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. 

Relevant Memes and Bollywood Scenes: 

NOTE: We've hyperlinked the memes referenced in the show below, but they are usually only "click-able" when you listen to the podcast via Apple podcasts on your phone.

02:10 – [MEME Reference, From Friends] - "We Will Give You $10" - Phoebe Buffay is the desi spirit animal we all need in our life. 

08:50 [MEME Reference] – "When Desi Parents Fight Over The Check" HI-LAR-IOUS and true. 

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 :)
