India

The other category is made of smaller stereotypes.

Stereotypes of India say all they eat is curry, but actually curry is just a spice they put on their food.  Curry is the name given to a mixture of mild or hot spices.  Curry in India is a sign of wealth, because in ancient religions, poorer classes were not allowed to use it.  In fact, an English chef was the first person to write down a recipe for curry.

When people refer to India, they refer to them as “dot heads”, which is a huge stereotype because the dot is part of their religion.  The dot on the forehead is called a Bindi, which represents the third eye in the Hindu religion.  In the Hindu religion the third eye is a gateway to a person’s central nervous system, where the people can see the truths of the world.
