Best Answer

Many bigots choose to make a mockery of the Hindus religious beliefs and cultures and as a result make derogatory remarks about the decorative dot on their forehead. Asking if someone is born with the red dot on their forehead, knowing that the dot is not a part of their anatomy is as ignoramus as asking if someone is born with clothes.
