Why the fuck are Indians (South Asian) so fucking arrogant and pushy?

You're only a contractor, you know, you can drop the attitude.

Let's not make sweeping generalisations about groups of people or certain ethnicities. Comes off as bigoted and xenophobic, and sadly a touch too much "Murican" Instead, give some context and funny anecdotes about a real individual, and a real specific incident. This would provide for good reading, NOT this OP.

We have quite a few contractors here that seem pretty alright, though I sure would like them to meet my friend Mr. Deodorant. Then again, I'm in the Pacific Northwest where the native borns of all genders tend to look and smell like Sasquatch.

I had one guy working as a temp-to-hire who seemed to be doing ok, though he thought pretty highly of his skills that were only just average. We had a process and length-of-service requirement before we could offer him a full-time job, but he would have made the cut based on his overall output. One day, he sent an email to me saying he would not be returning from lunch and that his badge was on his computer. He told the temp agency that we just didn't get his "vibe" (whatever that means) so he wanted a different placement. She told him to find a different temp company. Dummy could have waited a few more weeks and would have been a full-time employee with us.

I think it is Caste System.

But is it any different than the Capitalist Golden Rule system?

(not that I think either is good in a moral sense)

by Anonymousreply 11January 29, 2018 8:12 PM

Whatever the cause is, it's deeply embedded in their culture.

I've been to India twice, and I have never in my life been confronted with more consistently pushy, in-your-face people everywhere you go there.

Themuch-disliked Chinese can be rude and crass (kinda like New Yorkers), but they're nowhere near as pushy as the Indians.

there is a lot of machismo & patriarchy still in their culture. especially if you are a firstborn son. basically an attitude inculcated from birth: "you are a prince, and everyone else including mom your subjects". dad can do, fuck and be whatever he wants and everyone else must tow to his line on pain of being outcast.

granted, like all generalizations this is just some of them. but the dynamics are still heavily that Man, especially Father is on top and treated like a god.

by Anonymousreply 35January 14, 2020 3:37 PM

They rely too much on GUI. I noticed our software would break more often. Whatever Wipro school they went to, or whatever causes that, they need to eliminate that.

Otherwise I have not noticed them to be any ruder than a needing to speak to the manager Frau. They tend to keep to themselves and are cordial where I am from. I can see why they would not want to be around some one who stereotypes them.

Actually, while the poor of Europe came to the US, changes in law required that mainly the educated from South Asia were allowed to come. There's also a business class contingent

This is so true.

I am in the job market and I have been told by 3 off-shore recruiters so far that I am too old (I am 43) and should retire and let younger people take the opportunity. And these were recruiters working with major tech and financial companies.

by Anonymousreply 39January 14, 2020 4:59 PM

Maybe it’s regional? When I waited tables in Boston during college I encountered lots of horrible Indian men. They treated waitstaff like shit. However, the Indians I have encountered in California and Texas are super nice and very educated.

One of the worst things about working in the Middle East: a lot of South Asians. No question a relatively high percentage of lazy, dishonest, pushy, blame-game assholes. And the lack of enthusiasm for deodorant + severe Gulf States heat?! Bloody hell. Bloody fucking hell.

I did like an Indian hippy colleague from Goa. He said of his fellow Indians: "They're all a bunch of dirty bastards."

R41 nails it. They are really brought up to believe white is best and suck up to white men to the point of being nauseatingly obsequious. At least with Blacks and Latinos, you’ll know where you stand as they’re not prone to kissing white ass.

by Anonymousreply 50January 15, 2020 1:41 AM

R42-- There is no point. These big companies sub-contract with these offshore recruiting firms primarily for this reason. They recruiters do not have to follow US law and can discriminate as they please. One of the first things they want to know is your year of birth, the year you graduated college and your legal status in the US. No recruiter in the US is legally allowed to ask those questions. If you refuse to answer, the end the conversation.

R56 The railways or public transport in general in places like U.S, U.K, Australia have a high proportion of employees of Indian descent. Not sure why. When I’m wearing my uniform, I get a lot of enquires about employment opportunities, mostly from people of Indian backgrounds.

A coworker told me that he was a Station Master in India. He was given a house and servants. Presumably this industry has some status over there., I suppose.

Nepotism is rife, too.

R62, so the Indian women whom you see as rank-grubbing whores are really a very tiny segment of the population. Plus, they are not likely particularly educated or have much work experience. They are likely lower middle class, certainly not wealthy.

So by supposedly witnesses the actions of this tiny segment of women of Indian origin, you use a broad brush to smear them all.

See the problem?

I'm confused. You gathered this from working on the railways? You said they would often come to you looking for jobs. Why would someone married to a wealthy husband come to you looking for jobs? Why are Indian women who go on about wealthy husbands whores but white women aren't.
