Hindu You Know What You’re Talking About?, Part 2
I work at a retail store in western Pennsylvania where the majority of the customers are, for the most part, educated.
Customer: *Looking at my necklace* “What’s that? An elephant man?”
Me: “Oh, it’s Lord Ganesh!”
Customer: “Who?”
Me: “He’s a god in Hinduism. I, myself, am Hindu.”
The customer looks at me quizzically.
Customer: “You don’t look Hindu.”
Me: “Well, ma’am, Hinduism is a religion, not a race.”
Customer: “Oh. Well, then, I’m sorry.”
