Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

So why is that you picked Indian as being the common attribute among them? Why didn't you say "a few married workers were terrible", or "workers with 3 kids", or "people over 50"? Why did you instantly jump to them being Indian to be the single defining attribute?

THAT is prime racism.

Right, but they were also under 6' tall. Or were politically left-leaning. Or had dark hair. Or whatever other things they might share. Why didn't you emphasize that? Did it even cross your mind that maybe the socio-economic background might have more influence on their work ethic than what country they happened to be born in?

You didn't even think twice about any of those factors and settled firmly on "Indian" as the single defining thing among them. That's racism buried so deep you don't even recognize it.

I feel a bit bad for people like you. The first step in becoming a better person is recognizing your biases, accepting them, and trying to overcome them. You're just in utter denial.
