No, but I thought calling people's threads "retarded" qualified as giving him a hard time for what seemed like an honest question.

(OP is clearly very skilled and excels at logic ;) )

We can't give people hard times? That's retarded!

considernig how few people actually know anandtech is from an indian name...i don't think it matters. sure you havea few indian user names, but the user base is probably not dominated by them. annadtech got famous for being a good tech site and attracted nerds of all races. people didn't come here to see an indian. asians and i mean including chinese etc are probably overrepresented on this board sure. thats how it is on college campus's as well. nothing new

There could be plenty of good reasons why the demographic of these forms would be more Indian than any other tech forum.

Whether it is, I don't know, but there could be many good reasons to make it so.

Yes he's 1/2 Indian as you mentioned yourself and as you can see here:

(Nice pic there with the cowgirl booth-babe Anand!)

That's not Anand with the cowgirl. Besides that not even being his face, Anand 1) Wears glasses and 2) Is always in a suit or equivalent when he's doing business.

yup, wrong pic! he's the small tiny pic but not with boothbabe.

1/2? whats the other half?
Iranian.

For about 4 years when I hardly ever came here I thought it was something like 'ann an tech' because it made no sense to me. Then I heard anandtech and I was like well there it is!

I think most are Asian but American-Azn

what? most here are white.

Probably but I don't care :p

the incredible lack of melanin scares me. :p

Think of all the sunscreen. I'm surprised Coppertone doesn't advertise here... or is that because nerds never see the sun :confused:?

I said Asia Indian because if I did not then most of you ****s would ask "which Indian". I seen an Indian name and I thought "hmm is this site occupied by a mostly Indian population?"
I doubt that the people whom are giving me a hard time are actually angry at me. I'm guessing most of the insecure are upset that an Indian man created of the place they spend time in.
Inspector Jihad the gorilla avatar suits you well.
