By becoming an American citizen, I feel I, too, have two wonderful safe-joke territories, in that I can make fun of, and laugh about, all things Indian or American.
Heck, I can play my Indian card when it isn't even about jokes. The other day, in class, "B" remarked something about pronouncing the word "treacle" to which my response was something like this: "you are asking a guy who walks around butchering every word with his accent." I so know that I can get away with mispronunciations, while an American-born cannot :)
But, the more Indians view me only as an American, well, I think that my days of freely and publicly enjoying jokes related to India will be numbered. I shall keep pushing my luck!

If mixing two countries results in humor being multiplied so much, imagine how fantastic it would be in the scenario that Russell Peters makes us laugh about:
