I had a ex-colleague. When he joined the company and introduced himself.
He said.
I'm xxx (name). I'm from Brahmins.
Was he expect us (non-Indian) to know what is Brahmins?
Or he want us to treat him differently?
Note: he has stay in Singapore for some years and holding Singapore PR.
If I were you, I would reply "I'm pariah, I've met Chuck Norris, and I survive."

Brahmins, what? are they cylons? Do they live on Battlestar galactica or are they from the bluth family.
Many of my American friends will know what I am saying.
If you don't know what I am saying, please forgive me (I have to still learn more about Singapore to make similar local comments)
