I should have mentioned that specifically, because it is actually very disrespectful and you are correct. Of course the show isn’t perfect, and honestly it’s really amazing how so much of it IS very respectful and then they somehow just totally drop the ball like that in regards to Guru Pathik and Indian cultural references, religious influences, etc, which could have been some of the most powerful pieces of story telling and imagery that already naturally fit into the story very well.

I’ll add a disclaimer in my comment to read yours in addition
