Now I mostly socialise with Canadian people and they are very expressive in their appreciation and will mention their appreciation sometimes for years. Nathans mom is going thru hard times and one day she showed up at our house unannounced and insisted she will clean our house to show appreciation for us. Nikhil is tight financially and for Harris’s birthday he makes a drawing as a gift. This time he made a plaque for him at his Industrial arts class. I was just talking to a concerned customer and she very strongly thanked me for taking the time to talk to her and to answer her concerns. You are right about mufta and greediness attitudes in some. During a picnic I had cooked these huge 8/12 shrimps and this woman pushed her adult kids in front of everyone else kai bachoon ko pehle khaane do and these big boys cleaned up the entire shrimp platter before anyone can take even a taste. Big burps, no thank you nothing.

PS many other posters on the thread had same experiences as I have.

Those “many others” do not qualify you to take the trait of empathy and attribute it solely to the WEST. Point missed again.

Bobby could look at the positive examples of Desis I shared in my post…as well ad take a look at positive desi posters in this thread…and he could choose to readjust his thinking to “Well. Gosh. There ARE well-mannered and considerate desis. I shouldn’t tar every desi with the same brush. I should not stereotype Desis.” But you’re gonna firmly cling to your stereotypes and create thread after thread on them. So carry on. Bob will give an “ikka-dukka” example of Kiran who picks up trash…and Samir who feeds the poor…and Khalid who helped an old lady cross the street…but rarely (if ever) have I heard Bob say anything positive aboyt Desis as a group on the whole. LOL. Desis are the scum of the Earth, Bob. They smell, they lack intelligence, they lack manners, and they are a wretched group of ingrates. Happy now, Bob?
