<rant> The commentary mocking people for their poor English, followed by disparaging remarks about an entire country as if the email senders represent a typical sample from that nation, says more about the blog owner than about the email senders themselves.

The blog owner exudes elitist vibes in the commentary. A quick skim of the blog reveals a request for Bitcoin donations, suggesting $3 as the amount, without considering that a large portion of this donation will be eaten up by fees. </rant>

There are many genuinely talented and accomplished computer scientists from and in India; however, if you are an internet personality and you are constantly bombarded with blatant requests, or even demands, which are indeed poorly written and come off as just trying to get something from you, it points to a possible culture difference. A lot of these requests come from students who are looking for shortcuts, or think that because you have code on GitHub, they are entitled to your personal support. India is a huge country, so even if a very small part of the population acts this way, it can be overwhelming and form some strong opinions on the receiving end - and this is not limited to India.

Since I backpacked for 5 years, I started to have a shallow understanding of culture differences but enough to make me think that people from two or three cultures aren't really great to interact with. I keep these to myself, voicing it would say more about me than them.
