punjabi_khota Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 At the risk of generalisation and stereotyping' date=' this is a typically South Asian trait. It is incredible how much of our ego and self esteem is informed by "education"[/quote'] Indian, not south asian. Pakistanis are not really the most educated lot around :dontknow:
EnterTheVoid Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 I have seen people develop a false sense of superiority because they attended higher ranked universities or work in big companies. Completely obnoxious tools of the highest order, I don't know how anybody puts up with them.
punjabi_khota Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Dude, she is hot. That renders her attitude completely irrelevant in any discussion whatsoever.
ravishingravi Posted June 19, 2011 Author Posted June 19, 2011 Indian' date=' not south asian. Pakistanis are not really the most educated lot around :dontknow:[/quote'] Yeah
ravishingravi Posted June 19, 2011 Author Posted June 19, 2011 Dude' date=' she is hot. That renders her attitude completely irrelevant in any discussion whatsoever.[/quote'] Have to agree here
lonestarranger Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 hmmm.. Hermon Kaur Raju.. Pwnjobi.. No wonder, then. :nervous: Proof:
akshayxyz Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Even Kasab got an attorney to defend his case! [hottie come over here...] Give her some benefit of doubt. May be the cop said something before the recorded evidence, or she just simply felt humiliated/insecure/intimidated when questioned in public - that too by some 'uneducated' cop. 'Being educated' is the tool people most commonly use to quickly establish their credibility - esp without any authentic reference to show off right then and there - to support their argument. [Ad Hominem]. I think most of the 'educated' people who are ridiculing her would react no differently when cornered, fairly or unfairly, by pan-chewing & danda-wielding mumbai/delhi ka thulla. Or would bring up stuff like - I am son/daughter/nephew/niece of some so and such.
akshayxyz Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Also, by publicly ridiculing her incessantly, internet world is not being any less obnoxious than she was for that moment. If you think you are more virtuous than someone, you do not prove it by ridiculing other's lack of it.
DomainK Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Also, by publicly ridiculing her incessantly, internet world is not being any less obnoxious than she was for that moment. If you think you are more virtuous than someone, you do not prove it by ridiculing other's lack of it. The power of internet. People on the net are relentless and unforgiving. This one singular incidence does not define the kind of person she is. But this video will stay on the net forever. People will laugh at her and curse her forever.
flamy Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 what if she was a madrasi... do you think she would've said..."saary miss, my fault wonly" Punjabis usually don't take crap, God knows how it all started...if Punjabis were darpok type...we wouldn't have survived or progressed in the western world :finger: :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: :bhangra:
flamy Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Reportedly after this incident an announcement was made on the train's speaker asking passengers to refrain from using profanity, "especially those people who went to Harvard or Yale or are from Westport." :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:
ravishingravi Posted June 19, 2011 Author Posted June 19, 2011 The best comment so far under that YOUTUBE clipping "Educated means Educated. It means you have practiced rote memorization and factual regurgitation and in some cases, 101 level problem solving. Educated does not mean Smart, Tactful, Well Mannered, Classy or Dignified."

Texy Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Why are WE always quick to judge our own? May be she meant to say something else and said something else at the heat of the moment. May b she has to deal with low class, not dignified people on daily basis, or perhaps she was taunted as a 7eleven worker(standard insult towards any Indian in America) in the past and she wanted to put forth the point that she will not take things lying down What about that big black woman with calcium hydroxide treated/dyed hair with an attitude as if God has done us favors by landing her giant self existence on this earth

As I said earlier, I would like to see how these 'educated people' indulging in ridiculing her would react, when cornered by some cop, in public, and that too on their bad day.
Rajiv Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Can we act like responsible media who doesn't have to discuss every little thing on the internet, a small clip sensationalizes so many things from culture to her heritage and background. I can pick 10 different things from my camera everyday and make it sound stupid, we really don't know the whole story behind this Just a thought
CSK Fan Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Finally, some sensible comment. As I said earlier, I would like to see how these 'educated people' indulging in ridiculing her would react, when cornered by some cop, in public, and that too on their bad day. Because sometimes its not a question of us against them, but just right or wrong. There are countless times almost all of us have to have endured such classless, obnoxious people(of whatever country or origin) who believe they own the world because they have had a better education or more money. The employees of the train were just trying to do their duty and do what would be right for the general public Also remember, the day I start defending someone just because they belong to my country though they are obviously in the wrong, thats the day I also lose the right to criticise anyone doing any wrong whatsoever or being defended by others of their own country. There have been many instances when we have blamed Pakistanis for defending terrorists or wrong doers just because they are muslims or Pakistanis. How are we any better if we look at nationality instead of the actual deed to define whats right or wrong?
