Watch BBT. The entire characterisation of the Indian Chap is about prejudice(and being blind to it). Including his enjoyment of beef: which is base-level offensive to Hindus. Point is, it's spectacularly hard to be observant Hindu and progress. Even more so if Ethnically Hindu.

Muslim characters by Hollywood get the more burqa or scarf-wearing and observational + 'modern' treatment. As Mainstream as NYT thinks nothing of publishing cartoons that are deeply racist and offensive to Indians / Indian origin. In 2018.

I don’t know what bbt is but I watched the entire mindy kaling show on Netflix. Muslims face much more serious discrimination in the USA than Hindus. I will say that.

No. I didn't write what you read. I told you that this is an instance where without being the particular in-group/out-group it's hard to understand.
