This discussion was started by Soter, a spokesman of a group represented by the pronoun "we" below, in response to a news item. He tried to sell the members of Goanet a paranoid conspiracy theory that Siona Fernandes would have been denied her right to represent India at the Olympic games because she is a Christian. When it was pointed out that a Christian named Mary Kom is already representing India, he promptly modified the conspiracy theory to restrict its application only to Goan Christians. When it was further revealed that a Christian Goan named Leander Paes is in the Indian Olympic squad, the original conspiracy theory could not be stretched any more. So now two entirely new paranoid conspiracies have been cooked up. The one below is especially good because it has all the dog whistles and hot buttons together in one place, conspiring to persecute these poor victims referred to as "we".
