Namaste bros, hope your bookings are hot and your towels still dry.
As the wise aunty in Dandenong once told me, “even the cleanest man will stink in the wrong room.” I didn’t understand at the time — now maybe I do.
So I’ve been browsing the rosters lately, just humble punter research, nothing too advanced maybe cross-referencing with my bank balance and moon sign. And yaar, one phrase keeps following me like family WhatsApp group:
“No Indians.”
Sometimes it’s small-small, like a footnote.
Other times it’s full capital letters, like they’re scared we might bring coriander in our socks.
I’m not crying about it, bhai. Just… confused.
I’m Indian, yes. But I shower twice, speak softly, bring exact change, and only negotiate during Diwali sales.
So I have to ask is it something we did?
Did one of us bring our cousin to the room?
Did someone say “I love you” before the towel even hit the chair?
I know we have a reputation. Loud. Hairy. Maybe overly friendly.
But surely not every brown bhai is arriving with samosas and a speaker?
And I’ve noticed… this “No Indian” thing wouldn’t fly anywhere else. Imagine a bar saying “No Chinese” or a dating app saying “No Italians unless quiet.” There’d be protests, right?
But in punting world… it’s normal. Even expected.
And no one says anything. Not even us.
So I’m asking nicely, gently, respectfully — what’s the real reason, bros?
Forum veterans, syndicate experts, ML whisperers I’m sure some of you know.
Is it hygiene? Behaviour? Accent? Too much Bollywood in the playlist?
Or are WLs just trained to assume we’re all spicy, stingy, and secretly recording?
Please share your wisdom.
I don’t want to start drama, just unlock the next chakra of understanding.
With love, Dettol, and a fresh pair of socks,
(The one who brings his own towel and still gets filtered like masala tea)
