So it's okay to stereotype brown people as being terrorists? When brown people are already stereotyped that, so what is this show doing exactly? Driving home the stereotype that brown people are terrorists? And where do brown people predominantly come from? India. Maybe it's time she stops talking about 'racism,' and understanding the plight of Indian Americans and representing Indians when she can just turn around, be a hypocrite, and do something like this. Might as well state that you don't give a fig about anything else except your career and money, instead of falsely pretending otherwise.🤔

How is it that PC is always the sweet little innocent one that just always happens to land into trouble because of the big bad world and all the mean people in it?😆

She should be ashamed of herself for participating in a narrative that frames Hindus as terrorists that then try to pin the blame on Pakistanis. Fiction doesn't mean you wade into controversial political topics and try to pass around flagrantly wrong information that can be damaging to an entire community. These trashy shows are watched by people who don't know any better and would buy into this type of propaganda that is not even slightly true.

She's become a self-proclaimed ambassador of Indians which nobody has asked for to begin with. NRIs, especially, don't see themselves in her. The community is not known by her but by the hard working Indians who live here, the restaurants and food they serve, the professions they're involved in, and for being an educated community that always wins things like the National Spelling Bee.

She is just out for herself and isn't doing anything for India either and needs to stop playing that card. She is in America because she wants to earn in dollars and expand her own career. India isn't being helped by her so-called Hollywood career. No one cares and no one is affected by it.

Apart from that, you can't shout and brag about being on world's most influential lists while still trying to play the hapless, helpless "PC has no power to change scripts" part. Either stop trying to get attention and validation for being powerful or accept you're a nobody that can't do anything. You can't have it both ways.

The episode has stirred a lot of emotion, much of which is unfairly aimed at Priyanka Chopra, who didn't create the show, nor does she write or direct it. She has no involvement in the casting of the show or the storylines depicted in the series,"

Sure she didn't write it direct it or cast anyone but she literally read the script and they do several readings with the cast too. And still she went on with it. Hate of any kind is uncalled for but Priyanka deserves the brickbats and the criticism. I have been one of her well wishers but this truly disappointed me. How are you gonna tell your sob stories about racism and make a whole narrative out of it as the empowered brown woman trying to break the stereotype and then go ahead and participate in the strengthening of it ? Cause because of some bs show. It's such a sellout move.
