Desi FOBia

Now at your local store...

What I can't seem to figure is the (sales) pitch of this merchandise. Not the least of the reasons being that there is a bib, a thong and an apron (for the whole family!) for sale out there.

Many a time, a seemingly derogatory term (like the word 'blacks') is itself turned on its head and defiantly displayed to reflect a new found confidence and indifferent comfort with the epithet. Like most labels that have outlived their age, the merchandise seems to proclaim that 'FOBs' is no longer a stereotypecast.
