It might get a lot of eye-rolls but nobody would claim Leno was making a mockery of the American people. It's just comparing two things that are hot - weather, chicken wings, weather, curry. Not that I find Leno funny anyway...

However I think I see what Cynthetiq is saying - that he's not necessarily offended by those videos, instead he's pointing out that using Indians and their accent, music and regional references is acceptable, but if it was an African setting, with african accents, music and regional references it might be thought of as a mocking their culture. Am I far off Cynthetiq?
