You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent

Well....ll.

He might be exaggerating --we all know that, but wasn't he speaking to an Indian?

I do find the comment a bit...elitist...presumptuous...potentially of questionable genesis. Certainly, it's gonna take heat on the internet.

I suppose if he'd said, "You can't walk cross a street in Manhattan without some SUV from Brooklyn blowing your eardrum out with gangsta rap" there would have been a firestorm of protest...I suppose it does introduce the possibility of racial stereotyping, but it is also a fact.

How do you see it?
