AmreekanDesi Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Might be just me but she annoys the **** out of me for some unexplained reason. What about you guys? TBF have never watched her show but seen her on late night talk shows. White girls who follow her show see her as some sort of idol :haha: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texy Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Her voice & tone is like cat scratching chalkboard during bowel movement. She's a bit heavy on the eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvvslaxman Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 She has some writing talent. Capable of doing certain roles. But yea.. she is trying to her project herself as some hot girl which she is obviously not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jalebi_bhai Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Ethnic/Diversity quota on TV. She seems chill as a person, but her characters are largely unfunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhunaeh Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Quite amazing that somebody who would have never found work in india other than as a unfunny caricature becomes so famous in america. Good on that country, and good for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonas10 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Not attractive at all. Never found her funny. One of those really ugly Indian girls in the US who hates everything about being Indian and will marry the first ugly gora that gives her the time of day.

Sachinism Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Not a fan, but I've only seen her in The Office where she played an annoying character. I hear she is respected in the entertainment industry, so must be doing something right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmreekanDesi Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 she just panders to americans and white people in particular and is milking her status in the US (East coast atleast) as the face of Indians in America! talentless, ugly hack!

coffee_rules Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Chokalingam - Why so much hate? Don't watch, if you don't like it. She is a good writer, may be not much of acting talent..Was adequate in The Office. Don't care so much to hate or like.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonas10 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I think she knows deep down she really isn't considered attractive in a traditional Indian way and that's given her a huge inferiority complex. No doubt she sucks up to goras by trying to act like the assimilated good ole American girl. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vilander Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Boring and unfunny...but i think she fits the white north american description of Indian girl so they find her oddly soothing. For Indians she looks more african origin for an Indian origin person than they can take. The problem is because of subtle racism in white north Americans and Indians. Many White Amerians think Indians look like this. But many Indians want to think they look like this. Veramindy Chokalimgam looks like this.. she probably traces back her lineage to these jolly indian citizens.. probably... you can see the problem right there..its perception/reality. i actually like the old ladies from somewhere in Tn they voted, i did not last election, they are better than me...

jonas10 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Good god what a pic. She's clearly not attractive. I agree she makes a living based on what white Americans think Indians look like. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desi Cartman Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I think she makes a living as a lot of people like what she does, nobody watches TV with equal opportunity in mind. And yes, most of us have the similar skin color as she does so whats the big deal ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk The operative point is she is popular in a field where often people become popular for being attractive, that could be the problem here. But i dont dislike her, just that she wont be considered attractive in any culture, even in her own.. See its got nothing to do with her skin color or face, look at this lady for instance, she looks pretty normal Tamil girl of certain socio-economic subdivision, but she is in a supposedly glamorous presentation, and i know guys in a personal level who might find this girl a 6 on 10. I think veramindy just wants to pander to her niche,as an outspoken and visually unattractive yet fully naturalised Indian-origin american person.

But actors and actresses like mindy (who conveniently and in her show, pointedly westernises her name to make it sound cool and not lame) play a role in keeping the stereotypes alive and kicking. when was the last time where an indian guy was just a normal guy on a show and his character didnt revolve around humor at the expense of the associated stereotypes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
