Mat George’s viral tweets
One of his viral tweets included an incident of his mom seeing Snoop Dogg in Los Angeles. This tweet inspired so many people and urged them to leave beautiful comments.

Mat George’s Indian American identity
Throughout his life, Mat George did not talk about his Indian American identity. Instead, he focused more on his work than anything else. Some people say that he did not want his identity to interrupt his career. However, he had made the occasional quip. One of them was his decision of letting his family find his better half. This usually doesn’t happen in America. India is the place where elders find life partners for their sons and daughters. Mat George was an open-minded person, but he had permitted his family to look for an educated and beautiful girl for him. This shows that he was deeply connected with his culture.
