Misrepresenting the point that was being made, to manufacture an objection.

It was a description of identity politics, made to clarify why attitudes are different in different places/peoples. Not some kind of policy suggestion.

I think i understand where the issue stems as there are a lot of defensive insinuations here. I am not misrepresenting. I am potentially misunderstanding. I can critique germany or america and there will be nowhere near this level of tension. I never looked down upon india or indians and i never considered india as a weak country. Thus i felt at liberty to critique. To me it appears tho that my comments are taken as insults instead of just the usual debates that country or culture X has wrong Y policy or view.

Educate me as i am listening. Clarify my misunderstandings so i can make better judgment next time.
