" Jeets view politeness as a sign of submission, implying that the polite person is of a lower caste. This is an even greater problem because jeets view rudeness as a sign of dominance, evidencing a higher caste. The jeet you spoke to assumed that you are a submissive lower caste member and could easily be cheated.

It is a fundamentally foreign, slave-based mentality. "
