I’m sure some are already aware of this, but please do not assume that all Indian families are like TJ’s. Wiping a pan with a cloth that was previously used for wiping cow dung is considered filthy, disgusting, and unhygienic by all Hindus I know including my own family. Don’t get me wrong, there are some families in specific castes who may do this because they’re still living in the fourth century, but the majority definitely, definitely don’t. One of my old coworkers would always make fun of India and asked me if I drink cow urine. I was so offended by this and furious with him for asking me such a disrespectful question, but after watching this episode and the awful way they represent India, I realized he asked because he must’ve been watching something similar. Seriously, please don’t assume that all or even any Indians commit practices like this 🤦‍♀️

    I think most of us assumed this was just this family being whacko, and not a normal thing.

    Kimberly gets on my nerves but her reaction was perfect….she just got quiet and her eyes got big and she yelled “TJ!!!” I died.

      She is so awful that I find this all funny now. Generally, wiping the kitchen with a poop rag would make me sick, but it was worth it just to watch her freak out. Pretty sure that’s the only thing she’s freaked out about that was justified.

        Oh, I don’t know; freaking out about no door on the bathroom seems pretty justified to me. I don’t know that screaming was warranted, but freaking out, yes.
