he sooooooooooooooooo does not look INDIAN!!!!!!!!!!!! DO you guys think he’s cute???
Indian is a nationality, not a race or ethnicity; Jay’s ethnicity is Punjaban/Punjabi and his national origin is Indian. India is made up of tons of ethnic groups. And there is no such language as “Indian.” Sean/shaan means shining star in Punjabi.
