Naomi is presumably Indian, and hits all the stereotypes about Indian women (doctor, family loyalty, romantic ritual suicide).
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD8
Rhodesia is not in India, TvTropes. Also, I must have missed the version of MGS4 where Naomi immolated herself on a funeral pyre out of loooooooove.

Dear God, Fly. You know the most obscure facts about this series. So would you say she's Indian?

That is true. That MGS entry kinda bugs me because some of the examples make sense (Mei Ling and Olga being Chinese and Russian stereotypes respectively), some of them seem like a stretch (Naomi), and some of them I absolutely don't get (Sigint as a black stereotype). Especially since there are more glaringly obvious racial/ethnic stereotypes in the series (Liquid and Zero are both evil and very stereotypically British), not to mention the unfortunate implication inherent in Peace Walker's lily-white cast despite the ambiguous Central/South American setting.
