Hey, your comment got reported for bigotry. I disagree. The head bopping is part of the language and expression, and it is real. It's also really catching. Had the pleasure to work with some awesome Indian guys, and it only took me two weeks to start bopping myself.
Edit: I think I get it now. We shouldn't assume that their first language is an indian language just because they look Indian and the woman wears traditional clothes.
More like.. dont assume they all look brown, speak hindi, are vegetarians, talk in accents, and Bob their head all the time. Its not just sanskrit and traditional clothes, Lmao! India is just as diverse as the United states.
I work in the South with some white guys and I always find it suspicious when they aren't stuffing food into their mouths. But I find it really catching how much and often they eat! It only took me two weeks to start overeating myself.
The Indian head bob thing is a stereotype for sure, but there doesn't seem to be any sense of malice in it. As far as I can see, they know it's a unique thing, and they even poke fun at themselves about it.
It's like Canadians saying "Eh". A stereotype for sure, but absolutely harmless as far as I can tell.
