Why do these people pretend that law enforcement excess, homelessness, government overreach, racism poverty and power abuse is just limited to certain countries ???

I live in America and I have donated to homeless causes here over the years.

So every time someone brings poverty in India as a trope - I ask them to politely look in the mirror.

Poverty is everywhere - just the color of skin is different!

For starters, I don't see any indication that the parent comment pretends that these things are limited to certain countries. They're simply adding their perspective on India, and we can agree or disagree with the points but most people on HN are not intimately familiar with the country so it may have some value.

It also remains the case that the things they claim seem especially pronounced in India compared to in the US or certainly other developed countries. Is there no way to indicate this in a discussion about India without someone responding with a list of problems they see in the US?
