fucking hilarious- thumbs up![edit]
“”Chopra sells something called ayurvedic medicine, which is apparently traditional Indian medicine filtered through the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and mixed with bad physics in order to treat dangerously low levels of money in Chopra's wallet.

Edit summaries are not the talk page.[edit]
Could you two having an edit war out there in mainspace make it more clear what your dispute is, please? ikanreed You probably didn't deserve that 18:39, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
- I'm not disputing anything. I'm being obedient to the dictates. And then enforcing them.
- Why, yes, I am grudgily irritated. Why do you ask? ;) --Castaigne (talk) 18:42, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
- Castaigne, the joke was bad; I removed it. The rest of the humor was fine and underscored our points. FU22YC47P07470 (talk/stalk) 18:45, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
- You always think the jokes are bad. And then you create a bunch of one sentence paragraphs. --Castaigne (talk) 18:49, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
- There's like 50 other jokes in the article that are funny. ><_><
- Yeah, I do. FU22YC47P07470 (talk/stalk) 18:54, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
- A paragraph should be, grammatically speaking, a minimum of three sentences.
- And I have determined, in light of your view of funny, that everything else is unfunny. Thus, removed. --Castaigne (talk) 18:57, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
- omfg NOBODY WANTS HUMORLESS RATIONALWIKI. stop passive-aggressively removing the funny shit just cuz I pissed you off ʇυzzγɔɒтqoтɒтo (talk/stalk) 18:59, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

This article is racist[edit]
How dare you insult this Indian man so harshly. It is a fact he is not white. In your article on "The Simpsons", you say, "there is a difference between mocking the mainstream (where there are many other representations, powerful people can offer alternative views, and most of the population have considerable knowledge already), and mocking minorities." You yourself said Indians are not powerful and people do not have considerate knowledge of them.
Deepak Chopra worked hard giving people fake medicine and doesn't work a stereotypical job like Apu. He didn't get into an arranged marriage like Apu. He promotes pseudoscience. Apu doesn't do that! He is smarter than most of the other characters! Deepak has shown that Indians can make fortunes off of being stupid and deceitful. He has shown that Indians can be terrible role models! Think of all that representation for Indian-Americans he's created! He has not encouraged racist abuse of Indian-Americans because he proves that Indian-Americans can be total idiots!
I mean, he became famous in 1993, right when "The Simpsons" was at the height of his popularity! Do you realize how amazing it is that a con man can become the first famous Indian-American when the biggest representation is a man on TV who takes care of eight children, loves them, is faithful to this wife and tells people not to force their lifestyles on others (see "Lisa The Vegetarian"). It's fantastic a fraudster became the first representation of Indian-Americans before any entertainer! You guys are totally not white!
You are worse than Deepak Chopra! Criticizing a minority who became the first mainstream Indian in this country! He's shown that a real life Indian man can rise from the ashes of a poor fallen civilization and become a celebrity who lied and cheated his way to fame! Are you saying we should get rid of him? Give him non-speaking roles? What racists you monsters are! Minorities need all the representation they can get, especially the first of their kind, a clown who pries off of white people! White people deserve to be deceived by minorities, you horrible racists! We got rid of a romantic, kind, intelligent fictional character to make way for goofy real life idiots! What an accomplishment! — Unsigned, by: Ericho / talk / contribs
