Having said that, the Jewish mother is just as big a stereotype - but at least she IS funny.

Big Bang BS
The Big Bang Theory is one of my favourite shows, but the racist 'jokes' are getting a little tired. Poor Koothrappali has to utter fatuous lines like 'My parents are very wealthy, we have lots of servants....we don't believe our poor should have dreams' etc. No one even laughs at these bits, admittedly they are not funny, but if I have to start cringing BEFORE the Indian jokes finish, the writers are doing something off. As I recall, Raj has mentioned Untouchables, India's millions, poverty and Bollywood, too, ad nauseam. We must be really easy targets.
