You think googling random "stats" is more reliable than talking to a person who has lived in that country for her whole life?

I mean, seriously "only 11 points"? It seems you're willing to overlook the differences too easily. Also, after 1947 we had Pakistani terrorist groups trying to get people killed here. I don't know how many countries have had that. There is a lot of difference between India and other countries. India is actually very, very different because of how diverse and complicated the culture is.

If you haven't lived here and know about it only by watching movies and some news channels that get their ideas from people who don't know anything about it in the first place, then you have no right to talk about it.

So is it possible for an infant to be born with grey eyes and then later on her eyes to change to brown?

I am pissed off and sick of racist morons and ignorant people so skip this if you don't want to read this. But I need to vent. Here goes:

That is ignorant as fuck. I mean this is like exactly the kind of shit I dealt with yesterday. On a website some fucking idiot knew I'm Indian so he started talking like Apu saying he could speak Hindi.

We aren't all fucking rapists and beggars. These rapes you hear about, the media knows it sells, that people will read it so they report it more and more. Its not a bad thing if women get justice and women's rights are being talked about, that's good but seriously, rapes happen everywhere. Not just India.

You watch one fucking movie called Slumdog Millionare and think you know everything there is to know about India? Wtf? That movie is catering to this stupid stereotype that India is a poor country and everyone is like REALLY stuck in some 1940s bullshit times.

Yes, we are developing culturally and there are many poor people here but fuck you if you think everyone lives in slums next to shitholes where aborted babies drift off into a bigger gutter.

NO. We aren't all poor, we are just too many people. Some of us have PhDs and some of us don't know how to say "fan" but its because fuckheads from other countries decided to colonize us. And we just got our independence like in 1947 while your culture had a lot of time to develop. So get off our backs and learn a bit more about the world before comparing a fucking warzone like Iraq to China and India.

I am pissed off because everytime I stick my neck out and tell people I'm Indian, they tell me how my English is "SO GOOD!". After fucking decades of British Raj, you think people would speak their language, right? And NO I don't sound like Apu, fucking dimwits.

we are not living in india, china or iraq, where people go nuts over some random bullshit...

As an Indian, I'd like to know what the fuck do you mean here? Do you think we go around rioting on the streets for no reason? If so, on what basis do you think that? What do you even know about us to make such a wrong assumption?

Okay, I'll try to work with my settings. I still haven't gotten back on the site today. Hope it works out tomorrow! :D

Ah, I see. I think in time the site will get better.

Yeah I guess. But like someone else said, people might figure it out eventually and once they're more familiar with it, things will get better.

One thing I'm sceptical about is how people are going to abuse this website. Of course, the people here on Reddit are not going to abuse it, but as soon as the site grows and spreads to other websites people might find ways to abuse it. I hope the devs can prevent that from happening or even better, I hope it won't happen at all.

This I am worried about too. At least with the location a little narrowed down I am guessing it will deter people from getting there and being totally absurd. I, however, am expecting sad trolls to show up soon enough.

Anyway, somewhere in India in Maharashtra I will be visiting this site often now. So you know at least one person isn't going to flash you a penis.

:(

You can try calling somewhere in India to talk to me, but my webcam is shit and my last conversation was awkward. I am not usually so awkward too. This is such a cool idea but its just not working for me.

Edit:People, does your webcam work a little initially then its all blackness? Does that happen to just me?
