Does P&N have any answers to this? Any glorious insights to share?

I'm sure my english sounds funny to people here. Bear with me since English is not my first language.

Your english is fine. Your asshole behavior is not.

 

[Braznor]

Only to those who have it coming. I have already apologized to those who didn't.

Your english is fine. Your asshole behavior is not.

Could you type that again? The accent....

Nothing quite fail like telling people to do their own research.
You either have compelling evidence and a convincing argument.. or you're full of shit.

Dude, I've worked directly with South Asians for years. Could you kindly do the needful and make a rational argument?

What's wrong with telling people to think and judge for themselves?

Something tells me you have much to lose by people finding out the truth.

Dude, I'm a South Asian myself and I have lived here all my life . So I'm sure my perspective in this matter trumps your second hand experience.

Ok, feel free to continue engaging in the same kind of evidence-free rhetoric that flatearthers, chemtrailers, antivaxxers, and moon landing hoaxes do while emotionaly lashing out at everyone even mildly skeptical of your claims, just like those conspiracy theorists do.
But don't expect that tactic to gain you any credibility with rational persons.

My point is that I have no difficulties understanding South Asian English.

I believe so long the general gist of the message gets through, the source shouldn't matter since if I'm being truthful, multiple sources should attest to the same fact. This is because I'm confident in the validity of the message I wish to convey. The reader knows which source to trust and which not to. I do not want myself to be the arbiter of that.

Sir, multiple sources can all be wrong. There are multiple places I can go on the internet to find proof the Earth is flat. If you don't like people picking apart your sources you are not built for debate. That is how debate works. Sorry.

Multiple sources can only be wrong when the seeker uses motivated reasoning to deliberately find information supporting their assertion. If the issue is widespread and general in nature, multiple sources will provide the information, but may contradict each other and it is the seeker's judgment on which source to trust and which to discard.

I was confident in my assertion and I was equally confident that the general consensus from multiple credible sources will state that minorities are facing severe persecution in the aforementioned countries. A basic search will confirm this assertion of mine when multiple credible sources attest to the same fact. Also I want the seeker not to get caught up in the particularities of any link being provided when the general gist of the message is far more important. .For specialized or difficult to find information will of course require a source and link. But there is no denying that a minimum amount of effort is fundamentally required from both sides of the debate to get to the truth.

Skeptical? It was outright denial! The first guy tried to abort the debate by using the numbers from the Pakistani sources WITHOUT attributing the source of the information. (Pakistan is a trustworthy source, if you believe that, I got a bridge to sell to you) Some cooked up caste as the primary reason for discrimination and insulting Hinduism. Some cracked jokes at the ghastly situation. So excuse me when I don't indulge such people since no amount of information is ever gonna make them change their bigoted opinions or their devious nature.
