Russel Peter and the Mandarin experiment

A couple of weeks back I happen to see this stand up canadian of Indian origins do a great stand up comedy about racialism and races. So he thinks a chinese mans name sounds just like a chinese soup, I felt a bit disgusted there and still I laughed off until today.

There I was taking Lab practicals for a bunch of freshmens and they happen to group up as 3 oriental students and this one really unlucky american bloke [ ;) ] named Jug. The poor guy had no idea what the hell was going on in the lab. So he decided to take the lead and start talking to all these guys until he realised they really cant even speak english. The south asian community has a product we as indians will never need. They extensively use a language converter that converts what they want to say into Bookish and most likely ancient English. Now Indians on the other hand know of the Dons dialogue when they get cornerred by any species::::"I can talk english, I can walk English, eenglis is a bery phunny language....."

So back to the lab and these kids are working on the experiment, only the oreintals really dont have a clue what they are doing as its all in English. Jug who on the other hand is a typical american freshman with the "Dude I think this thing can slam off into space like uhh kapowww.. n whack....oops" type of an attitude tries to think his experiment is working out real fine till we tell him he's disastrous. Thats when he sees the birds dancing around his eyes.

So while the orientals wrap up the experiment about constant accelaration with words like slop n placid, Jug sits and tries to figure out the experiment.

At the end its just me him n the other TA.. n I tell him .. well part of it is to get you guys working as a team ... n Jugs reply to it is .. well we were a team .. the three of them n I , the only one who didnt know mandarin. And did you see this other dude who probably chatted with his friends on that computer thing of his ???(*sic converter).

If you are South Asian or Middle Eastern origin person, and haven't seen Paris yet, be prepared to be treated like the Sikhs and people...
