So I met this Indian boy, Indian as in from India. I thought it was cool. He is American but his parents are Indian. He told me that he was Hindu and he can speak in Hindi and I thought it was so cool. I know the basics of the religion so I thought I could learn more. He didn't know Hinduism for shit. He couldn't tell me anything about the main Gods and I was like WTF you can't call yourself a Hindu if you don't even know that much. He doesn't follow the philosophy either.
Then there was this Chinese boy. He told me he can speak in Cantonese, Mandarin, and his villages language. Once again I thought it was cool so I started to speak to him in Mandarin, he did not understand. At first I thought I said it wrong but I started to say very basic things like "My name is" but he did not understand. LIAR LIAR LIARSSSS
Just a rant. Although I am not that mad.

lol. so do you go around 'testing' every 'ethnic' person you meet? How much do you know about white people stuff?
my point was not to test him. I wanted to learn more and I learned that he lied to me. He said he was well educated so when I asked him some questions he could not answer them. I thought it was weird so I asked very basic ones and he didn't even know that. It is like asking a Christian who is Jesus and they don't know. That is how ridiculous it is

Culture is a lot more complex than knowing a language and a religion.

theres a million and 1 gods in hinduism. i can see where it could be difficult
He doesn't know the main ones. Vishnu, Shiva, etc. THe ones that are most prayed too, the very basics!!! He didn't even know anything about the mantras, or even Karma. Who DOESN'T know about karma? Honestly.
