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 🤦♀️
In relation to this just in case some people say this: not all Indian men are like Sumit, Rishi, and TJ. But, it seems quite common… which can be attributed to the culture.
I would also say that this show attracts the lowest common denominator in any culture—are all American men and women like Gino, Big Ed, or Angela? Do American homes not have indoor bathrooms like Rob?
No offense but any successful middle to upper class Indian man would NOT want an American woman like Jenny, Jen, or Kim, so it unsurprising that these Indian men are trash. Much like you cannot expect someone like Gino to attract the cream of the crop either.
All those things could easily be attributed to the culture, and might be by a foreign audience viewing the same show.
