Very stereotypical. It's the very few members of our current society who still don't know how to act mature.

That's why in Canada, Sikh families  have two kitchens.  One is the show kitchen and another kitchen for tharka. 

In the US,Sikh families use their garages.

Don't know what percent of Subcontinentals are renters in the U.K. (or anywhere for that matter), but denying such s huge percentage of people for business isn't a smart business strategy; (unless you got some other assets backing your business). Something to note is fresh-of-the-boat Subcontinentals do act like this but much worse to a standard Diaspora-born Subcontinentals wouldn't even expect of behaving. (I'm using "Subcontinentals" because there's no one India or Pakistan or Bangladesh; they are all diverse regions that practically can not be compared to each other or even their own individual regions).

I have to laugh at this. 

 

What's next? the return of: P@ki, bud-bud ding ding jokes. lol Ohhh deary deary me! A thousand apologies!

Act like what? Prepare tarka on the carpet? Rub the tarka into the carpet on purpose to make sure it smells?

No decent urban Punjabi family (living in Punjab) has a kitchen without either a window-mounted exhaust fan or a chimney/hood from various Indian or international companies like Elica or Faber. Rural-style kitchens are all totally open, so there's no smell accumulation. 

So, what are you talking about?

When they come to the west everything changes; a huge percentage of Keshdharis from Punjab cut their Kesh as soon as they land in their respected New homes for complaints about jobs. (This doesn't happen among Non-Jaats though such as Khatris and Ramgharias).

I know right ? How did this actually became a story  one landlord says something stupid , he's entitled to select who he/she wants to rent to especially if it's a furnished gaff  just like I would never rent to smokers and unclean people.

I kind of agree with the sentiment, but if he expressed it in a disparaging way he's an 1di0t. I know a couple of people who rent out properties, and they're dead set against people with cats and dogs due to the smell and the hair. There's even one guy who, lmao, tells the estate agent not to rent to Pakistani families, because apparently they turn the place it a 5hithole after a few weeks. If you've spent cash repairing and furnishing a home for it to be trashed in weeks, then it's obviously going to hurt.

But with the curry smell, even i cant stand it. Love the food; i eat nothing but daala and sabjiya, but i ensure the smell does not waft through my home, get into my clothes, etc. That stuff is extracted out, lol! I just think because this is coming from a wealthy gora, people are getting upset. All of us Punjabis born and bred in the West think the exact same thing behind closed doors. We don't wallow in the pungent aroma of tadkha and pretend it's awesome. At least i don't. This is another example of liberal, right-on goreh getting offended on our behalf, and blowing the issue out of all proportion.

[dallysingh101]

Oh well. At least we've found something to make us laugh in these crazy times. 

"Damn curry pong sticks to the carpets, curtains and everyfing!"
