Maybe you should stop accusing random people on the Internet of pretty grave character issues when all that is stated are factual circumstances which I won't apologize for. I can also just randomly assume that you are some white knight seeking validation by defending ephemeral descriptions of people you have never met.
It just happened to be Indians in this case and idk under which rock you live, but shitty restaurants trying to ride the hype wave of certain cuisines isn't a new thing. Getting served sushi by an Indian by itself doesn't mean shit but in combination with all other factors it matters.
It must be tiring to jump at shadows of racism all the time. He mentioned it because that's what he was. You can't get any more generic of a description then someone's gender and race.
It's usually not necessary to mention someone's race. Nothing objective is added here because we know the server is Indian. The author is expecting the information to carry specific negative connotations with the reader, and just to make sure he adds that the server was "weird".
He doubles down on making sure you understand that Indian = dishonest by mentioning fake reviews, that were surely created by Indians. Maybe they were, but that is not materially important to the situation. Fake reviews can just as easily be created by Americans, or Japanese, or literally anyone on Earth.
I understand that people like you tire of hearing your thoughts and ideas challenged. It's part of the reason the world is becoming more polarized. People would rather stick their fingers in their ears and say everything is okay, rather than face the problems that exist in society. I hope you remove the fingers some day.
How exactly is mentioning that someone is Indian the same as disparaging Indian people and equating them to 'bad'. Why exactly does it matter if it matters if he's Indian. Why is race suddenly not okay as a descriptor in any scenario. Or would it have been totally fine if it had been an amazing experience and a "nice Indian man". Would that be equating Indian = good and thus also disingenuous and harmful because bad people exist?
If he was directly insinuating that Indians are bad then I'd agree with you. Being Indian is simply a supplementary detail to the story. It didn't have to be Indian, didn't have to be a sushi restaurant, didn't have to be Google for reviews. Does mentioning a sushi restaurant make it insinuating that sushi restaurant = bad and thus not okay. What details are okay and what are not. If it's just the race then what makes his race in a totally different category to all other descriptors used in the description. Please be specific
