Also called "Indian" by some non-Indians, as in: "sorry, I don't speak Indian" :) A bit like saying "chai tea", mentioned in the recent thread about the history of tea. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20015505 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20009037

Yeah totally, from the moment when they realize I am from India, they say they watch bollywood in Netflix to which I say "I do not speak much Hindi and I seldom watch bollywood movies"

They must be thinking i'm pulling their leg.
