But these might actually be people living in Germany, or not? Here in Switzerland there is a Tamil community, and it is possible to have a young cashier at the supermarket or, as in the case of one of my clients who has a social worker, who looks Indian and has a Indian name but speaks Swiss German.

Possible but...

Most people post their location in their profile, plus one of the default settings is how many hours ahead/behind each person (or their IP address) is. These are Indians in India.

The fact is that what we're experiencing right now is a top-down disaster. -Paul Krugman

Quite. A few years ago I worked with a firm selling CAD specs to EU industrials from Vietnam. The time differential was "billed" as a feature, not a bug.
