The funniest thing I ever saw happen was when I was in a car with 3
Indian coworkers on our way to a company meeting. The two in the
back were chattering happily in hindi at each other and the
driver, but
since I don't speak hindi, I was naturally excluded from the
conversation.
This went on for about 20-30 minutes, during the course of the drive.
That IS rude and incosiderate. You think they were, maybe, bitching
about work and colleagues and possibly even you?
List of Indians in US Media, just off the top of my head:
Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, wife, and octuplets (Quik-E-Mart owner,
The Simpsons)
Ben Jabituya (engineer in the movie, "Short Circuit")
Dr. Neela Rasgotra (Parminder Nagra)
I have /no/ idea who the latter two are. I think things are a little
bit better in the UK. One sees many more Asian faces in the media over
there. Virtually half of BBC and ITV talking heads seem to be of
Indian descent.
I've seen a couple of tennis athletes too, and one golfer - Vijay
Singh.
Vijay Singh is Fijian of Indian descent.
I vaguely recall a talented female powerlifter who medaled at the
Olympics a few years ago.
Karnam Malleswari.
Any more Indian stars/celebrities/athletes visible in mainstream US
media?
There is the colleague in Office Space - Samir Nagheenanajar (played
by Ajay Naidu).
