You cannot, however, assume on that basis that a particular tree fell in a particular forest last night, unless you have been there and seen that tree, or you have a reliable report to that effect.

That is meaningless.

Produce evidence that would point to the contrary.
There is very good evidence to point that the assertion that the percentage of people who could be considered as genius is
at least the same amongst the people with white skin as black skin.
For example consider the number of medicines that we have that came about from finding out what people used and who lived in places where the plants that provide the curative powers we make use of.
Or metallurgy. The smelting of ores to produce metals took place in Africa long before it started in Europe.
And that’s just scratching the surface, and not even needing to visit the sites where the great discoveries that have been made are presented in order to show up the stupidity behind the theory of racial inferiority that some people sadly still uphold.

By the same token why assume that a product from Mozambique should automatically NOT be of a satisfactory quality, and the delivery times and support available was acceptable, and at the right price?
Lucky you aren't in that line of business.

If there was a problem the problem was in the intermediary not ensuring that what was bought from the supplier was not of a satisfactory quality.
If he had done so there is no reason to suppose that the item you bought would have differed in any way from one of similar quality bought from anywhere else, nor is it legitimate to conclude that India is incapable of turning out such high quality. Indian software for example is some of the very best in the world.
This is just getting boring.
It is obvious that the bigoted racists who trot out rubbish to justify their foul beliefs will ever remain bigoted for the simple reason that they like the silly proposition that they are in some way better than people of other races.
Just as well that they’re a dying breed.
