So then, Indian people aren’t much different from people in general?
(I think some posters here have some ‘issues’ with regard to their personal fields.)
I’ve spoken on this thread to my own experience with Indian people who are mostly in the bioengineering field. They’ve all been excellent professionals.
Good gosh, of course. There are commonalities with people everywhere, and I work with people from many cultures. There are excellent engineers who are white Americans and some who suck.
Same for Chinese. Japanese. Korean. Black. Female. Homosexual.
I won’t paint a broad brush with all people. I won’t do it. Do I think there are some trends?
Yes.
But I take each individual I work with on an individual basis. I give people default respect until they give me a reason NOT to respect them as a professional or an individual. And that is it.
I will not paint people with a broad brush, because my personal experience shows me that a broad brush is unfair.
It doesn’t mean I don’t see trends. I do. But I won’t damn people due to a trend, I will damn them based on my specific persona experience, and that is all I can do.
And I hope people will do the same for me, even if I know that won’t be a uniform experience.
And I will add, of COURSE Indian people are different from “people in general” given the people in general I know.
How could I, as an American, NOT view Indian people as different”. They are. It doesn’t mean a cripplingly bad or good thing. It just...”is”.
I would expect, from their Indian perspective, them to view me in much the same way. How could expect otherwise?
But that is as old as the ages.
