You have to see this from Boy Mongoose!
Hilarious!
Bang on target on so many counts:
(Disclaimer: Not my views, the video's views about desi guys in US of A :) )
1. There are also loser desi kids - counters to the uber successful second generation go getters
2. Phenomenon of desi guys getting touchy about their heights among firang amazons
3. Desi guys (27+) posting 'touched up' profiles on all possible matchmaking sites
4. Bad rep for supposedly being the worst tippers and tendency to go dutch
5. Tendency to upload the most filmi, unnatural shot as profile picture
PS: The American 'Idle' bit was nice too.
Paula enthusiastically cheering from the get go, Randy giving in after a while and Simon rolling his eyes initially and then joining in the fun. Pretty accurate of how it plays out most of the times!

Nice video for fun sake. Not to be taken for the content to be true.
ReplyDeleteJust to give you a better perspective on things actually.
1. Photographs - Look at any school/Univ/Employment photographs and all the 'non-Desi' folks have that photo-ready automated teeth out smile. So it's not limited to desi guys
2. As for going Dutch, oh boy you should see my American School friends going out together, not a single thing goes by without splitting the expense. Even if you dig into popcorn once during a movie. Ofcourse each one buys their own ticket. Tipping may be true to an extent. Our people pay uniformly without consideration how high profile the place is, where as locals are aware of the surrounding.
Again you have a mix of types everywhere.
Anonymous - Agree that you have people of all types.
ReplyDeleteThe video used exaggeration and stereotypes for humor. I found it funny!
I know lots of desi guys who aren't the way the video implies (Charlotte people, I mean you :)), have also seen ones who 'fit the profile' during my stay there.
hey good one. i liked the video too..
