Ethnicity, race and gender stereotypes

Within this scene Leonard and Raj's sister are dating and they walk into the restaurant where Raj is already there. As soon as he see's them together he automatically says that he has toe them that they cannot hold hands, whereas they have already spent the night together so the female in this case is very dominant, whereas in this race the male is nearly always dominant. This then breaks the stereotype because she has already gone against what he says and in this religion they have to do as the male says. Also at the end Raj and his sister are talking to their parents on video chat and they ask how they are and the mum and dad say that they are fine because they are rich in a poor area. This shows that the stereotype of an indian family is that they are very rich and like people to know this due to their culture, so by being in a country that is not as rich as their country of origin it makes them look like the stereotype of a traditional indian family as they look a lot richer than the majority of who they are living around.
