the_good_guy
i'm a chinese guy, and my g/f is indian (sikh, punjabi). We both went to UCLA -- she got involved w/the UCLA bhangra team 3 years ago.
I never thought they would be cool w/me because i was a Chinese guy, not Indian. But boy was I wrong, 'cause those people were really awesome and became some of my best friends. Plus it also helped that I helped them put together their Annual UC Bhangra Competition for 2 years. 🙂
And I guess having that inside track w/the Sikh community really did my outlook on most of the indian people on the UCLA campus. Now, not all of them were awesome -- just the ones that I knew. There were still a majority of the Desi population at UCLA that wouldn't give you the time of day unless you were driving a 5series or a Benz.
But yea, i can see where you're coming from...it's really unfortunate it has to be like that because it's always about the $$ 🙁
Anyway, if you are into Bhangra, come to this year's UC Bhangra Competition. I think we're having it in the Long Beach Terrace Theater..not sure about that, but i'll let you know dude. If you haven't gone before, it's so much fun to just be there -- and there's plenty of girls too...................to look at, but still. heh
TO ALL
I send out my apologies for contributing to the thread crapping in this thread. I had thought that UCLAXMAN was actually becoming civil when he wanted to play bball, but I was wrong. Anyway, I hope you all don't beat me up when I show up at Tsaico's house. 🙂
And to keep this post thread related:
Tsaico - i'm assuming that since we're gonna pay you for the bbq stuff, you're going to provide it? Do you need any help in getting stuff for your bbq? I have a hookup at the UCLA tennis center and i can get massive amounts of gatorade cups if you want. 🙂 heh
