Taught by whom? Without evidence, this just comes of as a racist trope. FWIW, the Indians I've worked with have all been very honest and dedicated to their work.

Parent commenter is, as you’ve said just parroting racist tropes.

Anecdotally, I’ve worked with quite a lot of South Asian people, and there is an art to communicating with them - they’re remarkably indirect but thrrr are certain signs that they disagree. If you apply the same amount of skepticism to an Americans “super awesome mega amazing” bluster, you’d be pretty close to the mark IME.

Taught by a general culture where this is even conceivable not just as a covert cheat but as a public outlook:

> I have yet to meet one that hasn't openly admitted to grift or caught grifting.

This is just lazy casual racism.
