[QUOTE="m1tr, post: 2520160, member: 92693"] My two unsolicited cents: Indians can be some of the most easily butthurt people online. No idea if it's nationalism or stupidity, but some people take any random insignificant slight at "InDiAn CuLtUrE" very personally. Next is the brigading mentality; you don't like something? Block it and move on! This omnipresent desire to "let me teach you a lesson", most commonly seen by helmetless Activa/Dio riding chapris weaving in and out of traffic, is everywhere in this country. Maybe it's my elitism or my privileged upbringing that I think of speech as "text" that causes me to be careful of how I engage with people, both online and offline. Was the dbrand tweet in bad taste and/or "racist"? Technically, yes. But dbrand social media has always been like this. Did anyone check if the guy who made the original tweet was offended enough to hit back? Getting triggered and outraging about every minor "microaggression" serves no one. [/QUOTE]
