Indians Are Unbothered By Summer Heat While Westerners Complain

Text comparing the calm reaction of Indians to summer heat against the exaggerated complaining of western people facing hot weather

This meme uses a behind-the-scenes photograph from the 2019 Joker film, taken on a subway train set. On the left, actor Joaquin Phoenix in full Joker costume and makeup sits calmly with a faint amused expression, labeled 'Indians'. On the right, film director Todd Phillips sits gesturing wildly with both hands raised in an exasperated manner, labeled 'people in the west complaining about the hot weather'. The joke relies on the common stereotype that people living in India are accustomed to far higher summer temperatures, so they remain unbothered by heat that people in western countries find intolerable and worthy of complaint. A 'made with mematic' watermark is present in the bottom left corner.
