All information presented in this article are seen to be neutral to me. Even though the topic consists of 'stereotypes' there were loads of appropriate ways of interpreting information that consisted other races or ethnic groups views on South Asians. Since the article is primarily based on South Asians, there was only information about stereotype against them instead a bias.

== Why is there no racism article of South Asians (Indians) article and shouldn't this article be merged into such? ==

Sorry I am little disappointed and perturbed by the denoting the stereotypes of Indians aka South Asians which is basically it's colloquial eponym. But shouldn't that be a significant and important article in addressing separately or concordantly with stereotypes which would fall under racism? Just my thoughts. But it sadly seems out of a billion indians in the world that none feel the priority or necessity in addressing and rectifying the subject. And in my opinion will always give way and cause into the culturally engrained superiority of the Aryan/Anglo-Saxon civilization's preferred norms, values and also ironically prejudices against out-groups such as South Asians. In which they have substantially shaped the history of the country until the present with basically from my understanding of others exploiting the continent and its resources and leaving it in a state of divided territories and inflaming tensions between religions which were previously able to co-exist peacefully and not become enemies and forget about the ones who conquered and owned their country. Sorry this is just a bit of me grieving and venting, but I think if there isn't one, racism about South Asians should be made an article. As there is ample evidence but hard to locate scholarly resources on the subject. Thanks for your consideration and time for something I feel is important and deserves credence and importance to a large group of individuals it applies to.

Split

The content of this page was split off from Stereotypes of Asians as a separate subtopic. --Drenched 20:47, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Apu

This article needs to mention Apu Nahasapeemapetilon from the Simpsons, at least once. After all, the page about Western stereotypes of West and Central Asians mentions Borat several times. Hokie Tech (talk) 22:17, 1 January 2010 (UTC)Hokie Tech[reply]

More citation and expansion

I note that in comparison to the southeast asians article, this one is dreadfully small. Who's watchlisted this, and can we get a group together to crank out some content? ThuranX (talk) 13:26, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the section Japanese views of Indians isn't well supported. The citation (currently 23, (Japanese)"NY niche Geki column" (Mag Mag) October 2, 2006 Keiko Tsukada, Yukiko Nakahachi) is essentially a woman's blog about an Indian student she met while studying in New York. Also, the article never states anything about engineers or doctors. The first part basically asks, "what do you tink of when you think of India?" And follows with what about... people good at English and numbers, curry, outsourcing from the US etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.172.253.190 (talk) 04:43, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Quotations and essay

I'll try to make it into something vaguely neutral...moving cut material over to Talk:Stereotypes of South Asians/Dumping ground. Moreschi (talk) 13:34, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I Just Wanted to Share this story

Is there any evidence to suggest that Indian males are attracted to redheads? I'm an undergrad at a public university here in the US, and the only two guys that have asked me out this semester have been Indian. (There was an american that followed me around a dining court and a puerto rican that followed me around an aquarium but since they didn't ask me out I'm not counting them.) I'm wondering if they're just not as observant regarding the fact that I have a boyfriend or what, I just thought it was an odd coincidence that odd to be shared and I'm glad my boyfriend's roommate (who is indian as well) already has a girlfriend. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.211.235.70 (talk) 02:32, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to Stereotypes of Indians

This is article is almost entirely about stereotypes of Indians. It would be reasonable to rename the article to Stereotypes of Indians for clarity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FonsScientiae (talk • contribs) 02:49, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

more to the point, the article is broken and uncencyclopedic. It should be a coherent presentation of literature about such stereotypes, but instead it seems people just use it as a dumping ground for what they perceive as examples. I suggest WP:TNT it and start over based on actual scholarly literature on ethnic stereotyping. Also, as you say, "South Asian" is far too wide a term. Naturally, "stereotypes" do not make fine distinctions between ethnic groups, but there are distinct sets of stereotypes on, at least, Muslim Pakistanis, Hindus and Sikhs. Needless to say, these groups also mutually hold stereotypes of one another. Indian politics is basically a big pile of such stereotypes, Muslim vs. Hindu, Indo-Aryan vs. Dravidian, etc., but that's not really the topic here. --dab (𒁳) 07:15, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Stereotypes of South Asians

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Stereotypes of South Asians's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Fisher":

  • From Miscegenation: Fisher, Michael Herbert (2006). Counterflows to Colonialism. Orient Blackswan. ISBN 81-7824-154-4.
  • From British Pakistanis: Fisher, Michael Herbert (2006). Counterflows to Colonialism: Indian Traveller and Settler in Britain 1600–1857. Orient Blackswan. pp. 111–9, 129–30, 140, 154–6, 160–8, 172. ISBN 81-7824-154-4.{{cite book}}: CS1 maint: postscript (link)
  • From Barack Obama: Fisher, Daniel (August 11, 2008). "November Election A Lawyer's Delight". Forbes. Retrieved January 11, 2009.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 16:54, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Evaluation of this article

The article is relevant to the topic because it gave background information, main ideas, and major historic events and demographics lead up to the topic. There is an equal distribution between where these stereotypes of South Asians happen and overall accurate emphasis on how the topic circulates among population and reasons to why it happens. There was a part of the article where I was distracted and it was the 'Sexual Jealousy' heading. There is a source tied with the heading, but the editor should have been more clear and concise on how that heading had to do with the topic instead of quoting the source.

All information presented in this article are seen to be neutral to me. Even though the topic consists of 'stereotypes' there were loads of appropriate ways of interpreting information that consisted other races or ethnic groups views on South Asians. Since the article is primarily based on South Asians, there was only information about stereotype against them instead a bias. Ayasin 4 (talk) 15:13, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
