<p>@Patturani-I am from south india as well. What part are you from, like state?</p>
<p>Haha I love this thread! I have the stereotypical indian parents. And they make me take harmonium lessons!
And I have gotten confused for being
Italian, white, mexican, hispanic (colombian, puerto rican, etc), spanish, egyptian, middle eastern, paki, persian, iraqi and heck lottaaa other things! I find it to be so cool</p>
<p>^Wow!lol!
I was like only confused for like a chinese chick. very weird!</p>
<p>Haha I’ve gotten filipino once too! What part of india r u from</p>
<p>I’m not Indian, but I do have an Indian friend who gets made fun of for being a “terrorist” every now and then and it hurts him. India is 83% Hindu… correct me if I’m wrong, but Hindus aren’t known to be very violent.</p>
<p>I’m not Indian but I did watch Outsourced last Thursday and thought it was really funny. Do any of you Indians that saw it have an opinion?</p>
<p>aw thats very sad and ignorant of those jackasses making fun of him 
tell him to ignore it.</p>
<p>hahaha i saw outsourced!! omg it was sooooooooooooooo funnyyy!!
LOL
it was sorta stereotypical though haha</p>
<p>I’m an asian guy who dated an indian girl for 1.5 years. Stuff happened (they were my mistakes) but her parents told her to never talk to me ever again. And I’m still broken over it.</p>
<p>the Arabs invaded Rome in the year 711…helps me remember the year…no offense haha</p>
<p>hey , we seem to have a lot south indians on this thread.</p>
<p>haha arabs arent indian, samd?</p>
<p>inquisitiveone, her parents knew you guys were dating? wow, thats surprising. my parents would have a heart attack if they ever found out i had a boyfriend</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No, they didn’t find out until 1.5 years in, when they forced her to let them read her emails.</p>
<p>oh samd, the arabs invaded spain, not rome. </p>
<p>and inquisitiveone, that suckssssssssssssssssssssssssss omgoodness!
i am so so so careful with my parents when it comes to my boyfriends. </p>
<p>if both of you still wanna be together, why not just do it without her telling her parents?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Aww thanks for the sympathy. I really appreciate it a lot.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Wow, you have a boyfriend. Is he indian? Would your parents even be more shocked if he wasn’t indian?</p>
<p>I know Indian parents really want their kids to get married too - but I don’t know when they’d want their kids to get married (especially since they often forbid dating for a long time). </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’s too late. 
She cut off contact with me. They didn’t know we were together for 1.5 years though. They also have a very, very low opinion of me. :(</p>
<p>haha its no problem! but ah, i know where youre coming from (my friend has been in love with this boy for 3 years, and had to cut all ties with her ex bf because the guys mom hated her for some arbitrary reason)</p>
<p>haha well right now i have one that isnt indian but hes part middle eastern…
and my parents would be shocked, regardless of if he was indian or not! they would honestly kill me, and threaten to send me back to boarding school in india! how crazy!</p>
<p>haha yes, my parents want me to marry an indian boy. oh and apparently, i can “date after im married”</p>
<p>i am so so so so sooooooooo sorrry to hear that! if u dont mind me asking, what happened with you guys and what triggered their low opinion of you? she mustve gotten into a lot of trouble because of it right?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>aww okay I see. Thanks for all the examples again - I really appreciate them. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Basically, Indian parents are really obsessed with GPAs. And my GPA is way too low for their standards (even though I’ve managed to significantly improve it last year since I finally got diagnosed with ADD and put on medication). Even though I have other ways to prove my intelligence. But also, I don’t really have any culture. I also don’t have any extracurriculars or real life friends. I mostly just study and spend time on forums and other websites. And they really look down on that. </p>
<p>They got really angry at her for some time - but I’m sure they’ve forgiven her now. But maybe it still pops up - I have no idea due to the cutoff of contact. :(</p>
<p>As for what happened - it was my fault. Basically, I wasn’t always that responsive to her phone calls or messages. But I didn’t realize that she was bothered by it (and then we really could have had an honest conversation about it, and then discussed ways to improve our relationship). Anyways she started becoming detached from me and I started getting clingy. And then I said some mean things to her (I’m really sorry about it and I’ve told her that numerous times). But it was enough to cut off ties.</p>
<p>^Generally yes, unless you steal their junk food, then it’s a different story</p>
<p>Sorry, I meant that in relation to the Indians being non-violent post, not to anything else</p>
<p>so any have you watched any new movies?</p>
