how is that racist? I don't hate Indians. I said international students.

Hating companies you perceive from a certain ethnic community is also racist. Are all "Indian" companies like this or are you making blanket statements against a race? Are all the companies exploiting workers founded from India, or again, are we singling out an ethnic group as antagonists while ignoring the governing body? Can someone be born in India, become a Canadian citizen, operate a company under Canadian law and on their soil, and it's still the "Indians" fault?

You're right about the international student part, that would be Xenophobia added onto racism.

  1. A fear of strangers or foreigners. 2. A strong antipathy or aversion to strangers or foreigners.
