The level of offence people take towards stereotyping is
rather high. Let me get to it. Of late the level of tweets
and posts and the " Oh god... You are stereotyping me. My ass hurts" attitude is getting rather, pathetic. And to top it all, the hypocrisy of these posts is ....... Funny!
My dear stupid people, as politically incorrect stereotyping is, it exists for a reason. The majority of a stereotyped demographic do fall under the same. Of Course, it would be asinine to deny the fact that everyone subscribes to the typical. Being Human, there are always exceptions to the lot.
Case Study : Viswaroopam. Truthfully, all that hullabaloo over nothing. The movie was about Al-qeada and terrorism, and was out of Afghanistan. Do tell why a faction out of Tamil Nadu are getting
all self righteous over this shit. Thank you ****heads for bringing a man of his stature down. Long Live Freedom of speech.
Ah now, the latest... the north indian movies are stereotyping tamils as " Pattai wearing" , idli eating lot, so its justifiable to be outraged. From what i know, over the years, in tamil cinemas, malayalis were " Tea Kadai Nairs" and well endowed " chechi's" in nothing but a blouse and lungi, and the paan eating Pawn shop owner " Seths" depicted the Marwari populace. I don't remember anyone being so offended over the subtle racism and stereotyping of these people.
The fallacy of the people who post on social media decrying this, while quietly enjoying their own form of racism... Is well, hypocritical. And to top it, reading such posts from people I have known to be quite openly racist make me laugh.
We Tamilians do wear a pattai and do speak in an accented English. We do love our Idli - Sambhar combination. Our Tam-Brahms do drink filter coffee and attend Sabhas. Now if anyone choose to make a parody of it, well... Live with it. Its all meant in fun. Start to mature socially.
P.s : This post is about the current denouncement of the SRK - Deepika movie " Chennai Express" by the Tamil populace.
