Comment on My world is so much better because of immigrants

Thanks India for the tutorials
No thanks for the call centers and bad hygiene
But in the end, it allows us to meme and joke on everyone, and that’s fantastic (south park mentality)

That makes me think the most exotic thing you ever ate is bitter chicken and tikka massala.
Like the call center thing seems to be a bad stereotype (most Indians I have experience with were all very capable). Bad hygiene is a thing though. I love flood from allover India, but I rather get it served by an immigrant in my country, compared to actually getting it served in India. And most Indian restaurants have very passionate chefs who want to share their culture (of place of origin, India is biiiig) and bring the flavor to other parts of the world. Like, I’ve had dozens of bad food from different countries locally, but Indian food is not on that list. Curry with passion and love as secret ingredients really is the best.
We don’t have an Indian streetfood culture here though. You really need to go to a dedicated Indian restaurant.

I actually never really ate indian food and planned on testing soon! I love the taste of curry though
it’s obviously a stereotype, but call centers are often associated with them because a lot of scammers are indian because it’s a pretty poor country and they have infrastructure to handle this
I would as well, I prefer my country’s hygiene norms and laws haha (and afaik their government and institutions are corrupted, as for many other countries, so better not to finance that)
I’ll stay away from bollywood though!
