TRUTH or MYTH: Indians React to Stereotypes

- Do Indians really work in IT, eat bowls of curry (and smell of it) and are obsessed with Bollywood? Indians tackle these common stereotypes, ranking them as true, false or somewhere in the middle.

"Indians are always late"
Every Indian: flight is at 9 am we will go to airport by 4 30 am.
Venkat Teja thats Generally an asian thing😂
@@Bayshark501 Greek thing too
When it is about traveling yes I do go to airport at 4.30!, but when going to work, I am kind of late!
That's Africans as well - we are late to everything but best believe we will be waiting for a flight at the airport 4hours before it takes off
So fucking true.May be beacause it costs us alot of money if you get late.i guess
A big stereotype is that a 'Punjabi beat ' is always played when there is a video related to India xD!
padmaavathi prasad coz it’s cool 😎 and enjoyable! 🤪
yeah
punjab is one state in 29 states of india. Punjabi music is only from punjab and only represent Punjab NOT all of india
ajk sp That’s bullshit coz, say for example, if they put on Gujarati music than that only represents gujarat so they have to choose one type of music. They can’t have all types of music in one video.
Thats not even panjabi beat lol i can tell cuz im panjabi
Say mocking or stereotyping panjabi beats maybe
Laterzz Mate
But why is it always Punjab tho? 😹 you do realise that the only indian culture the western world associates India with is punjabi ?
Punjabi food, punjabi music etc. Bollywood is full of Punjabis. India is more than that lol. Why can’t they choose something more that represent India as a whole. I guess people only know about punjabi culture cuz it’s promoted so often. I’m not saying anything wrong with it. I love punjabi music and everything😂 but it’s just too stereotypical lol
"Indians are always late"
Don't worry, Filipinos also. 😂
Indians, Brazilians and Filipinos will definitely make good friends 🤗😅
Anshendra Rawat I have a lot of Filipino friends :)
Just about anyone who comes from a social community does.
Lot's of love and respect from India well , I have alot of Filipinos friends and they're like my best friends and one is my bestie her name is Hannah ❤️
And Mexican😂
"Wherever Indians go, you can't take the indianess out of them"
Wise words other people countries should just know of lol
Yeah!
THIS WHY IM SO LUCKY LIVE IN SUPER INDIA 🤗🇮🇳 THE CLEANEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD , WE NEVER DO SCAM AND WE GIVE RESPECT TO ALL WOMEN THEY CAN WALK SAFELY ALONE AT NIGHT AND WE HAVE CLEAN FOOD AND TOILET EVERYWHERE 🇮🇳🤗🚽, I KNOW MANY POOR PEOPLE JEALOUS WITH SUPER RICH INDIA 🤗🇮🇳🤗🇮🇳🤗🇮🇳🤗

@Xtreme Music
hindi is one of the 22 official languages. So you shouldn't call it Hindi. (:
what's wrong with that? it's just that people just don't know. No need to get mad for that.
What is the common language in India?
in any hollywood movie whenever an indian shows up they play that “sitar” music 🤦🏽♂️
Stereotype alert
sitar bhi chutya ki tarah bajate hain
@@pranavgandhar4604 lmao
@Store Patternator sitar is stereotype of indias image
sitar is excellent soul soothing instrument, but the way they play sitar is really pathetic.
nobody plays that way type of sitar in india
bollywood is more open about music, adopting world music in own ,
hollywood seems to be there is some kind of ego/superiority to other cultures
I'm German and I'm always late, my German friends hate it. Perhaps I was Indian in my last Life
Yes I too think so. Beacuse Germans are super pragmatic, punctual and meticulous people. German are really wonderful people. I wonder how they rebuild their country and made it one among the best in whole world. Among top 100 international companies Geramny has it fair share of total 10 companies. The real power house of European union.
Dankeshon.....

I see what you did there
;-) I got the joke. Maybe you were British as well cause your joke/punch line is very subtle.
same hahaha / ich auch hahaha
@hsb ooooooo savage mate
The intro music is a stereotype. Not every Indian
is Punjabi we have our own music.
@NA I have not said anything against them I just said thats a stereotype right there. Yes I understand the thinking behind putting that music in the background. But the thing is other music which has Indian origin is not popular because people don't know about them, do you why because videos like this on this great social platform use music which they know or think is Indian. And I think I can say what I feel here in comments untill and unless it's harsh and heart breaking or disgusting, they are talking about my country I can comment so that next time they make video similar to this they can use my opinion.
I am a Punjabi, and I agree. But it is a caricature of Punjabi music too. Punjabi music is not all Dhol and Tumbi everyday, everywhere and all the time.
For real tho! Painful noise
@@vishalchhabra2237 agree... Wherever punjabi music comes into someone's mind ..they only think about dhol ...and a lot of noise... That's a stereotype.
Any way ur comment is hilarious..lol
honestly i dont mind ..punjabi music is the best...i listen to it a lot here in bangalore
For me, the most annoying stereotype would be "How do you know English?!"
or if they're worse
"How can you read?"
I'm Indian, NOT illiterate...
Lol that was on point btw 🤣
Yeah.. True..
how can you read?? haha that is crazy that people ask that.
And when you speak English with an accent that doesn't sound Indian, they go bonkers.
And chances are if you are Indian. You probably know or can understand multiple regional languages where you live
I'm Afro-Indo Jamaican and I always wanted to know more about my Indian ancestry. I doubt I will ever truly find out, but I still honor that part of me when I can.
You can always do that with a visit. Visit Rural areas of India you'll feel home👍🏼
@@GauravSingh-ds5cv nah she will experience racism it’s better to stay in Jamaica tbh
Indo Jamaican here too I’m proud of my culture but would never visit India
@@mannyescuela3511 Second hand talks or opinions have no value.

Myth: Indians are only different shades of brown.
Truth: Indians come in all colours; it doesn't matter whether you're Kashmiri, Parsi, South Indian, North eastern, Anglo, eastindian, etc.
@Fahim Hussain As a South Indian, I'd rather be dark-skinned and Tamil looking than a follower of a pedophilic desert cult.

@Kashur Wani
Kashmiris are not indian. They look nothing indian(except Hindus). They are probably the same ethnicity as afghans.
@Kashur Wani
Most of you look the same Afghan Pashtun or Persian. So you must be having Afghan ethnicity. Your culture looks more Afghan/central Asian than Indian hindu.
@@lxwfgh1796 why the fuck are you obbesed looking like an afghan or Persian is nothing special about it

@@val-schaeffer1117 I mean English isn't our language and we speak like 4 to 5 different languages so it's not like this wouldn't have an effect on how we speak in English. A very racist comment right there.

Thank you for your kind words 🙏🏻
Thanks for saying that wish you bright future ahead .

And we are nosy people too😂😂
We are not humble lol we try to brag and one up each other especially to our own people.Uncles and aunties always ask your parents “my son is a doctor what does your do?” Lol
It’s not that they smell like curry, it’s just the kitchens & apartments in most other countries “especially western countries” aren’t really built for cooking these types of food so everyone smells like the food they cook
Yes, they don't have the effective chimneys designed for intense flavours. And the carpets soak in a lot of flavours. Carpets are one of the main reasons.
Exactly
Mohammad Jumah Exactly. In cold countries, everything is closed and there is no ventilation.
But they really have poor hygiene. It is not only about what they eat
@@obnoxiousblob3087 um ya I have perfectly fine hygiene and so does my family and we are South Indian and I never smell like curry either...
I'm a European woman married to an Indian man and we live in India, no plans of leaving :)
1. While software engineer still is a popular degree to get, I've seen Indians excel in any field they put their mind to. Doctors, lawyers, physics, pharmacy, maths, arts, you name it, the brain power here is insane!
2. My husbands hates modern Bollywood with a passion. For him good Bollywood stops in the mid 90s. (Personally I prefer classic 1960s Bollywood). But yeah, it is a HUGE and massively popular industry. We live in Mumbai. Every other person here dreams of entering the business. A little bit of dancing is a must especially on weddings. You cannot refuse. But everyone's very lenient towards others and themselves about the quality of their 'moves'.
3. Never even once I met an Indian in India who smelled like curry. That's cause we have exhaust fans in kitchens here. I guess if you cook the same foods in western apartments especially with windows clothes you won't be able to avoid it. But I prefer someone smelling like curry any time over someone smelling of sausage or booze (both super common in my home country).
4. Contrary to popular belief arranged marriage does not equal forced marriage. Mostly parents and extended family will keep suggesting people to you and you can say no or yes. Another way round is that you have an idea who you'd like to marry and your folks do a kind of background check on them by getting in touch with the other family. Your family can indeed veto your choice if they find you incompatible, but they won't force you to marry a certain person. I mean by law you can still marry whoever you want, but most Indians love their families and wouldn't want to alienate themselves from them by going against their wishes. It's just a traditional form of match making and most people I ever met, young and old, find it completely natural. It's just normal. In urban places though love marriage (without parental involvement) is more and more common. However, arranged marriages still prove to be way more long lasting, love marriages often not so much. That has to do with divorce being quite a taboo still though. Again you'll find more divorce in urban areas, where people tend to be not as traditionalist.
As someone who didn't grow up with the concept of arranged marriage, I could never imagine it for myself, but I do understand the value of it in the Indian context. India is an insanely complex place with so many various religions, cultures, subcultures, languages, customs, traditions, food restrictions etc. It does in many ways more often than not make for a smoother marriage if you and your partner do come from the same or at least a similar sub-group.
5. Yes, they are always late (for private meetups that is). It's something I struggled with a lot in the beginning. I'm a German, go figure. But it's fine, they all show up at some point. You get used to it. But boy did I read a lot of books and bought a lot of random crap while waiting for people in the beginning.
6. Yes, and it's contagious. I am unable at this point to buy anything online at the normal price. I have to wait for discounts to come on. Thankfully Indian online shopping knows their customers and puts up special offers all the time. Btw. there is some places even in India where you cannot bargain, malls, supermarkets and department stores eg. But again, special offers are a-plenty. Never hurts to ask ;)
Btw. even salespeople love to bargain. Like, if you are at certain street stalls that expect their customers to bargain, it seems to be part of their day's fun for the seller as well. I've seen sellers react so disappointed if someone just accepted the first given price. Like lovelessly stuffing the goods in a plastic bag and not giving the customer another glance after handing it over. When you had a fun back and forth, maybe with some light hearted jokes sprinkled in, even if you're paying suddenly just a quarter of the first given price, the seller is all smiles, gives you another freebee on top and asks you to come back again soon.
7. I hardly hear it anymore and during my last visit to the US my American friends from way back when were shocked that I (!!!) also had developed an Indian accent. Well, I'll take their word on it. But thing is, if you speak with a British or American accent here, most people just won't understand you. Anyway I find Indian English is a form of English in its own right. It's charming.
Thank you for this entertaining video! Everyone in the video seemed very sweet and funny! :)
Hey it was very huge hoosh .............. but i read it till end.

@@cruscron359 thanks for taking the time and bearing with me! XD
Thanks for the lovely comment.. But if you don't mind can i ask you a personal question.. Why did you settled in Mumbai and not went back with your husband?
Was India your choice as a job destination?
@@Tera_1008th_baap I always had an interest in India, so even at home in Germany I studied about Indian culture and languages. When I first came here I already knew how to read and write Hindi and had also studied some Sanskrit. Just out of general interest.
Then even before getting to know my husband I worked for a year in Mumbai as a German language teacher at a university and just liked the city a lot. I feel better in Mumbai than in my German hometown. Better food, more lively, more multicultural and also a lot warmer. (Winter in Germany is too long for me!) It's very hard to ever get bored in Mumbai and at the same time it's very safe.
Also my husband is Marathi and has always lived in Mumbai. His parents are here too and I love them a lot (they are very lovely people), so it was a natural choice to stay close to them.
Plus also my husband has his business here, so for him there was no real option of leaving.

bye girl both indian and English as she said . India is very diverse and most of them are mixed in the north
Growing up in the southern US,being from a very poor family I never knew much about my ancestry other than I was of "mostly" European ancestry. But I always knew that there was something different about me and so did everyone else .I was always being asked if I was Mexican or Native American etc because I had a much darker complexion that most of the kids I went to school with...I always assumed that I was part Native American (and I am) and that would explain my different physical appearance. But I was always curious as to where my ancestors came from....so when genetic genealogy became a "thing" I tested with several DNA testing companies and had several family members tested as well. It was a huge surprise to learn that I had DNA matches with the descendants of people that left Northwestern India(possibly from the Rajasthan area) almost 1000 years ago! My maternal uncle even has a solid DNA match with a man from that part of India. Now I have an almost insatiable hunger to learn about my ancestors and their places of origin. I'd love to someday visit India and meet the people.
That's so cool.

I'm actually a Canadian guy dating an Indian girl from India proper as of writing this; here is What I can tell you from what I've observed:
1. Definitely what parents WANT - not necessarily the case. My GF is in a science-affiliated field but nowhere near engineer. Her parents are either in business or military. So - half truth, half myth!
2. My GF HAAAAAAATES Bollywood/Tollywood/Indian Cinema XD She's more into comic book movies like me, we're massive nerds - so often myth!
3. My GF has never once, in the months we've dated, smelled like curry. Myth!!
4. Arranged marriages are still suuuuuuper common in India and here in the South Asian community, but over time they've become much less... "arranged" arranged, both partners have loads of input and it's extremely consensual in *the overwhelming majority* of cases. Incidentally, I am caucasian and her parents are more or less cool with it, and her parents are definitely not in a very traditional marriage arrangement. So - true, but NOT ALWAYS!!
5. In the months we've been together, my GF has been early, on time and late on different occasions - but her brother is ALWAYS late XD so truth AND myth!!
6. The cheap part is TOO REAL - my GF is VERY aware of finances, though over time she has mellowed, and so is her family - definitely true XD
7. The accent part may be the strangest part of all - after having lived here for a year, my GF's accent is mostly Canadian with some Indian-isms (comparable to Shreya's in the video), but when she speaks to her family or anyone who is Indian, she *INSTANTLY* adopts a full Indian accent - it's a very peculiar and wonderful thing to watch happen, because languages interest me a lot and her accent switching is quite impressive! Strangely enough, both truth AND myth!
Overall, dating my GF has been a wonderful joyous experience as we are such compatible humans with much in common and much to learn from one another!! She is truly wonderful and I'm grateful to be with her. Thank you for the excellent content guys - keep it up, and keep breaking down your barriers everyone!!

I'm in love with indian food, the best cuisine in whole world for me. I cook mainly indian dishes so yeah, I'm a white girl that smells like curry and I'm fine with that :D. Here where I live the food people eat is tasteless, they think that salt and pepper is enough of seasoning. There is one or maybe two ways to prepare a certain type of meat and it tastes like paper soaked in fat. I was considering becoming a vegetarian cause I didn't know how good meat can taste. It's totally different experience with indian food and now I'm truly passionate about cooking and eating.

Butter chicken is great, I've tried it already :). Still, chicken korma, meen mappas and chicken manchurian (chinese cuisine inspired) are my favourites.

@@alicer.8966 Make sure that you have a good ventilation system before cooking Indian food. The western kitchens are closed and are not designed for the intense flavours of indian dishes.
This may be the main reason you smell like curry.

No. I've lost my gallbladder, had the **WORST** morning sickness in history, and now our kiddo and I hide upstairs to try to escape the spices. There is no way I *DONT* smell like curry when he's been in the kitchen RUINING my spaghetti sauce by 'fixing it' with Indian spices and putting eggs in it. **grrrrrrr Never mess with spaghetti sauce! Ten years and he still says my sauce is a great curry base...* and to Sabby for his 'in a hundred years everyone is going to look like us" Ummm... I can tell ya: Indians and Whites make dang cute kiddos. My sons adorable and somehow between my deep green eyes and my husband's dark brown..... our kid has bright amber eyes... yes... amber (looks orange). He's stunning!

For me the most annoying thing is that people assume that India is hell or some kind of yoga centre. Cmon, atleast visit the country. There are so many regions that you won’t feel like you’re traveling in one country. Every region is so different and in contrast to each other. And that’s what we pride on ‘Unity in Diversity’. We believe everyone is equal. So go tour India this spring, cause it’s the time of festival of colors. Happy Holi in advance

@@subhambanik4511 I'm not south Asian but I noticed this...when I went to college w tons of south asians they hung out in groups from the same place. North Indians, south Indians, Pakistanis, Muslim bengalis, etc
Here back in my hometown in the southeastern USA there are so few south asians they are all friends. There are like two Indian owned restaurants and you go there and Pakistani people will be eating there. I think universities can create a clique group mentality, especially because of the large numbers of young people of your same ethnic group right there. But I have also seen just as many Indian people realize they have a lot in common with other south Asians.
I really love Indian people and I think also in places like my hometown Indian people's friendliness and hospitality shines and love for their culture and desire to share it. College is just a different experience where it becomes college culture and not what I think is Indian culture.
Subham Banik you are a traitor
India is huge country with lot of diversity so Generalisation of stereotypes is bit difficult still you have done very good job Marina.

My boyfriend is indian, and i can say this is somewhat accurate.
He went to school to be an agricultual worker and help out in rural areas, (so false.) My boyfriend loves the drama/music in some bollywood movies, other than that he loves comedy movies. He always eats veg curry. Even though his parents are for arranged marriage, they are okay if we decide to get married. So true and false. Always on time though, or sometimes early, so not true. No strong accent, but the little bit of indian accent he has is cute. I love him soo much.

Judging by her accent, I don't think Shreya is originally from Canada.
She is Indian man
Wdym? She's FULLY Indian, but was brought and raised up in Canada ffs
Obviously she is Indian
She probably is but it's the way she says certain words, she gets "Indian Tourrets" like Russell Peters says! When you speak another language at home with your family & other relatives the accent kinda seeps in to some other words in English. Like, I met some Punjabi Americans & Canadians and they most have the accent of where they grew up but at times some words sounds like a native Indian would say it.
Got7 Jackson I think he’s referring to how she has a Valley Girl accent.

Sorry, gotta disagree. NoRthies are quick to point out when someone talks bad about indian. They then blame it on the southies. It’s only Northies that are ignorant and uneducated about the rest of the country. Just ask any north-east indian. They would say South is better than north because of how Northies discriminate against others. Most North-East Indians feel more safe in south than north.

The curry smell thing is true in particular situations.
If you cook anything in confined spaces without proper ventilation, you will smell of it. Colder climate countries like UK, Canada and parts of USA are very cold and you can't just open the windows when you're cooking. Hence, you end up smelling like curry. But same is true if you cook fish or japanese or chinese food or make a huge chicken roast with loads of herbs and what not!
My coats sometimes smell of curry in the winter.
You havent been to a Japanese pub, then! You cannot walk out without that strong smell sticking to your clothes, hair and skin. It stays even until the next morning.
