I’m of Indian heritage. This isn’t about the reviewers being Indian per se.

It’s about a compliance function being placed in a country with poor law enforcement, low pay relative to the activity they’re monitoring and geographic/cultural separation from HQ. If you read about a bank whose traders are in New York and whose risk and compliance are in Tokyo, what would you think? And Tokyo has decent cops and high pay.

This is, fundamentally, about Amazon treating this function as a cost centre versus brand defence.

> Tokyo has decent cops and high pay.

No issue with your general point, but Tokyo having decent pay is generally not true and cops being decent is debatable.

It's hard to gauge intent, but I interpreted that message as "don't try to trim costs by outsourcing critical decisions to extremely low paid workers; especially in another country".

I mean, should we try to use euphemisms for China's control of chipmaking? Or the German emission cheating scandal?

Simply referencing a country or race doesn't make you racist. Interpreting it though...

> I mean, should we try to use euphemisms for China's control of chipmaking? Or the German emission cheating scandal?

When that extends to Chinese people or Germans that is racist.
