    Very funny. If you could find an unblocked clip of the probably preceding business meeting sketch of introducing Jonathan to the group, I'd be delighted. Saw it a few years ago, loved, it, and now can't find it (unblocked), again. I loved it because it poked fun at us non-Indians who have trouble with long Indian names (because they are unfamiliar). After seeing it, and laughing (also at myself), I've made a concerted effort to learn them.

    Not that anyone cares, but the British / Anglo-Indian community are kinda sorta reduced to stereotypes...bad white colonial villains, or clinical English modern supervillain

    Why is in the title the word 'reversal'??? That would suggest that British people are the one who stereotyping Indians...and if Indians do to British, than it is a reversal stereotyping... ??? Indians do stereotyping British people...so there is not such thing 'reversal stereotyping.

      I understand.
      The answer to your question is that I posted another sketch from the same episode of Goodness Gracious Me (simultaneous to posting this one) titled 'Ethnic Stereotyping' which was set in the UK and was a satire of ethnic stereotyping there.
      It would not have made sense to post both with the same title.
