- randallsquared 17y agoI quoted the name to make clear that it was a joke, as I assumed that they were Indian. But I fail at "clear", and I'll take my lumps. :)
- Zev 17y agoTo be fair, Avi is a Jewish name, and I haven't met many Indian Jews... Assumptions, even when assuming something about someones assumption are bad :P
- randallsquared 17y agoI've known more than one person named Avinash, and they were both Indian, which is why I assumed that "Avinash V" was an Indian name, and why I thought that was obviously funny.
- madair 17y agoThere are plenty of Indian Jews. You guys need to, like, you know, get out, and stuff.
- Zev 17y agoI never said there weren't Indian Jews. Just that I haven't met many of them. There's is a difference in the two statements. And its not so much, "you know, getting out, and stuff", but rather just the demographics and location of the town where I go to college (ie: where I spend most of the year). Its more rural then suburb, so not a lot of people move to the area.
- madair 17y agoThen maybe avoid commenting if you, as you admit, don't know what you're talking about.
- plinkplonk 17y ago"Avi is a Jewish name, and I haven't met many Indian Jews." there is a small Indian jew community. Over the years, most of them have emigrated to Israel but I think there are a few left. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_India http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_India
