I think you think you called out sexism, but in actually, you have perpetuated it. PP shared his/her own opinion with no attempt or claim made to speak for other people.

Your contribution was to declare which opinions belong to each sexist grouping you architected. You have said, "Your opinion is a western male one," but I doubt you know PP's origin, so you are shooting in the dark.

You have said, "Asians are like _this_. Women are like _that_. Men are like _this_. Indians are _that_." That is prejudicial, and even worse, normative, behavior by you, compelling others to conform. If I were an Asian adult who didn't like the colors, your comments might make me feel hurt right now, whereas PP's comment was acceptable.

Or perhaps its a claim based on (perceived) statistical truths about the sorts of colors and designs various groups of people prefer.

"In Asia (including India) adults will jump to get those colors" no they won't (due disclosure: Indian living in India).

They might 'jump to get' good value for money. The IPhones have never been seen as good value for money in the Indian market, and have truly miniscule market share. Bright colors won't help.

These kind of generalizations - emerging market customers are fools who can be bamboozled by bright colored cases and very expensive phones that are one generation (or more) behind the truly cutting edge phones - shows Apple is clueless about how to succeed in emerging markets. Which is ok - they can stick to America/Europe and make tonnes of money.

We'll see in a year or two if they can crack the Chinese markets, with these plastic phones. I doubt it somehow.

It is true that the color palletes of attractive hues vary by region. In part, this has to do with skin-tone. You can verify this by looking at Make-up for women (who understand this stuff), and compare trends on a global level. This is not withstanding the value for money argument, which is a valid (but disctinct) point.

All true. I was just pushing back against the idea that Indians will "jump to get" brightly colored cellphones. Color has next to no impact on the Indian cell phone (vs say cosmetics) market, which is very feature-comparison and value for money driven.

And males in the West too. Heck, I like the white one.
