Assuming that's true, that sounds perfect for an Indian wrestler. Embracing a part of his heritages' culture as part of a character doesn't sound ignorant at all. Lots of wrestlers have done it.

Now if they did a story line where he got fired and had to get a job at a corner store, then you might be able to raise some flags.
Jinder is a Canadian and not an Indian. He's a Punjabi Sikh. Elephants are not associated with his heritage. It's ignorant to generalize.

It's like saying that CM Punk should sport a four-leaf clover and Freddie Mercury should wear a Parsi hat. Both of the associations that I made are accurate.
