to expand upon my argument:
some people take the relative competitiveness of gc vs challengers/vct as a sign that this group CANNOT ever compete, rather than taking the more nuanced and complicated view of understanding that gc is an effort to develop a marginalized community that has had additional hurdles to overcome in the competitive space and community writ large. the same applies to india. to say india will NEVER be as good as the other regions does not stem from reason or logic, but bigotry. b0tsi
