 "Kotaku Indulges in Wanton Racism")
The other day I was searching for my Xbox 360 HD VGA cable online (which sadly I haven’t still found) when I came across this article on gaming blog, Kotaku, regarding ICICI’s Xbox 360 offer. Now the article pokes a certain amount of fun at Indians which I can take in my stride, but the image used by Luke Plunkett (author of the article) denoting us Indians is downright disgusting, demeaning and appalling. To be brutally honest, I’m not the most patriotic person on the planet but this image was just low… even for Americans.
Stereotyping Indians isn’t a new thing; I’ve had people ask me if we have a constant electrical or water supply over here or if elephants are still the mode of transport and it really bugs me that most Westerners are so dumb and ignorant that the only things they associate with India are spicy curries, poor (and not to mention) half naked men and women, call centers and yes, my personal favorite, snake-charmers.
Keeping that in mind, we at Tech2 have decided to indulge in a bit of stereotyping ourselves and every time we have an article on Americans or their stupidity, it’ll be with this most excellent image:
Oh! and on that note, I’d like to end this article with a joke I made up in the morning today…
Q: What do you call an intelligent American?
A: A Myth.
