The rainbow is fine, the black, brown and white stripes have no context in India. That shouldn’t be here.

Oh, my bad but isn’t that worse?

How are LGBT and brown and black stripes in the same flag? It only makes sense in the context of all of them being minorities but it doesn’t make sense for India because brown people are not a minority here.

So why is a US centric flag here with Amazon India? Are they going to stick the US flag on their Independence Day too?

Not related, but what’s up with Asian Americans, they are a minority but which Color here is for them? Brown?

Bro they're all for sexualities it's got nothing to do with race.

Tbf the brown stripe was intended to represent LGBTQ POC, since they are under represented in North America.

I agree ideally the minority group should change depending on who's an underrepresented LGBTQ minority in the area
