I have to but in here.  What about the racial stereotypes we see in this
film. I, for one was on to Dil fromthe outset (perhaps its because I've
lived in NYC) but I find it more interesting that sexual dysfunction --
or perhaps sexual 'optional-functioning' is played out with a black male
character who is "pathetic" and/or submissive. Why is this imagery
considered so enticing by non-black audiences?
