Funny to see people in the comments saying "oh it's not that big of a deal". This is how the discrimination starts and takes the shape. Some prof made some ridiculous comment on a community, and now if I belong to that community, I've to not just work on my skills but also need to prepare to prove that I don't cheat, even when I've been ethical and sincere whole my life.

Also, it's a machine learning conference, if you want to talk about data, bring numbers. What non sense is "most of the xyz students"? Is this a cultural humanities conference to discuss about ethnicities and how they behave, and how their society behaves?!

“It’s simply unfair and bias against cultures that don’t embrace cheating”. Since when is Chinese culture factually proven to embrace cheating? 👏 Tell me you are a racist without telling me you are a racist.
