Bad reputation.

At the post office today, me and my (Indian/Malay mix) friend parked our cars and were walking towards the PO that has two door entrance, you know the kind that is suppose to be more energy efficient. By the time we got to the door we saw a lady pacing towards us. As I wasn’t in a hurry I kept the back door open and gestured towards her to go ahead and she pleasantly replied with a Thanks. And as she entered from the first door, struggling to find something in her hand bag, my friend leapt forward to open the next door for her. She replied with a warm “Wow, THANK YOU”. And then asked us “Where are you guys from?”

“I grew up in Malaysia” replied my friend.

“That explains it”, making a distinctive face, “I know an Indian would never do that”.

“Yeah, I know .. and he is from Pakistan” replied my quick wit friend with a big grin. And went on to bad mouth the Indians for another five minutes while we all waited in the queue. Turns out, her mothers’ from India and her Dads’ a white dude.

Anyway, I didn’t know Indians had such a bad reputation. The ones I have met are generally very polite and wouldn’t mind opening the door for a woman.

Re: Bad reputation.

"her mothers’ from India"

wow. and she still thought Indians are bad??? Hmmm. maybe she jus had a bad relationship with her mom?

Re: Bad reputation.

Was She WHITE.......................if so it explains it all!!!!!

Re: Bad reputation.

I would have never guessed she had Desi blood, not from her features or her .. umm .. dress.

Re: Bad reputation.

well Indians do dress very liberally ahmadjee ... and some pakistanis too :p

Re: Bad reputation.

She must have been brought up in the ~Western Way~ and has classed her self as a Full American you could say she is a Coconut

Re: Bad reputation.

See here is the problem. :smiley:
We indians are getting badnam because of many ill-mannered Pakistani.s Thing is that It is not easy to distinguish between Indian and Pakistani if you are a gora so we Indian get blamed many times. :smiley: :wink:

Jokes apart,… This was just an stupid comment by her. These kind of blanket statements are always stupid. There are illmannered people in all culture and nationalities. Also if you are in USA , usually when they say Indians here they basically mean all South Asians. Pretty much what “Paki” means in UK.

Re: Bad reputation.

^ it wasnt stupid, most desi men wouldnt do that and i am not talkin about westernized desi men, i am talkin about the ones in pakistan and india. Even though we are suppose to be more polite (following our prophet (pbuh) ), other ppl r so much more sweeter and well mannered. In pakistan its like bad to smile at strangers..like ur flirting or something

Re: Bad reputation.

Think you are Spot on with your Comments, I totally agree. Some Asians have bad reputation regarding attitude and inability to communicate with others the the UK.

Re: Bad reputation.

It is true that everyone has a different experience but this is the second comment I have heard about bad Desi manners in a week.

Re: Bad reputation.

Please don’t get me wrong, some Desi guys are well manned than some British /American Asians.

Re: Bad reputation.

It is not about Fobz or ABCDs .. it is not written on your forehead if you are a fob or if you are Indian, Bengali or Nepali.

In MY experience, most Desi guys are polite but cheeky, while ABCDs are straight faced but easy to figure out.

Re: Bad reputation.

Re: Bad reputation.
