They are Indian too - Page 7

Let me say something, but please no-one take offence. :$
I agree with the post above that they are indeed very beautiful and all Indians shouldn't just generalise what a so called "normal" Indian is supposed to look like. But just tell me something. In the 21st century where even the poorest of villages are completlely hooked to Bollywood movies, bollywood actors, actresses, how are these poor people meant to know how anyone outside their town looks like? Lets assume they somehow have a tv. They see news reporters, actors, cricketers, but they all seem to look "like they do". Maybe poor people are an exception but what about the millions of Indians themselves who have never stepped outside their city. We only stereotype after we see what is known to us as "the common public" whom they see everyday etc. Even an NRI for example, or even a tourist. They will visit their hometown, maybe Goa, a few hill stations, vaishnodevi/shirdi/ajmer or whatever and thats why ther eare so many misconceptions and i'm afraid a lot of the time I can't blame people for not recgonising their own people because its a country of 1.2+ billion and yes, its not good to generalise and have a picture of what an "average indian" looks like, but you can't expect everyone to recgonise an Indian from far when they may never have seen a north east indian in their life. There are misconceptions and they should be cleared. As a matter of fact, I always only visit Bombay, haven't even been to Goa, Delhi, Rajasthan etc like parents but I did my own research when I was around 12 and researched north, south, east and even west but I can't expect an average Indian to do that.

Misconceptions are there. But they are there for a reason. Blame the media, not just the average Indian.
