Indians blah blah blah. This is the trend on Blind recently. Generalizing over a billion people is idiotic. Get a life guys! Like every nation and culture, Indians have postitives and negatives. Take it easy and enjoy samosas and paneer tikka masala and naans and yes, biryanis!
I have met very good and professional Indian colleagues and I have to say that we should learn from other people’s advantages no matter where do they com from
Nobody said "all" this or that. If something is enough of a trend, people will talk about it. You are not getting to the root cause by blaming observers.
India is cool, Indian food is cool, most Indian people I’ve met are cool, however steamrolling social networks with threads about outdated social norms is not cool. Raising your kids in a situation where they think growing up to work in tech, medicine, or whatever the next grind it out for 6 figures field is, where they think that’s the only way to go: not cool at all. Actually, that’s super fucked up and weird. The consequences of that mindset are extremely evident here. It sucks. It produces a kid who grows up with no sense of the world, who gets frustrated when things don’t work out like they expected. No room for error, follow this path, get married at this age, make $$ or else? Don’t pull the racism card, the other 5 continents with people don’t follow this pattern, even most of Asia doesn’t. It’s very concentrated and noticeable.
Isn't that the classical Asian parent stereotype?
Very thoughtful and mostly accurate. Only part where you're not accurate- that Indians are the only ones with this mindset. A significant chunk of Asia has this mindset like someone else has already pointed out. If you've ever lived your early life in India/China, you'd probably understand where this mindset comes from and why. Not saying that it's good, but trying to explain its roots. India has some of the densest cities on the planet. India is also one of the densest populated countries on the planet. Take that and add the fact that India is a developing country with no social security and no real minimum wage protections (laughable if any), with 10 resources up for grabs for every 100 people. Survival of the fittest taken to its extreme, quite literally. All the kids grow up in this toxically competitive environment and out of this rises the rigid mindset about which careers are worth pursuing and which ones aren't, based on which ones maximize your rewards while minimizing your risks. Only 10 resources for every 100 people with zero safety net, remember? If you grew up in such an environment, it's hard to simply shake it off and not pass that on to your kids when you're the parent. Ideally, as people grow older, they should realize that their current environment isn't the same one as their childhood environment and so they should recalibrate their mindset. But who has the time to think through all this and fix their inherent biases? It's way simpler to pass on to your kids the formula that helped you succeed, even if the game isn't the same any more.
I tend to think the same few people are posting several threads for whatever reason they have.
@op my man!
Who cares where someone is from, what they look like, or how they speak. Sit down, get your shit done, and don't be an ass to others. I don't understand why this is so frickin hard for some people...
Testing this app.
If only Indians can not bring their cheap tricks of pulling others down to US .. they will be more welcome. For now.. sorry but you need to learn a lot indians
I saw the same comment somewhere else. Do you just go on every Indian post and paste this comment. Wired man!!
