I am glad to have explanations from both Chris and Paul, and while Paul did mention later in the panel that his remarks about the strength of those being rebelled against, I do think it is telling that the point first came up wrt India. And it wasn't just the two of them; whenever people in the audience talked about non-white countries, the language and the POV they were talking from changed completely. Again, I think it was unconscious, but it was there nonetheless.
