What is wrong with these two?

Scene 1

Location: Somewhere in San Jose area in California

Backdrop: A lazy fall afternoon day which happens to be the day before Christmas during mid-90's.

Actors: A woman who is a bus driver and two young (?) guys from India who are FOB
(fresh on-board). Needless to say, they are those h1 visa holders from India who were entering the US in flocks those days. Let's name one of them Raj & the other as Gaj. Incidentally, they became friends while working at the same client site for just over a month.

Let's go to the scene:

Both the guys hop on to the bus that's parked on the bus stop. They couldn't find the driver inside the Bus and in fact, there is no one inside the bus. So they decide tomove to the back side of the bus and wait for the driver. They wait for about five minutes and the driver gets onto the bus with a large drink in her hands.

Driver: Hi guys... Merry Christmas.. Where are you guys heading today?
Gaj: Hi... We are heading to Santa Clara.
Driver: OK. Let's wait for a few more minutes and get going.... Let's see if some other passengers show up..
Raj to Gaj: What is this man? I have never seen an empty bus in India like this where the driver is actuallywaiting for passengers. If it is in Madras, there will be about 100 people waiting for the bus in the bus stop andthe driver would stop the bus at least few hundred yards away from the stop to avoid passengers boarding thealready full-house bus.
Gaj: In the US it is this way man! People have cars to go around places and plus it is holiday season-naa, so people would have gone shopping in their cars.
Driver: OK guys. Let's go. Looks like it is going to be an empty bus so let me know where you want to get down, allright?
Gaj: Sure..

After a few momens, the bus gets started. Now the driver feels that she is alone in the front part of the bus and she needs someone to talk to (apparently). Without showing her feeling, she says "Guys... There is no one in the bus except us three. So, come to the front side of the bus to balance the load(?)".

Now, Gaj and Raj both go and sit near the driver's seat.

Driver: So, what are you guys planning to do for Christmas?
Gaj: Well, we have no plans. May be some movies!
Driver: Do you have any family here?
Gaj: No.. We don't have our families here.
Driver: That's bad... How about you mister?

This time the question is posed at Raj who has been quitely watching Gaj and driver conversing. Not that he didn't want to disturb their conversation but he had no idea how to converse with strangers (don't ask him why! This is one of Eastern stuff he brought with him).

Raj: Well, I too don't have any family here!
Driver: So, what have YOU planned for Christmas then?
Gaj: Well, I am a Hindu so I don't celeberate Christmas!!!!

Uh, oh... Now, Raj has woken up a sleeping giant and all hell is gonna break loose.
After hearing this answer, the driver waits for a moment and parks the bus at the next stop and turns around towards Raj. Raj is now terrified man not knowing exactly what he told her to piss her off!

Driver: Let me tell you one thing..... When you are in America, you are an American. So, don't bring that Indian or Hindu type of thing here. Christmas is not a religious festival in the US. It is a holiday celeberated to enjoy winter weather where family and friends get to gether. So, next time someone asks this question to you, you better say that you are going to watch movies, or eat lunch/dinner with your friends and stuff. And don't ever say that you don't celeberate Christmas.

Raj: I am sorry.. I didn't mean to offend you but I told you the truth.
Driver: I know for a fact that most people from India don't celeberate Christmas. As I said, be an American when you are in America. And you are American since you are in America.
Raj: OK. I will remember.

The scene continues such that both of them are dropped at the bus stop eventually and they go home to celeberate the Holidays.

Let's fast forward our story to exactly five years. Now we are in 2001.

Scene 2:

Location: An Office Building in Texas

Backdrop: A lazy afternoon during Office hours which happens to be the day before Christmas.

Actors: Two men. One is Raj (who acted in Scene 1) and the other is John Doe (original name protected). Both are colleagues in a Company and each works in different departments of the Company. John Doe is in Sales & Raj is a developer.

Let's go to the conversation.

JD: Hi Raj ... So, what's happening? What are you planning to do for the holiday?
Raj: No.. But, I am going to celeberate Christmas by watching movies and stuff...
JD: Wait a minute... I thought you are a Hindu!
Raj: Yes, I am a Hindu.
JD: But, I thought Hindus don't celeberate Christmas.
Raj: Yes, Hindus don't celeberate Christmas.. But I celeberate it.
JD: How?
Raj: Because, I am an American. In America, Christmas is not a religious day.. It is a day when family and friends get togetherand have family time. Those who don't, just hang out with friends and stuff. Basically, everybody celeberates Christmas as a holiday, one way or the other.
JD: But, you are not an American.
Raj: Well, I am.. I am in America so I am American.
JD: No, you cannot be an American. You are neither naturlized citizen nor born in the US. So, you are not American. Nor you canceleberate Christmas.
The scene continued with these two men's conversation on other stuff. Raj never brought up this subject ever after with JD.


Now, the question to you: What is wrong with these two scenes?
