I don’t know about you, but I find this Metro PCS television commercial pretty offensive. The ad — which debuted sometime around the Superbowl — plays to the stereotypes of Indians being techno-geeks in a mocking manner. I was almost wondering if this was some bad Saturday Night Live parody. Sure, there are a lot of Indians and Indian Americans working in tech, but the manner that they are portrayed in this commercial is ridiculous. CNet seems to agree.
