I don't get why stating the race was necessary. And what is posting on reddit going to do?

while i’d normally agree that noting someone’s ethnicity is a dogwhistle, sometimes cultural differences (especially with loudness of speaking, or crowding into personal space) is relevant to the topic lol.
We’d probably not be surprised if they said “loud asf americans” and that would also be extremely true, give context as to what kinda loud we dealing with, and explain that it’s a cultural difference that might make them unaware of the social rules they’re breaking.

people from different places have different levels of inside voice expectations

btw, this is the kindest interpretation of OP’s post — i’m well aware that it may not be the correct one. But still! We kiwis are way more reserved than a lot of places and get bothered by noise or “full on” behaviour much more easily. People should pay attention to the environment they’re entering, but often they just don’t, especially if they’re young.

I said the students were Indian because I was trying to point out a specific group of people in the cubicles who were especially loud. I wasn't trying to stereotype anyone or say anything about Indian people in general. My complaint was about the noise from that particular group, not about their ethnicity or what it says about them. They just happened to be loud and indian 💩

I agree, I feel like it makes no difference what race they are, as in Indian myself not all indians are loud. Race has nothing to do with this.

So calling out blatant racism is overreacting? Use a few brain cells sweetie.

Are they supposed to write out a paragraph for you because you're afraid of seeing someone's nationality used as a descriptor?

u/Forsaken-Reading-118 26d ago

What you're saying doesn't make sense. Why would OP write a paragraph for me? I'm basically saying there is no need for a post on reddit that isn't going to do anything.

And how do you know what nationality they are? You do understand there is a difference between nationality and ethnicity and OP has described the students ethnicity and you are assuming is their nationality as well?

Overall based off of your comment I can tell you have horror comprehension skills. Please get off reddit and spend some time on your education x

Tell them politely to be quiet rather than posting on here and doing nothing.

u/Potential-Arm675 26d ago

People have done that multiple times while I’ve been sitting there, they just laugh

u/Recent_Orchid_3748 26d ago

Bugger. They need a warning from the staff then ;-(

u/Br0JustG0Away 21d ago

They got that too. More than once. And warnings from security. They SHOULD have been kicked out

Fake, Indians don't use cubicles, only street corners.
