What the hell does that mean?

It means that you will defend a person of the same ancestoral origin for no other reason than that. I don't get the rise to arms.
I'm white as hell. But the dude is being a douche. If I had some backwoods redneck friend who was doing retarded sh!t - I'd laugh a bit and first and then help him out. Its just what a good room-mate/friend does. Especially if the dude is from another country.

Anyways Indians sure do get a lot of mockery on these boards in relation to their population. I guess its just the jealousy sh!t thats inherent in all humans.

also sh1thead, most floors in india dont have drains...but by all means go ahead and assume whatever you want.

You are being hated upon by what seems to be an Indian....

yeah i am part indian...but laughing behind someone's back due to cultural differences just isnt somethign that i find funny...regardless of race.

I don't think the problem is so much a cultural difference so much as the fact that the guy is apparently blind but never mentioned this before moving in so that appropriate accommodations could be made ahead of time.

I always find it funny how Indians hate to be pigeonholed on their culture and beliefs, but then you registered and posted under the name Inspector Jihad. Moron.

Why would the average Indian be pigeonholed with the name 'Inspector Jihad'? That makes no sense whatsoever. Most Indians are not even Muslim.

Has nothing to do with what the majority religion that Indians are. People hate having their culture pigeonholed, and using a name like "Inspector Jihad" is just asking for it. Never once did I accuse him of anything other than being a moron.

What the hell does that have to do with anything you retard? Most Indians are Hindu. Go read a book.

So? I wasn't saying anything about what religion he was. People hate being pigeonholed, so why would you use a name like "Inspector Jihad." For the exact thing I'm proving now -- way too easy to pigeonhole it.

well, this d1ckhead has been corrected already but since it was aimed at me let me clear up a few things for this fvckface: I'm am neither Muslim nor Arab...hence I cannot pigeonhole my culture or belief with that name. Now I know you've no idea of the world outside your miserable state of alabama, so lets keep you're worldly knowledge to yourself.

*Yawn*

I travel a lot, actually. What I accused you of had nothing to with your religion. I'm about to ask Sully to chime in.

You've admitted you are part-Indian, and then you go and register the name "Inspector Jihad." Let's see, Brown person using the name "Inspector Jihad" and saying it doesn't pigeonhole them? Right... most Americans have NO idea the difference between a Pakistani, Indian, Egyptian, or Syrian. They just assume, and that's what I was getting at.

For some odd reason, you, Prole, and RabidMongoose took it as me saying Indians are all Muslim. I don't know what you think I meant that, but I most certainly do not. What I said was based on the fact that Brown people will get so self-righteous and say: "I'm not Muslim just because I'm brown, or I'm not Indian because I look Brown I'm a Muslim/Arab/Jew." So, you proved my point for me. Thanks.

Ok so pretty much - most Americans don't know sh!t about the world and you were implying that if you take American stereotypes into account he is pigeon-holing himself. I can respect that.

Uhhh. I wouldn't be laughing if he had come up to me and said "Hey I was thinking of helping to clean the bathroom but I can't find the drain". But anyone who dumps a bucket of water on the floor AND THEN looks for the drain has to be absolutely retarded. Thats like checking for gas by lighting a match.

so just cause some idiot cant tell the difference between 2 races...not 2 nationalities, but 2 races, I'm pigeonholing myself.
haha and according to you, it's self-righteous to correct someone of their ignorance. nice man.

I agree, no matter what this guys race is, he's retarded. There has to be some preplanning before the dumping of water takes place.

Actually the point is that you're complaining of stereotyping as a brown dude while representing yourself as "Inspector Jihad". You can't exactly complain about the one thing and then go on to typecast yourself with a race or culture with your very name. You further help typify the race/culture with the negative connotations the word jihad has taken on. Thanks.

If you want to be viewed as an individual, start by identifying yourself as one. In any case you have no room to complain.

Exactly what I was implying, but it isn't limited to just Americans. Most people of the world are pretty ignorant when it comes to races, and many of them just say "well they look a lot alike." Sully, made the exact point right above me that I was trying to make. People hate being stereotyped against, but then "Inspector Jihad" uses a pretty sensationalist name, and mixed with people's confusion it creates the exact situation he and others get pissed about. Sully explained it way better than I.

i dont know if you read the whole thread, but nowhere do i complain of stereotyping...infact i do a little bit of it myself by calling the dude a coconut.

and i picked the name for other reasons than my race. i jsut thought that it was funny. So cause some ingorant fool might misunderstand me, instead of him learning the differences, i should be walking on eggshells. fvck that man. thats his responsibility

Same old argument by the same old people. I enjoy the stories. I guess if you're at least trying to help the guy out and not just ridiculing him then it's cool.

Uh ok try to go to another country and figure things out on your first month/few months there. It takes a lot of unlearning and new learning which is hard to do when you've spent most of your life in another place.

The dude (UNCjigga) is a POS pretty much. Like I said earlier hes just f'ing around with this dude when he should be helping him get introduced to American culture.

I Have and i was smart enough not to dump a bucket of water on the floor if i did not see a fricken drain hole. Its NOT a culture issue but a stupidity issue.

I hope that the OP still posts stories. You can find humor in these types of situations (being out of place). Just because you find them funny doesn't mean you hate Indians. People shouldn't be so sensitive. What next? Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle is bad because it's funny and Kumar is an Indian!
