the article is quite racist tbh.. its not just a joke... its a nonstop rant against the "invading indians"... i dont think only indians should be offended by this.. all immigrants should be...
the guy is complaining that the italian restaurant is gone.. well its america.. not italy.. italian culture is not HOME to america.. america is a melting pot..
NY Times, TIME, CNN, Blah bleep bloop and a million other news outlets are infested with Indians who constatly spew hate against Muslims and Pakistan in particular in an effort to become more American than Americans themselves.
1 man says something to the effect of reality agaist an American Suburb, and OP and other sidekick try to make it look like it's holocaust all over again (God Forbid).
One thing is apparent though, Indians (officially that is) association with Isrealis is sure rubbing off on them. Funny thing though is, neither are Semites by origin yet use Anti-semitic card oh-so-often.
And most of my post was just satire, to be taken with a pinch of salt. Nonetheless, I hope it carries the message across.
so where is the FREEDOM of EXPRESSION sentiments of Indians???
Isn't the author allowed to express his feelings about the changes in his home-town???
Nobody is asking to kill him for his comments. It is just apparent know to most this was a little racist and so he shouldn't be endorsed by a magazine like TIME.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH its hurts.. isn't it.. today the demand is to fire him, tom. it would be to kill him.. just wait and see... anyway he was right about the things.. whereever ( out side india) there is majority of Indians, the place sucks for non-Indians
BTW it already started, are u aware of the fact that dozens of RSS mobs have attacked a news channel in Indian Capital!!! just google the news... u'll know y???
obviously Time and Stein do think they screwed up:
TIME responds:* We sincerely regret that any of our readers were upset by this humor column of Joel Stein’s. It was in no way intended to cause offense. * Joel Stein responds:* I truly feel stomach-sick that I hurt so many people. I was trying to explain how, as someone who believes that immigration has enriched American life and my hometown in particular, I was shocked that I could feel a tiny bit uncomfortable with my changing town when I went to visit it. If we could understand that reaction, we’d be better equipped to debate people on the other side of the immigration issue.*
