” in all the other posts, right?

Well, OP just said they're not a white male so this shouldn't be surprising. They're commenting on something they likely understand better.
