First look at the Indian Raj. He would be nervous and speechless to beautiful girls. In the episode where Sheldon's sister came, he also volunteered for the new drug of the School of Pharmacy (for social anxiety disorder) specifically for this problem.
Indian jokes and screenwriters’ impressions include:
curry-flavored English is often imitated by Wolowitz, a Jew with outstanding linguistic talent (the episode of forced blind dates by parents and others);
India’s long-term feudal society and arranged marriages (by dad) In the episode where Mom forced a blind date, Sheldon introduced Indian culture to Raj himself, and in the following episode of North Korean geniuses, the three of them racked their brains to get North Korean geniuses to date girls. Raj said that in India, only 12 goats for girls and women would be added. laptop and it’s done);
India’s huge population (in the episode of Penny’s halo, they lacked Wolowitz before, saying that our only way is to split Raj into two halves and team up. Raj said, “You can’t do it because of this foreigner. A country with a population of more than one billion can split him in half");
the spread of Western culture to India is slow (in the episode of blind date forced by parents, parents are eager to hang up because they want to watch the premiere of a US drama, In the U.S., it is already a show that was broadcast more than ten years ago).
The Indians are proud of their identity as an ancient civilization (the episode where Raj and Sheldon’s sister hit up, he said, "Kamasutra" was written by Indians, pajamas was invented by Indians...)
Let’s look at the Chinese laughter in the big bang. And its refracted screenwriter impression.
Sheldon's Chinese learning is the most significant episode. The reason he learned Chinese was because he felt that Chinese restaurants did not use tangerine peels to make tangerine peel chickens, and he wanted to entangle and complain with them. Sheldon said to the Chinese "Long live society" (long live socialism) during dinner.
Wolowitz was absent from the episode of the four-man group and Christy's romantic. Sheldon pointed to the shopkeeper of the Chinese restaurant and complained that if Wolowitz was born in this person’s country, he would have been hanged for harming the collective interests (specifically, is it “hanging” "I don't remember dead).
It was the same episode. Regarding Dumpling, Sheldon insisted that it must not be divided among three people, because the dumpling with two openings is a reduced version of the sandwich.
The decoration of the Chinese restaurant is very interesting. For example, there are paper-cuts with huge Double Happiness stickers, and the calligraphy of "Forbearance" is hung. I don't know if the screenwriter deliberately wants to create a funny atmosphere, or whether he really thinks this is the most important Chinese element.
Finally, let's look at North Korea.
The arrival of a talented North Korean boy at Sheldon's university threatened his academic status and the status of Smartest, but was seduced by beauty (Sheldon said he deserved it because he was not determined) and gave up his bright future.
This genius boy spent a year digging a tunnel and escaped from North Korea.
Sheldon's boss told the genius boy that if he wants to open the back door and use physics equipment to dig your grandpa out of Pyongyang, they are happy to provide it.
In summary, American screenwriters still have certain stereotypes in their ridicule about China, India, and North Korea. Collective interests, ideology, the proud identity of an ancient civilization, and the condescending posture of the United States as a helper can be felt.
