Indian Food is praised worldwide and celebrated in countries like the UK and Germany. Americans, why do all your comedy shows rag on Indian food? (lemmy.ml)

Yeah I'd like to see some examples. Everyone I know loves Indian food. Hope you're not some kind of troll. Give me that curry, man!

Family Guy - Indian Food

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Aww I sure hope you aren't basing your opinion off of one of the most purposefully offensive shows out there haha. Indian food is known for its potential heat and the corresponding affects.. and more often than not the joke is about stupid americans who think they're chads who go for the multiple star rating and pay the price. Peter from Family Guy is beloved because of his stupid decisions and we laugh at the consequences!

Also, Indian food is not the only example of this.. Thai Food is my particular masochistic joy =) Give me that pain! It tastes so good!

Thai food is so much spicier than Indian food. I've yet to encounter the Indian food that was just too spicy for me to eat at all, but Thai food....

A skit making fun of an American stereotype...

It's funny because Tikka masala isn't Indian, but a British dish and it isn't even spicy.
