I totally support NepGuyUS and kanchu.....

I do not believe it is because most Indians probably don't even know we call them 'dhoti.' Are they getting offended? Hell no.

It not whether Indians know about them being called Dhoti, but look at the people in Nepal whose ancestors where from Indian and their generation borned and raised in Nepal, they go to school or college and are called Dhotis, they are offended, I have many friends borned in Nepal, and where called Dhotis, why the hell is that, thats a racist word....We Nepali, in fact cannot ever leave without Indian Support, its same in Nepal, all the major businessmen in  Nepal were from  India, they are mistreated calling Dhoti, personally to me that a racist word, I will get offended when someone comes to me and says "Gurka or Jyapu", just by saying u are from Nepal. Dhotis can be referreed to people of Terai, but dude all the Indians leaving in Nepal and US are not from Terai, are people opening consultantcy out here, gas stations, indian restaraunt, stores, professional from Terai, no not at all they are all over India, they cannot be referred as Dhoti,

They are smarter than us to survive in the world and will always remain, we just follow their path, I have never heard any Nepali doing gr8 in the world that even any one recognizes, Most of the billionaires in the world are from India, India the biggest IT market in the whole world right now, US, UK, Europe Companies depends on India, is their any multimillion company depending on Nepal, not at all,

We nepali sometimes gets offended when someone thinks that we are Indian, when someone says us are you from Mexico we are happy, why is that, everyone hates other country someway or another, but I can just say we students in US are totally depending on Indians so that we can pay our expenses and college fees. Otherwise We are screwed up as we Nepali are good for nothing. We just know how to pull each other legs, when the whole world is moving on developing their country.......I cannot even think about it.....to bring development in the country first we must broaden our mind....and grow up
