Some examples of satire in White Tiger:
"Out of respect for the love of liberty shown by the Chinese people, and also in the belief that the
future of the world lies with the yellow man and the brown man now that our erstwhile master,
the white-skinned man, has wasted himself through buggery, cell phone usage, and drug abuse, I
offer to tell you, free of charge, the truth about Bangalore. "
This sentence insults White or Western people by saying they wasted their life through "buggery,cell phone usage and drug abuse" He then supports himself saying the future lies with the yellow and the brown man.
"Don't waste your money on those American books. They're so yesterday. I am tomorrow."
He is attacking the American books about how to become an entrepreneur saying that they are yesterday and that he is tomorrow.
"you know how we Indians just take to technology like ducks to water."
That was a stereotype because he grouped or generalized a statement to Indians. He didn't specify to himself. He said that all Indians are addicted to technology and that we need it.
