No. I ended up dropping it. Along with history and science.

What did you actually learn in school and how have you learnt to use a computer? Scotland is a country! To answer the OP, I would say yes to an extent. It stereotypes the characters.(Original post by rhandhum)
I looked it up, and it turns out india is a country in south asia. o.o I thought it was it's own place, like scotland. Hmmm, I guess you learn something new every day.

Re: Is Raj from The Big Bang Theory a good representation of asian guys?Are you just taking the **** now? Did you think India was an island? What do you mean by Scotland is it's own place? Scotland is attached to England both physically and politically (as it is part of the UK, for the time being at least).(Original post by rhandhum)

Re: Is Raj from The Big Bang Theory a good representation of asian guys?Is Howard a good representation of Jews or Sheldon a good representation of Physicists?
I can't see many rational Indians getting offended over his portrayal, it is a comedy after all the characters are supposed to be larger than life.
I actually really like the character; the way he can't talk to women except hen drunk but when he's drunk he acts like a douche always makes me laugh

I apologise to you both, for not knowing much, but please, grow the hell up. So what if a person does not know what places are, or where they are! It's not a bad thing! You just take it as bad, and honestly, that makes you a bad person. I suggest you be the bigger person, and either apologise for being rude to me and offending me, or deal with the consequences to come if you don't.(Original post by myuranking)

Re: Is Raj from The Big Bang Theory a good representation of asian guys?Sorry, I didn't mean it to come off as rude, I meant it as a joke. I should have thrown some smilies in there(Original post by rhandhum)

I still wonder what you meant by "I thought it was it's own place, like scotland" though. Did you not know Asia is a continent?Last edited by Psyk; 11-05-2012 at 16:32. -

India is a fast growing economy that will become a lot more powerful in the next few years. I don't care if you think I am a bad person, you should not be ignorant. What are the consequences anyway?
