I'm not surprised at all. I've always believed this...Indian are some of the most racist, ethnocentric, narrow minded race of people on this earth, not Americans, which I was told a few years back. During this Indian Idol frenzy, if you didn't notice something earlier, you would have never seen this thing coming. Did you see on one of the past episode, the contestants were making fun of the Chinese guy by making remark of this chinky eye, I mean they were literally going around with their finger around their eyes (the usual Asian eye sign). It shocked me and took me back in time to realize what these people are like (still immature for global economy) Now it's time for the Nepali to face the humiliation. See the trend. For God sake, there's no sense of PC and accountability among the desi. For those people who've no problem with this, I just want to say that you've have a choice, take the insult or stand for it once and for all on the national level. You know they could have chosen Prasant to do other role, why Chowkidar? Coincidence? Or blatant stereotype? Had it been there in the US, the show would have been canceled already, with tons of lawsuit.
