Big Bang Theory has become one of the underrated and more funnier sitcoms. FWIW, I do think since that episode, Raj’s character has evolved and come into this own.

Its funny how American moron media manges to paint a billion multi-lingual people with diverse culture spread over 6 different continents with the same brush, even while knowing so little about that except that ..............all of them have a thick accent, all of them have arranged marriage, all of them eat curry, all of them are computer nerds. Although all of them would have to have an accent for sure..... it could be North Indian, South Indian, Trinidadian, Guyanese, Fijian, Malay-Singaporean, South African, East African, British or even "American accent". Only Americans think they are the ones that dont have an accent while the rest of the world does. An Indian geek with “an accent” about to have his marriage arranged for him, isnt that orignal?
