My problem is with a specific, hyper common ingredient of Indian food: Cumin
I'm sorry, but garlic, onion, cloves, etc don't even come close to the clinging, pervasive staying power of cumin.
I don't like to smell what I cook or eat for days after the fact.

2 things.

It's food that is prepared in India (not essentially the cultural food). They have sanitation issues like other developing nations. Mexico- "don't drink the water".

White people with their sensitive tummies think salt is spicy.
Am American and eat Indian food several times a month. Even here there's hole in the wall restaurants that have sanitation issues and you have to do some investigating before choosing to eat at a new place.

American peasants
Could you post some examples of comedy shows making fun of indian food? Otherwise it sounds like you are using anecdata and then drawing an inaccurate and worthless generalization of a diverse genre of "comedy shows."
