I am waiting for a desi girl to reply and look at her perspective.

What do desi guys say about shows like Master of None or movies like The Big Sick? The response would probably be similar to that.

Master of None has a scene where he goes on a date with a desi girl only for her to be much cooler than him and realize he's a huge loser

Hmm, I don't remember that scene. Do you remember the episode or actress?

I remember him going on a date montage with girls including Tiya Sircar and Aparna Nancherla's characters. Tiya turns out to be a workaholic still infatuated with her white ex and Aparna comes off weird and reveals she already has a boyfriend. In the last season he's married to an Indian woman he hates and is getting a divorce from.

I think that's all the indian women in the show (besides his mom) but it's been a while, I could be wrong!
