Being Asian doesn't make her an entirely different character, being white isn't Velma's defining aspect

IF ITS ABOUT AN INDIAN WOMAN
IN A WORLD WHERE SCOOBY
AND THE OTHERS DONT EXIST
IT IS A DIFFERENT CHARACTER.

THEY LITERALLY COULD
HAVE JUST MADE A MINDY
ANIMATED SERIES.

Velma is supposed to be a pawg, not a fat ugly indian chick.

How you feel about a black James Bond, breh?

Nobody was trying to fukk Velma, just like nobody was trying to fukk Snow White. She was the nerdy smart girl, and Daphne was the cute one.

Velma was the one you smash, but don’t tell anyone, and when you see her in public, say what’s up, and keep it moving.

YOU POSTING THIS FAT
UGLY WHITE HOE AS IF THATS A POSITIVE.

VELMA WAS A FINE
BLACK WOMAN?

Hope its rated r like the Harley Quinn show

Mindy needs to stop making shows and movies where "ethnic" women (indian/asian) lust after white men. Every single thing she makes is about that , expect this to be no different



First episode Velma patel will be looking for her glasses before a Zac Efron type hands them to her

It got so blatant her own people was calling that out.

But this chick is so desperate for white men she had a mixed baby but refuses to say who the father is aka she probably went to a sperm bank.

IMO, Velma always did look kinda mixed in some instances/versions. Like she was Half White/ Half Asian or lightskin Indian something like that

so this kinda can make sense

Now Daphne? yeah she is someone who is straight up WhiteThere is no denying that

Only geographically. No Indian is going to refer to themselves as "Asian".

No Indian, really? It's literally what all Indians in the UK call themselves.

Terminology. In Britain, the word "Asian" most frequently refers to people of South Asian ancestry (Pakistanis, Indians, Bangladeshis and Sri Lankans). This usage contrasts to that in the United States, where it is used primarily to refer to people of East Asian origin.


But that's kinda irrelevant in this case cause I'm pretty sure Kaling is referring to East Asian, not South Asian. She's playing her as a Chinese/Korean/Japanese character, not as an Indian one.

It's weird to me that people wanna remix white people to be diverse when its just like... you could create a newer more authentic character

Same reason that 75% of Hollywood is sequels and remixing. You have a better chance to make money using a proven product with name recognition than by making an entirely new product. White characters own the precedent to damn near all of Shakespeare and 95% of classic literature, sci fi, and comic books not to mention most of Hollywood history.....if you never allow non-white folk to mix those characters than White people are gonna stay dominating all the acting roles cause studios are gonna keep funding proven commodities.

I'm physically in Asia right now and a country with loads of Indians, and I've never heard of them or anyone else refer to them as Asian. On the other hand, I can't speak for what 2nd and 3rd generation Indians refer to themselves as. Children of immigrants have some strange ass ideas in comparison to the people who actually live in their home country.

Why would Indians living in some other Asian country refer to themselves as Asian? They're gonna use a term that distinguishes themselves from the people they're around. But just about everywhere else - Africa, Middle East, Australia, Europe - Indians are called "Asian". Even in the USA, 94% of Indians consider themselves Asian.

When I've been to India most people there don't call themselves "Asian", they call themselves Indian out of national pride....but people in Thailand and the Philippines call themselves "Thai" and "Filipino", they don't use "Asian" much either unless they leave their country.

Wouldn't be the first time a Kaling’s tried to be another ethnicity...her bro shaved his head n pretended to be black to get a scholarship back in the day

Like when cacs were mad Zendaya was Mary Jane. Regardless a Hollywood interpretation doesn’t have to follow source material.
