"Giggling" does refer to ridicule in this comment. But why would you assume that the ridicule refers to the race of the people involved rather than the actual product? There is no basis for coming up with that conclusion.

I'm sorry that you have witnessed mistreatment against Indians by non-Indians in the past, but that does not give you the right to baselessly slander the reputation of a stranger because you personally misinterpreted what they said.

You don't know anything about the original poster; he could be Indian (or have partial Indian ancestry) for all you know. He might have been the leader of a campaign for equal treatment of off-shore development workers. You don't know him, and here you are accusing him of racism because you witnessed some other people being racist to Indians in the past. I don't know what else I could say to you to explain why this is wrong, so I'll just stop here.



Your analysis is 100% correct.

I regularly work with Indians, and have plenty of Indian friends, and co-incidentally love Indian food. Race did not even enter my mind upon writing my original comment.
