Heard some funny stereotypes about Tamils today, Would love to hear if any of you have heard something similar?

A bit of a background - I'm 29M from Kerala but have lived my entire life in Coimbatore TN. I fell in love with a gir (27F) from Kolhapur Maharashtra, though we're from the same community and I'm meeting the expectations (except one) her parents set for a groom they're dead set against our marriage. Her father (An Army Official) to dissuade the girl has said to her the following things about Tamil people - Apparently Tamils are very violent and brutish people - We engage in frequent wife beatings and have an affinity to domestic violence - We're untrustworthy and shady - Tamils are well known for human trafficking and selling off their wives to gulf countries - We don't treat elders/relatives with respect and have no value for relationships The girl obviously knows these are all extremely misleading and he's trying desperately to change her mind about marriage with a TN boy. We might end up eloping and getting a court marriage done Note - I'm at a senior management level in a MNC and have submitted all docs to prove the same to the girl's parents. So dear redditors, have you heard some similar or more absurd stereotypes about Tamils?
