Not one to take redditors too seriously but damn looks like the anti immigrant and an Indian sentiment is really growing

The comments complaining about lack of diversity is just ignorance - India is 100+ countries in itself, arguably more diverse than EU. Wonder who would take them seriously! I think what most of the comments in that post say about lack of diversity is "lack of white diversity". Indians are an easy target in my opinion, they go about minding their own business and aren't easy to provoke.
Most people don't even understand that India is a 1.5B population country, we are expected to produce $500k/yr income earners and McD workers as well.
But on the flip side. There are genuine problems with the FOBs (fresh off the boat) who are creating actual issues. I find it very difficult to deal with:
1. Indians who are glorifying food bank hacks - international students and their lovely videos are fuel to this fire.
2. Indians who are rampantly discriminating (veg only, female only, married only, etc shittery) - this is what some of us are trying to escape back home.
3. Indians who are involved in
scams like these and are openly supportive of these by playing "victims". The problem is with people having no sense or right or wrong.
4. Indians who just don't want to change. It seems like they just want to live in the same ghettos and do the same shit. But that has more to do with who you are bringing in. Canada treats a good student and a bottom 30 percentile student the same way with a 50/50 rejection rate. So, more and more crap is coming in.
5. Indians squatting 4 in a room paying $500/mo outcompeting single and dual income earning families through sheer ghettofication.
Generally my experience working with Canadians has been quite polar opposite from what Reddit shows. I talk without filters at work and so does my colleagues. Maybe, it isn't a problem right now, but it sure can become a real problem. All it would take is one lunatic politician to start the real shit.
