well i do not completely agree with ya man
cause yeah.. you say they are stealing the indian culture..
but look at it more potively.. they are learning from our culture..
now isn't that a better perception.. and cultures varie from places..
even in india so i don't think it penalises the inidians xp

Yes but the basic concept is stealing. I'm not talking about technology is fine but a county's culture is not. Technology is more of a sort of all people deal.

Well Hello, Asians are the coolest. You have to admit without Asian people the world wouldn't be where it is now. I mean I actually like seeing a bit of my home's culture in cartoons. Like Avatar the last airbender, there's really alot of azn culture in that and it's technically not anime because it wasn't made in Japan, but I still like it though, but they've copied a lot of things from the hindu religion and stuff. Like stories of Krishna and there's also alot of martial arts. My point is as long as they give credit it's okay. Afterall Asians do have a lot of good things that could be taught to the Western world. Like a Family based home, morals, faith and etc. People in the West are more let's say lost and emotionally corrupted than people in the East, I mean think about it. You don't see as many Emo Teens in Asia as you do in America. Lol.

I agree! America is a combination of all cultures, so you can see many cultures in America.

"America's biggest export is it's culture."
While India catches the spotlight every now and then, America is what the world focuses on. Practically every country int he world has people wearing jeans, which is a purely American invention.
While you see rappers in the Us using Desi beats, you still see fans in India fawning over artists that are over here.
My cousin came over here last here and was shocked when I told her that I don't listen to Britney Spears and other pop artists.

Actually what is the american culture? wearing jeans and eating fast food?..i hope not stare ..

yeah of course the american film industry is universal cause they always try to have the best for each type of movie.. like the musicians, the directors even the actors r picked very carefully to fit their roles..and they r very open about other cultures..meaning their cast is not all american and that is one of the reasons why the american film industry is world wide!

As for the other film industries including the bollywood..itz more intimate..we know who r the best musicians..the best directors..and the best actors.. and we know if it is going to be a hit or a flop..just by knowing the cast..but yeah there r always exceptions emo .

And for ur last point..i have a lot of friends who r not indian ( they know nothin about india) , some of em r african, french ( quebecois), chinese...still they know about bollywood..itz like so shockin..like they know about celina jaitley..and aishwarya's face is all over the place cause she got a contract with loreal cosmetics... eek ..

mostly they r crazy about sharukh!!

The asians stole a lot of our culture too, and changed it to their liking. Japan is full of coffee loving smokers now. And everybody has a McDonalds XD

I just saw some new McDonalds commercial where the mom's like "My child always wants to go to McDonalds and get a happy meal with low fat milk and nutritious fruit. Now I feel good about taking him to McDonalds." Wtf? Yeah. She forgot the burger and extra salty fries.

English is a lot more wide around the world though...thanks to our....imperialism... But I mean, sending us more white rabbit and video games can't hurt....We need more cute asian girls where I live too XD

Sorry I rant. It's late and I've been up for two days.
