of course. but the problem is that there’s a double-standard about this. if a place is 85% non-hispanic white, no one would accept that it “ain’t just phenotype.”

Demographics alone do not account for how “white” a place is. I know plenty of brown people who are very white. It ain’t just phenotype, my friend.

@Manjiri, we don’t usually sponsor meetups in a single location on any regular basis– mostly because many of us live outside of the cities where we meet and find it hard to find enough time between work and partners/kids, but you guys are welcome to get together on your own. @Jay, sigh. This will be the first time Kunjan and I have met in person, if you makes you feel any better.

And yes, if you haven’t already figured it out, my Hindi is atrocious. I never heard it at all really until my mid to late 20s, and well, that wasn’t that long ago. Ahem. Most of us who write posts often do them under the pressure of time, but if Lindsay is still scratching her head, we writers do wonder who all you readers and posters are (and often wish we could meet you in person) — hence the video. As clumsily and lamely put together as it is, with four hours of sleep under my cummerbund, I found it amusing at the time– and even more incredible that this guy apparently put together 20 odd other lessons before this one– and nobody advised him not to. Apologies if it irked you. We would send a private plane from the bunker’s hangar to usher you to the meetup, if certain other members of the Mutiny weren’t monopolizing it. (Abhi’s personal spa trips are getting out of hand.) Hope to see the rest of you at our next meetup!

In standard hindi(not colloquial) “क्या अाप अजय हो?” is not used, it should be “क्या अाप अजय हैं?” it is not “जि” but “जी” There are other mistakes as well…
