Now I realize why Hindus always remind me of Albertans.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

On the flipside, I've really no problem with people deciding as years pass that a response to a situation should change.

I don't think Hindu is considered an ethnic group.

Well, you have two choices then. Amend your thinking or continue to be incorrect.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I still am outraged about how the promise of an afterlife was used to stop people from masturbating for centuries.

I guess in pre-modern society not masturbating makes sense, its a waste of calories.
Also people tended to live communally. Everybody hates THAT GUY.

Nah. There are many different ethnic groups in India and members may be Hindu, Muslim, or something else entirely.

And the term "Hindu" is a blanket term to cover all none Muslim or Christian peoples in India.  While there is a religious element to it, it's not required, like being a Jew.  You can be a Hindu and an Atheist.

It will sure be a shock to the Sikhs when they learn this fact.

Depends if they are of the Hindu ethnic group or not.  If not, it might be a shock, if so then probably not.  They learned that fact a long time ago since the term "Hindu" starting being used in the West to describe the myriad peoples of India.

Nowadays I'm working in software development. I don't program, but I do the software architecture and manage a team of Indian engineers who implement those designs.
