I believe the answer is:

as if

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'would it happen to an indian' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'man?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'man?' could be 'si' and 'si' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for as if that I've seen before include "I very much doubt it!" , "a voice of doubt" , "You're joking!" , "Yeah right!" , "Unbelievable!" .)
