I reckon that's why a large number of North Indian men are such big douchebags, thinking they're god's gift to womankind but I could be missing something.

Careful, before WD40 comes in here and calls squirrel a liar because the Southern Indians are not Dravidians. (So HE says).

We are talking about some FB application. There is no Caucasian there:
a) Asian
b) Black
c) Chinese
d) Latino
e) White
what would an average FB user chose?
Also by the choice of the "races" it looks this appl was targeting US users. So what an average US FB user think about Indians that may fit this list?

We are talking about some FB application. If an average FB user would be give a choice as of where to put the Indians to, and this choice was limited as in my initial post to:
a) Asian
b) Black
c) Chinese
d) Latino
e) White
what would this average FB chose?

Talking about Indians. I just remembered a funny episode a few years back. Our Indian GM and some of the other GM's were together for a strategy seminar. Over lunch I sit with the Australian GM and the Indian GM. We talk for 10-15 mins and the Aussie guy goes "I just have to say I love that accent of yours mate"... The Indian guy looks at him and replies: "What accent? We are 1 billion people speaking like this - you are 18 million people in Australia. Now, who has the funny accent"..... Priceless....

WTF? Just from your story alone, the Aussie bloke did not say the accent was funny.
Another thing, since when was it a contest of who has more people speaking the same way. Everyone has an accent.
The Indian guy sounded like he'd get offended by the slightest things.

Yeah, he did take it as an offence and got a little hostile.... I do actually think the Aussie said: "I love that funny accent of yours", come to think of it. There was an awful lot of shaking his head from side to side going on at the same time

And somebody was complaining elsewhere about people not taking irony. There must be a balance in the universe.

ah .. the Indian logic is as simple as somebody insisting the UK Minister speak in Hindi .. since India is not a Colony of GB anymore .. and .. while the Indians were fed English under the British rule, it is time the British learn Hindi now ..
Be scared, be very very scared .. (yes, with a billion people at their disposal, many things could be demanded ..)

They should be consistent internally first, I reckon.
