Show Notes

We've all either heard this or lived it: "Desi people are cheap." How much truth is there to that? What does it tell us about Desi culture? We dive into this stereotype and discuss where it might come from and how it affects our day-to-day mentality as Desi Americans.

05:40 [MEME Reference] – "A Visual Representation of How It Feels When a Guy Compliments You on FB and Your Entire Family is on your Friend's List"  - Honestly speaks for itself :)
