so, are samir patel and bobby jain the biggest chokers

since dan and dave?

i'm sure abc is upset those two aren't in the final round for the prime time.

effing gujus...

desi kids can be southie or guju or pnujabi or a whole bunch of other types. i would say southies and bengalis are the most intellectual as a whole. i wouldn't go so far as to say the "brains." it's amazing some of the business decisions i've seen some of these people make (of course, that's the guju in me speaking.)

i think a lot of that correlates to how the cultures treated the english language after the british left. while south indians and bengalis kept teaching english in schools, there was a backlash in gujurat. of course, the stereotypes of gujus and maharastrans being more businesslike and southies and bengalis being more intellectual goes back before british rule.

of course, then you have the jains, whom joel kotkin called the jews of india. supposedly got the brains and the dimes. my family only got the former.
