Desi Manifesto Blog: The Forum for South Asian American Men

We’ve run it by other minorities, and they agree. We’ve run it by our white friends, and they will come up with any reason to act like it doesn’t exist. I guess they don’t want the cognitive dissonance of knowing that there are determinations made based on race and that they have an advantage in some regards, even though they don’t think of themselves as racially anything.

Read the ugly truth and see for yourself.

Sonny: btw

my friend’s fiancé

agreed with our theory 100%

every single guy in there

was like “dude you’re full of shit, stop making excuses”

so i said

“ok fine, let’s get the girls’ opinions”

Personally, I’ve always felt (and gotten the vibe from East Asians and East Asian Americans) that Indians and Asians are indeed two separate groups. The concept of Asia is just what white people drew on a map as “East of Where White People Live”-land, and I don’t feel like abiding by their construct. Beyond our basic looks, our cultures, while vaguely similar, are still quite different, as are the religions and lifestyles.

* Adhir Kalyan, whom we blogged about in our review of the CW’s “Aliens in America,” bagged a role as an up-and-coming wunderkind doctor on FX’s “Nip/Tuck.” Amazingly, the writers of the show displayed their all-world creativity when they named the character “Raj.” On a happier note, that boy is going to get LAID, both on the program and in real life, because of his role on that show. It’s LA, you know. And I 100% support the sexual objectification of the Indian male by women as well as the resulting residual play from the trickle-down effect. [Thanks Angry Asian Man]

Somehow, a degree of Westernization my feeble mind never grasped was the concept of cheerleaders in India. Not even the idea that it probably wouldn’t work. This was so far from the realm of possibility that it never occurred to me, period.

Well, it’s happening, and the Washington Redskins appear quite proud of it. While there are plenty of Indians in DC, the ‘Skins would prefer to take their ‘world vision’ to the subcontinent. I guess they decided to cover both sets of Indians, one with their team name and the other on this goodwill trip that most likely will become a disaster, international incident, or both (just look at the faces of the men in the crowd, and thanks to the Washington Post for the pic).

Remember our article on gigolos in India, women, and sex?

A handful of other people may remember too, for the wrong reasons. Or at least, not the reasons we intended. As it turns out, the content of that post triggers many hits for people searching for “indian”, “aunties”, and “sex” in a very different context.

To find Desi Manifesto Blog, just google:

* aunty looking men(address and no.)

* aunties in sex desire

* indian aunties cheating

* i am a gigolo in new delhi. how can i find the customers? [Who among us hasn't asked this before?]

I mean, here we are, starving for brown women, and these cats back in the motherland are getting paid to lay them. At least someone’s paying the rent. And looking at these genetic jackhammers in the photo, the average (or even kind of below average) desi man would decry his exclusion from this “has sex with Indian women–more than once–while earning the rupees” club.

But, put your dandiya down, step back, and ponder. As funny as this looks, it could signal a change in India’s culture and future.

Among India’s litany of problems, lack of education is arguably the cornerstone. With education, solutions to most of the other issues could present themselves. That’s why it’s good to see a public service announcement like this. Give yourself a good seven minutes. They may be among the best-spent time of your life…

Thus, the only way to address this was through a running commentary [re this Telugu Condom Song]:

And multiple drinks and smokes later, Sonny and the other Indian professional found themselves alone and face-to-face. Sonny, not exactly inhibited, but not an aggressive playcaller to begin with, allowed her to make the first move. Which she eventually did with the axiom, “It’s true what they say, it takes Indian boys forever to make the first move.” Taking that as a subtle hint, he proceeded to make out with her…
