Calm down people, my original and followup posts referred to the article’s headline that referred to Slumdog Style. It had nothing to do with the store, or Indians or the movie or anything. It was the phrase “Slumdog Style”. There’s no abuse going on here, the moderator can delete my comments anytime she wishes (and may do so with this one to end this discussion finally).

Frankly, i find it pathetic to see “slumdog” abusing a perfectly good forum. Anyone with half a brain understands that the movie is a myopic view of an extremely diverse society/culture. Before you play out your soapbox here visit the country and gather real facts.

Slums are NOT India; and India is NOT a slum.
Yes, I have been there.

The store has such fascinating stuff that it brings back vivid happy memories.

It’s certainly not a soapbox, but you are right about the hypocritical name. I’ll go to something more appropriate.

slumdog-i think you need to get off your soapbox. it is hypocritical of you to claim disdain for the word and turn around and use it as a username.

Can we all agree to disagree?

You wouldn’t call it PC if you were one of the millions who were called that as an insult. Walk in someone else’s shoes.

When I hear ‘redskin’ look I also think of burgundy and gold.

Obviously the article is referencing the movie . Let’s stop with the PC and focus on what appears to be a great store in the neighborhood.

I was talking about the name “Redskin” being an insult to indians, not the football team. But your posting kind of says it all Jen–people just don’t get it.

OMG. Yes, if I were referring to dressing in gold and maroon padded jerseys, tight white pants, and smudging black marks under my eyes, I’d call it the “Redskins look” without hesitation.
