Do you want to know how to REALLY annoy a mexican? Tell us how much you like mexican food followed by "... at Taco Bell".
The left hand in India is used for cleaning oneself after using the toilet---never to be used when eating! That is what this cartoon is all about.

It is custom to eat and shake with the right hand because the left hand is for wiping your butt (although, they wash their hands too now most have running water).
I think a lot of people are missing the point here. In India the left hand is considered to only be used for dirty/unclean things. e.g. People use water rather than toilet paper to wipe, and certainly don't use their right hand to do it. So to force an Indian to only use their left hand to eat is actually really disgusting.
For those of you who don't get the joke: They don't use toilet paper, they use their left hand to wipe their butt.
Indians don't wipe their butt. They wash it with water.

They eat with their right hands because the left hand is used for wiping your a*s. That’s just nasty.
Interesting. I eat using only my right hand, unless I'm using cutlery.
The left hand is for toiletting so it's offensive to pass them things using your left hand. It's a show of disrespect. This taboo is also adopted by many South East Asian countries with Indic influence in the past (for example Malaysia)
Indians would probably be horrified to know that most Americans wipe with their dominant hands and most Americans are right-handed.
Someone please explain this one to me. I guess I don't understand Indian culture well enough to understand he joke...
As Indians, we believe that only the right hand must be used while eating. The left hand is used for all other purposes. That may be considered a way to maintain proper hygiene. (however, certain times it becomes quite difficult for leftists)

Lol I'm peruvian and I know many of us would react like that xD I'd be willing to try and be polite though.

England: Make a cup of tea the colour of hearing-aid beige. Wales: Call them English. Scotland: Call them British. Ireland:....actually I can't think of anything that would annoy them
If there was a no one it would be something along the lines of “no gumboots” or “where in Australia are you from” (New Zealand HATES Australia)((I’m a New Zealander))
“No one” was supposed to be NZ

# 8 Not true! Mexicans hate people think of hard shell tacos, chimichangas, burritos, etc as Mexican food. Also, there's no such thing as street tacos or soft shell tacos. Soft or street tacos are just "Tacos" that is the way they are supposed to be. Never made with flour tortilla, ground beef, sour cream, cheese or lettuce. Are you kidding me?!?!?! The end! LOL
Ways to p**s off a Japanese: 1. Listen to your music loudly in public 2. Ignore elderly people on the train while sitting. 3. Litter. 4. Leave a tip. 5. Don't slurp your noodles. 6. Don't bring a gift to a friend's house 7. Assume that what is shown in anime is true 8. Blow your nose in public 9. Wreak havoc at a shrine 10. Don't speak formally to your elders/employers.
There is no Chilean ceviche what exists is a badly named pisco Chilean that in fact is a poor brandy. Our cultural torture is that they take possession of pisco, lomo saltado, suspiro limeño, etc, And sell it to the world like yours.
I always break spaghetti in two and I'm Italian. We all do except know-it-all food bores (all of them men btw).
This was beyond stupid, stereotypical and obvious... I want 1 minute of my life back.
This is all so . . . cheap. Of course, I should have guessed that from the use of the words "to p**s off people", but I was hoping the writer had ideas that generally transcended eighth grade.
Indonesians: let them eat with their left hand. They wash their butts with it
Nobody dare offend a muslim! They start a riot.

To p**s off Mexicans, give them American-style hard-shell tortilla chips with meat and assorted vegetables and call it a taco. To p**s off non-Mexico City Mexicans, ask them whether they like their quesadilla with or without cheese. Conversely, to p**s of Mexico City Mexicans, give them a quesadilla with cheese without asking first.
Put in front of ANY Slav vegetarian food , or in front of Bosniak "burek" without meat
In Italian it's "Mamma" with a double "M". If you really want to stereotype us, at least do it properly.
Every nations has the different people... I like American people like Donald Trump, Ivanka Trump, Miranda Lambert and Nicole Kidman, and I do not like John Mccain...
I am from Québec and I will be very pleased if someone ask me if I am from US instead of canada.
Yeah well go be a part of their country then. We won't miss you.

I am sure that it isn't because these are not differentiating between people based on their race but their nationality. I hope that helps.
