Show me the meaning of being "Desi"

This is a new song i came across by Penn Masala:

Show me the meaning of being Desi.
I'm a FOB. Just look at me.
I love maths or engineering.
And clothes that match don't interest me, bebi.

ABCD is who I be.
I'm from Queens or New Jersey.
I talk hoodie and fight at all the parties.

Show me the meaning of being Desi.
FOB or ABCD.
Indian but no we're not all the same.
And this is how we play the game.

My GPA is 4.0.
How to party I don't know.
Papa says, "Pre-med padho, bete." (Study pre-med, Son.)

I'm Jagdeep. You can call me Peeps.
I don't speak a single word of Punjabi.
I pretend to understand Hindi movies.

Show me the meaning of being Desi.
We drink limca or mango lassi.
Use cell phones to make all our local calls.
Our last names have ten syllables.

You know me, I'm your T.A.
You never understand a word I say.
I failed English, but that ok, bebi.

Show me the meaning of being Desi.
After we eat, our hands are messy.
Who we are is now all becoming clear.
Two-thirds of us are named Samir.

Show me the meaning of being Desi.
FOB or ABCD.
Indian but no we're not all the same.
And this is how we play the game.
