Ah, the classic "you're racist and if you disagree, then you're double racist!" gambit. I think ESR coined the term "kafkatrapping".
> It is affirming the stereotype Indian males lack confidence with women
The whole show is about males lacking confidence with women. Did you even watch the thing? The only male there that has any screen time and doesn't have problems approaching women is Zack, I think. And he's a walking stereotype too and dumb as a ton of bricks.
> worshipping of cows etc
If you think Raj saying "I swear to cow" is supposed to be a portrayal of a real Indian person, as opposed to obviously completely ridiculous comedic gag, lampshading its own ridiculousness - maybe you shouldn't be watching comedy, it's not good for you. Stick to anti-harassment videos from HR, there's no comedy there.
