@wheatpond Yeah, I could easily do an India-Europe mapping. India-US wouldn't work. The U.S. Is not diverse enough to sustain the mapping. -

@wheatpond@vgr Punjabis more like Italians - noisy love of food, family, fierce passion, not very thoughtful -
@r_ganesh@wheatpond Nope. I mapped to Irish. Italians too artistic to be Ounjabis. - Show replies
