@Actually... Chris and Angad do very good and important work in Punjab — something related to development and education and trying to make it a better place.
Not sure how people think the video is “racist” or “too late.” They released it to the Columbia audience because they go to Columbia, but (according to Chris) the real purpose was to inspire Punjabi youth (and to have some fun during their long, hot summer doing difficult work in the towns of Punjab).
And my favorite part? Both Punjabis in India and Punjabi-Americans are eating it up. Haters gonna hate, but Punjabis gonna love.
@tbh I don’t think it’s racist at all, I was just trolling to see if I could get people to agree with me but no one took the bait. After a while I felt bad about accusing the people who made this of being racist and the idea that they might think I was being serious. The video is actually pretty funny. Sorry!
