      1. I'm a Sikh but I'm not sure how I feel about the genre of Sikh jokes:http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-34707218 …

      2. For those who don't know, Sikh jokes are similar to what in USA used to be called Polish jokes & in Canada "Newfie" jokes.

      3. The premise of Sikh jokes is that Sikhs are good-natured but kind of dumb. Country bumpkins. I guess that's me.

          @HeerJeet That's a bit odd given the relative prosperity of Punjab. It's among the richest Indian states

          @theturner Oh, I think popularity comes exactly from Hindu anxiety about a successful minority group. A way to displace anxiety.

          5. Anyways, I gut reaction is these jokes are mostly dumb but harmless. A way of "placing" a group that is very visibly other in Hindu India

          @HeerJeet i always thought Sikhs were known as the warrior class. And in NYC, the best cabbies.

          Replying to @HeerJeet

          @HeerJeet I've never heard of Sikh jokes. It's kinda jarring because every Sikh I've ever worked with has been almost freakishly competent.

          @HeerJeet also the fact that every Sikh I've ever met being freakishly competent is also jarring to me.

          @HeerJeet I thought the image of Newfoundlanders was more ornery than that. Has Danny Williams changed things?
