Had similar issue with Nepali. I don't think that dhoti is different just because of nationality.
TLDR, Every situation is different, but if possible, just ignore that guy and do not interact as far as possible. However, do note his weak points, issues potentially relevant for disciplinary action, poor communication, poor performance etc. You may need those details in a situation when HR needs to be called.
A childhood friend of mine moved to a city I was living in the past. I introduced her to a didi who happened to be working in a different department in the same office at same level my friend was hired. Due to similar duties, they were supposed to communicate regularly. However, the 'didi' started pinging my friend's manager asking the manager for certain reports which obviously my friend generates. The manager reminded 'didi' multiple times to send requests directly to my friend, but it has been over a year and they could not get along. My friend later said that although didi was friendly at first, didi rarely talks in Nepali even during lunch or free time. I felt sorry because I was not aware about 'didi's that avatar. Probably it is more a girl stuff, but my friend thinks it is because didi is from a very elite and rich family in Kathmandu, with over 10 yrs experience while I and my friend are from Chitwan and much younger.
I think it felt bad because didi was Nepali, and in your case that guy is a dhoti. If it was a random khaire, you would not care that much. Getting along with everyone at work is not only difficult but also a waste of time.
