The generalisation of "Indians" in the tech sector is doing a lot more harm than one may think.

India is a massive country, with some of the most diverse range of cultures and people. The fact that most FAANG CEOs are Indians should speak volumes.

Negative stereotyping hurts everyone, only by acceptance and embrace our differences can we move forward.

Do you consider "Indians" to be pejorative?

He probably considers being lumped in with certain other Indians pejorative.

It's funny, on producing that interpretation my first thought was 'He must be high caste'. Now that's a negative stereotype!

Feel free then to enlighten us about the diverse caste background of Indian tech bros and how they're totally not all from the same Indian federal state at each org like positions were rather gained through nepotism than meritocracy.

Well it's less pejorative than "white tech bros" which encompasses an even broader range of cultural variations.
