Are Indians tired of being stereotyped with the Apu-ish voice?

Haven't seen the movie yet, but I wouldn't say I am "tired" of the stereotype; It isnt that widely used/abused, is it?

No, it's funny, simple as that, why should we care? Getting concerned over issues like this is the biggest waste of our time, it's comedy, that's all it is.

Americanized is a better word.

Many people can claim to be American. All it takes is a passport to make this claim.

And you noticed this when? Oh I get it.. you must have seen ONE Indian kid with a fat white chick, and in your tiny brain, applied that to all existing Indian males. Got it..

Sorry for offending you... I know quite few of Indian males and females, and it is the same: they all would die for a white partner.

Wow they showed you? So how many funerals did you end up going to?

Truth does hurt the most, when its the truth...idiots like yourself spreading senseless rumors is worse. Its okay, your ~700 posts give you alot of credibility here, so keep posting.

Hehe others don't care. If you have problem with your self-esteem, there are healthy ways to deal with it.

My self-esteem? I am married to a beautiful Indian woman. (If you visited here frequently enough, you would have seen the pictures) I have no self esteem issues. When ignorant people like yourself spread BS stereotypes about my culture, I defend it.

You said your Indian friends would die for a white girl, and then have SHOWED you that they would. I simply would like to know how many of their funerals you went to?

I cant beleive I wasted my 2000th post replying to this idiot.

When has a white woman last won the Miss Universe contest? An Indian has won 3 out of the last 10.

I am not saying White women are not pretty, quite the contrary actually. But I wouldn't "rather" have either, I would rather have a woman that I am in love with, which I do.

This has nothing to do with your stereotype claim however

You correct if you are pointing out an error of grammar - and not to be too pedantic, but...

someone who has the passport is an American, not just claiming to be one.

And, as an aside, I've always had a thing for women of Indian descent. There's a reason they keep winning beauty pageants.

With over 1 billion Chinese, and 1 billion Indians in the world, there's a good chance you'll have some in your family someday.
