That show is so racist and stereotypical. I find it insulting to say the least. Really, that is the funniest way White America could portray south-asians? By going to the heart of American sterotypes? White America will eat this right up and South-Asians will continue to be "thank you come again" types. I hope that show is canceled sooner than it actually will be.
ahh, idk about that. it's a 2 way street, we laugh at black,mexican,asian jokes and depictions (dave chapelle, carlos mencia, margaret cho, SNL, mad tv.. list goes on).
Thankkkk youuu. It's gotta be a 2 way street. Don't dish it out if you can't take it and everyone should always keep in mind that sterotypes are just that... they're good for some entertainment values, but never judge a book by its cover because no one fits in a box.

Haven't caught any full episodes haha but I like Rizwan Manji. :)

There is a difference between nuanced social commentary in the stuff like Chapelle's show and SNL. It is not mean and stupid which most of the stuff on Outsourced is so far.
