What I see is that her skin is brown, her features are Indian and her clothes are Indian. She appears to be rural Indian, who for the most part are illiterate, impoverished, and short-lived.

Anyway, that guy and girl - probably had no agenda at all. The posting of it I think is not so innocent. If we weren't to think of it as people crossing barriers to caring - like white first-world dude and poor Indian girl - it wouldn't have been posted as an example of that point.

On a different topic, let me reiterate - I'm so stoked you got that job. It's generally easier to get a better job once you have a job in the first place.

Anyway, anything else I'll PM to you. I'm sure most people aren't interested in what has become a private conversation.
