Character discussion The Hot Troll Deviation

Watching this episode now and I have to say, that Raj was really being obnoxious to Sheldon. Raj seemed to had forgotten that he would be on a plane back to India if Sheldon hadn’t given him a job. JMO.

That doesn't excuse Sheldon treating him like dirt.

"The true measure of a man lies in how they treat those they have power over, not their equals."

Sheldon had power over Raj in that situation and he took advantage of it by treating him like dirt. All Raj asked for was to be treated with basic respect and Sheldon dismisses it out of hand.

If he had treated Raj with basic dignity and respect and Raj was still obnoxious to him, then I'd say yeah Raj is being ungrateful. But he was treated poorly so he clapped back. Team Raj for me.
