NICK! You are SO WRONG! In American television they only show the Ugly women… I bet you only went as a tourist and didn’t really live the night life/ modern life in Mumbai, Delhi or Bangalore…Indian women (The modern ones) are beautiful! But the stereotype so embedded in the American mind that if you were to see an image of a beautiful Indian, you would say, “Wait, is she Indian?”

Don’t forget that Indians stink very bad and are the ugliest people on earth. I’ve been to India and the country is nothing but darkness, ugliness, diseased, and poverty.

Thanks Jennifer. Must be interesting ‘reverse’ experience – going against the flow.

When above it’s said to talk about desi misconceptions about America, it reminds me of when I moved to study in Chennai. My classmates asked me if I had a gun ‘back home’. No! And of course, everyone thought I was ‘rich’.

Yes the tigers are not in Africa…that’s why it says tigers and lions.
Don’t really get your comments about too traditional and being apologetic..

Tigers are not found in africa and i dont think anyone alludes to that, not even the americans!
Also why are you so apologetic about indians being too traditional? Indians are traditional becuase we have a culture, tradition and a heritage that predates anything american by a country mile and even european for that matter. Establishments here like to boast by writing “since ****” so its pretty obvious they are proud of traditon, its just they dont have as many going back far enough. When we have it why not flaunt it.

you have a very good point there. Our movies do show a very limited, and somewhat negative side of other Western/American cultures, especially while comparing moral values….which is not the case.
Food for thought…probably will have separate post on myths about Americans from Indian point of view .
Thanks for the sharing your thoughts.

U missed on th Myths/misconceptions we Indians have about Americans….Do Red Indians have a lot in common with Indians? Are there still gun drawn street fights? R all Americans Hyppies and smoke “Charas”? Do they really Not have a family system? Do American parents dont bother about their kids once they have grown? Are they so self centered? My dear friends…these r what we see in movies….. about India n the West….so rather than giving explanations to each other, let us sit together, open our Laptops n search the entire world and be learnered rather show our ignorance and name it myths/misconceptions……our ancestors who migrated in early 60s and 70s didn’t have the media to express to masses. But we do!!!!! I can hear “Hindi-Amy” Bhai-Bhai already……. Chao.

Cricket is getting popular, but I think mainly in Indian communities…
