Would you please stop posting flamewar comments to HN? Your posts in this thread have been way over the line, and you've unfortunately done posted this way to other threads too. We ban accounts that do that.

I'm not going to ban your account right now but we need you to read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules if you want to keep posting here.

On a topic like the current one, if you want to share some of your own experience and cut out the swipes and putdowns of others, that would be fine. Otherwise it's best not to post.

Okay dang i will go ahead and read the guidelines. Sorry for being passionate and being myself, i will try to be someone else. Thank you for not banning my account even though I get ruthlessly downvoted for speaking my opinion and will never hit my karmic goal of being able to downvote posts.

Would you similarly reject the hardships of a successful black American? If he's facing such animus, why do you think it stops elsewhere?

FYI, there are studies [1] and a lawsuit [2] documenting caste discrimination in America.

There are no magnitudes. One person’s sorrow doesn’t diminish another’s.

> indians who have a 99 percent employment rate and some of the highest salaries

Ah, got it. Because some Indians do well none of them have any legitimate claims or qualms. Quite literally a racist surmisement, but at this point I should not be surprised.

What makes you think you're qualified to make such a blanket statement? Especially since caste discrimination is pervasive in India and immigrants tend to bring their culture with them.

I just don't think you could know this, and I wonder what else might be motivating you to make vast generalizations about things you don't know.

You're just one person. It's obvious that you don't personally know about caste discrimination in all of the United States. If you had data it would be another matter, but you presented none and I'm pretty sure it's because you have none.

It's not a subjective matter, it's just transparently absurd.
