Sorry, but this is such a vapid statement.

Yes, sometimes people ascribe things to culture which aren't due to culture, and sometimes the converse is true too.

It's one thing to say "No, actually you're ascribing something to culture which isn't part of Indian culture at all. This is just him being a tool" but you've made no effort to explain why you think his actions aren't in line with his cultural upbringing.

PS: As a child of immigrants, I constantly see how culture is the root cause of a lot of my parent's "bad"/unacceptable-in-America behavior.

Yes, but kindness is not one of them.
