    This is kind of racist though. Indian citizens don’t choose to be scammers in a way that Europeans don’t. Its a natural consequence of the countries establishment of business services combined with widespread systemic poverty. This traces back to international business deals, political and economic circumstances. It’s not a cultural thing.

    It doesn’t mean that scam call centers are good. But Indians have definitely been exploited by international business. Only natural that they end up returning the favor.

      I called out how it sounded racist, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a problematic scam culture that is centered in India.

      Whatever the cause, I would like the problem to be resolved and not just filed away under “that’s racist”.

      Edit: rereading this, I bet most of the same can be said for the US stock market. And the US credit system. Only difference is them asshats are scamming under the guise of business instead of the guise of tech. And I’m pretty sure they aren’t hitting up Indian grandma’s.

      I’d be happy to see US stocks and Credit Ratings disappear tomorrow.

      I’d be happy to see Indian tech scams disappear tomorrow.

      They’re all scams.

        There is andiffefence between saying that scam call centers are bad and that Indians have a culture of scamming. Thats all.

          I did not say that Indians have a culture of scamming.

          I said that there is a problematic culture of scamming centered in India.

          THAT is a big difference.
