In this clip, an Indian son bring home his gay partner and his parents only assume that it is his good friend. Eventually he confesses to his parents, that he is gay. The parents here cannot accept this fact. This here highlights the attitude that is stereotypically shown by asians to gay people. Traditionally gays are frowned upon and looked at very very very very negatively in the asian society. In this clip, the parents accents are also very stereotyped. Many asian parents nowadays have lived in the country for a long time, and therefore do not have strong accents, yet the stereotype always hangs around.
"my son is a lesbian!!"
"go to your room, and don't come back until you are not of the gay"
These sentences from the clip also show asians to be uneducated.
