What Is A ‘Typical Indian’?

[sp1814]

Any ideas?

The company I work for have an office out in Bangalore, which I’ve had to go to five or six times over the past few years and I’d be hard pressed to say what a typical Indian was.

What a silly chap,there's no 'typical' anyone really.

My Son in Law has worked all the World and he once admitted to me that some of his preconceptions -thankfully unspoken/Tweeted (he's not daft) were well wide of the mark.

Mind you don't choke on that bear - is it not your nap time Spath?

There isn't one, just like there isn't a typical Brit.

Man's a fool.

They wear feathers in their hair and carry a tomahawk.

Surely Tonto was a typical Indian, wasn't he? :-)

There isn't a 'typical' anyone from any race, unless you insert the word 'stereo' in front of the label first.

sure they are as diverse as anyone else.

Don't you mean 'stereotypes'?

Do they eat that typical Indian meal chicken tikka masala? (invented in Glasgow I believe)

Gosh, I am really looking forward to a definitive answer to the OP

[Mamyalynne]

Well, they've gone all round the houses so far Tashi.
