Im from Pakistan and i have a noticable accent (i live in germany) here nobody cares because germany nowadays so many immigrant so every one makes fun of each other
I was born and brought up here in india and I have never stepped foot outside the country and i have an accent but i am probably going to switch to a foreign accent because of all the shit my accent could get me it just doesnt feel worth it to keep this Indian accent in the long run, i dont really care about the originality factor i just dont want people bothering me anywhere, and thankfully watching english content and shows for years really made me comfortable with making that switch
Nobody's giving you shit for your Indian accent in literally India dude. Unless you're talking to people from South Bombay/Delhi and rubbing shoulders with those pretentious pricks, I would know, I'm from South Delhi.
Make a video on " rasicm on south asian international students at foregin countries (especially in English-speaking countries) and how it affects them".
@@TheBrownExperience Can you also make a video on the dehumanizing stereotypes that the West has been perpetuating against South Asians for over a century such as street sh&tters, scammers, r@pists, filthy, etc? Now, media and trolls on social media are portraying South Asians as zoophiles. I am pretty sure you have seen this where the trolls take articles about animals being r@ped in India and post it online to dehumanize us. These stereotypes are the sole reason we face discrimination in foreign countries, I don’t think it is skin color as many Italians, Greeks, Persians, and Hispanics have tan skin, but face far less discrimination. It’s about image. These stereotypes also affect Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, and Sri Lankans as they are associated with India. The West, for especially the Anglo-Saxons are the sole cause of this.
i have a pretty american sounding acccent and i've noticed a genuinely completely different level of service i can get over the phone vs my friends with an indian accent. we literally had food delivery that didn't arrive once and all of them tried to get a refund and couldn't and the second i asked for it the customer service rep said he would see what options are available. the same thing happens with my parents. whenever they visit me in the us i do most of the talking to people in customer facing jobs because they just get worse treatment. i don't even think it's conscious. they just hear an indian accent and it activates the racism in their brains. i'm not american but i sound like it so i'm not a threat i guess
bro this video is great. the mockery of the indian accent is partly why that "HELICOPTER, HELICOPTER" meme audio rubs me the wrong way - an indian-american
Ig it was years 2 ago i was on discord i really used to hesitate on doing vcs just cause i thought they'll make fun of me for the way i speak or smth but soon i built up some courage and started joining vcs(it was at the time when discord also added games to vcs so that helped even more with the socialising on voice situation) and i dont think ive ever been made fun off cause of the accent or even been pointed out for it ever, some even gave compliments saying i sound good which ofc did help with the confidence online. Overall i think i had the good ending here. 😭
I had an Indian boss with a fairly thick accent. One day she called tech support on speaker phone and got an American. Freaking hilarious reversal of the cliché.
I’m Anglo-Indian(born in Pakistan, live in Canada). It’s fascinating as no one in my family, from my grandparents down, had an Indian/Pakistani accent. They spoke English at home, even back in the home country. They did have pretty sharp “queen’s english” on my dad’s side, and a more rougher, lower class British accent. They equated the Indian accent with “speaking English poorly”, and I think that unfortunately still is a belief that persists. Accent reduction is a big business in this community for a reason. My parents have never run into issues over accents getting in the way of a job too; my moms faded entirely, my dad’s has morphed into a horrific combination of Albertan and British, which turns out to sound nearly bloody South African. I was born in Pakistan, but left too early to ever hear the accent. And we didn’t move to Brampton, but instead much further west. I WAS the only brown person in my school. To be clear, I’m not saying this is in anyway a good thing. Nor really meant to be bad either. But it’s a weird holdover from the Raj my family definitely unconsciously maintained. And we did move to Brampton eventually(very populated by South Asians) and I met a lot of very rich Indians who had the same view, inherited from their parents. Unlike me, they didn’t have mixed ancestry. But they still chased that “any accent but Indian” thing out of pathological fear of “looking uneducated”. They…sounded either like British people(speaking the Queen’s) or had very upper crust Canadian accents…with just this tiny twinge of Indian peeking through. And unfortunately, white people DO notice and make it worse; the amount of compliments I receive on “wow your English is impeccable” is frustrating as frankly, I’d fucking hope so! It’s the only language I know lol. But I know they aren’t commenting on my vocabulary…it’s the lack of accent. Funnily enough, we moved once more into the rural countryside, and my accent locked in place…as a very thick rural Canadian one. This baffles any British friends I have; it’s the “wrong” voice, they joked at first. While I’ll admit I’m far from perfect, and my opinions of India/Pakistan are not that fantastic because of our religion and background meaning we took the brunt of blame once the British left(which is faiiiiiir). And I do reflexively hit back on occasion, especially as my geopolitics is very sharply western oriented. But I do think it’s a crying shame we are judging the Indian/Pakistani accent this hard, and often, it’s rooted in bad pop culture depictions, angry reactions to call centres(which most Canadian-born South Asians despise also) and just plain old racism. Accents are a very neat and interesting linguistically, a sign of how English is perceived and spoken by non-native speakers and different regions. Almost every accent is cool in its own way. Accent reduction, to me, feels like ripping away a part of a personality. And sure, it helps you get work. But it’s not the accent you grew up with, and people generally have some attachment or nostalgia for that. Making it “weird” or shameful is so mean for so little gain.
Hey man, can you make a video on Christian Caniff? He has been making prank videos using an Indian accent and doing Indian public freakouts for years and is still going lol. Almost all of the videos have "Indian Balijeet" in the title too
8:13 Brother I was doing a mock European Parliament thing (during Covid time so online) between like a dozen schools across Europe including my own, and I got elected President of the whole thing. Yet, during my speech (I’ve never lived in India and don’t sound Indian at all) a few jokers were saying PubgMobile to disrupt me etc. Didn’t affect me so much but it’s usually about racism nit your own actual accent.
great video just subscribed! It has always bothered me how people speaking with an Indian accent is seen as embarrassing or funny while Australian or other such accents are seen as sexy and hot. Would also love to see your take about what seems like a crazy ramp up in anti-indian sentiment in general online and how normalized racism against indians has been recently. It feels like anytime i’m on instagram and come across reels from an indian creator, the comments are always filled with just casual racist bullshit it’s honestly exhausting at this point
Actually INDIA HAS VARIETY OF ACCENTS because of language diversity.. Different language speakers have different ACCENTS.. I'M TIRED OF GENERALIZATION ❤❤
My opinion on the brown accent they act surprised that people from other countries sound different from them and also my accent according by my father is a bland western accent and my brown accent sound zesty
2:47 Bro at uni I saw 2 girls in the CS Labs watch a vid from some guy explaining a concept w a massive Indian accent and the 2 girls sat through it and acted like it was totally normal and I was shocked at their non racism 😂😂
I was exposed to American accents at a pretty young age so I feel like I mask my indian accent pretty well but yeah it is definitely a problem and I have had to contend with my own internalized racism whenever my parents use their indian accent with sales clerks, customer service etc. because I used to find myself incredibly self conscious of that. I physically cannot talk with an Indian accent around my american friends anymore though I don't think that's racism so much as me unconsciously and consciously mirroring them. Idk.
I have a pretty white accent and it's definitely a plus living in NA. I don't think I'd have the confidence to be able to go up and talk to a girl if I had a strong Indian accent
@@_vvvvvvvvvvvvv_ An accent where people assume you are white until they learn your name or see you in person. Not sure where the racism angle is coming from. Weirdo
Good video bhai. I'm an international student in usa, currently trying to change my accent a bit to sound more american. It really hurts my confidence seeing all the accent comments online. Thank you for this video.
There's even making fun of names too. I have a pretty tame Indian name, but my friend from Pakistan's name is: Afaq. Cue the laughter. I get it, it's funny for a little bit however they constantly go on and on about it even I get irritated, he takes it like a sport but can't imagine what the guy's dealing with
Even though I’m American born and raised, I was teased about the South Asian accent. My friends would ask me why I don’t sound like Apu on Simpsons. I’m like:”dude, I grew up down the street from you”. It made me look anyone with a South Asian accent with a sense contempt. Even my parents, I couldn’t take them as seriously. It is why Kumail Nanjiani is such a landmark figure. He has an accent, and it’s just that, an accent. That’s not a part of his joke. Nobody is laughing at the way he speaks
I'm Nigerian, so yeah, my accent was made fun of, too, and the whole Nigerian prince scam stereotype doesn’t make it easier. I didn't just get made fun of by white people it was everyone. Sometimes, though, you just have to firm it. Giving them a reaction can sometimes make it worse.
I never had an accent during primary and high school , everyone who was South Asian sounded Australian so we were never mocked for that however we did get the random racist Apu jokes or 711 jokes. Great content btw.
We had to call tech support at work once. The guy on the other end was from the mainland with such a thick accent and such a bad grasp of the English accent that my colleague gave up and handed the phone to me. Once I started talking to him even I had a hard time understanding him and had to switch to Hindi so that we could get the systems up and running 😂
I grew up with Amrican shows at a young age so when i actually started speaking english it was like in American accent, but later at school when I used that accent everyone looked at me funny, So I had learn the Indian accent to fit in, and now I can code switch to some degree , Honestly but even with this all rasicm i dont despise my accent at all, infact growing up around languages have made me appriciate them more and its wonderful how as a human race was learn each other languages to connect so far yet so near... btw love your videos
This reminds me of my transfer (British Pakistani) classmate and she always does a plethora of accents (hers is American, for some reason most of my British classmates have American accents), it's usually British or Indian and she keeps doing it randomly 😭🙏 then there's my other British Pakistani transfer classmate who makes fun of Pakistan asf... She has a heavy British accent and she usually does an Indian English............ tho her British Urdu accent is hella funny 😭
the thing is that most people dont know or probably ignorant about how big and diverse india is, for example the folks from the NE region has a complete different accents to that of the mainland india and also the different states got a distinct accents because of so many different regional languages, so to think and generalize a nation this big and diverse to into one specific accent is just dumb and I wouldn't blame an avg person outside of india for the stereotype cuz that's the only way they've heard an indian person speak english so if they hear a person from a different corner of the country speak english they'd probably think about what accent is that.
I am an indian who has been worki g in canada for 6 years . Never has anybody made fun of my accent . This whole thing only affects people who think online conversation are real life experiences aka "softies"
Those are not standard Indian accents. They are anglophiles and, at least in the case of Shashi Tharoor, went to very prestigious English language schools that were modelled after Eton and other prestigious private British schools.
People need to understand English is not the first language of indians and a country with 22 official languages 500+ unofficial and 1000+ dialects so each region of India has different English accent based on their mother tongue language
When you’re black and you get the same kind of “why do you talk like that?” questions as if you’re expected to perform a stereotype right then and there 😐 it’s called proper english, not “talking white”.
I mean if your accent hinders your progress in any institution or a setting it's pretty easy to just leave, I mean forcing yourself to talk in a way usually won't is just counter productive so the whole job preference will always be there for the people that represent the hotel's image which is of people forced to comply to fix in a box,not saying if it's wrong or right just saying if you don't like it just leave find someplace that accepts ya and your accent
@@शाम्भव-qf7od more so accept that this would always be there and no matter what you do you can't have private institutions from such people hire you for a front desk job, because racism will always be there even now in some parts of America racism towards black for jobs is prevalent,so rather than struggling there, just cut your losses go to somewhere where they don't mind the accent or appreciate it
Making Fun of accent is also pretty common in India tho it is more like a Joke if i am being honest. Like in my case i originate from Nepal and they call me "momos bechne wala" even tho i have been living here for more than I don't know 16 years but i also call my South Indian by "Haa kaise dosa wale bhaiya" I don't personally minded that much to be honest it's just light hearted jokes.
Why is Indian accent so ridiculed I mean yeah if it is very hard regional Indian English accent then it is very hard to understand but a general Indian accent is probably the most clearly pronounced English accent .
British: Oi, bo'ol o' wo' ah pleez Can eye geck er bot tel of wat ter [Idk if this is a good Toronto accent. Someone let me know. (Or don't if you don't feel like it. I don't care that much)]
Nope even i didn't even know about it lol. Pajeet derives from the word Paji which just means Brother i don't even get it how they made it a racial slur
As someone who knows many people with an "Indian accent", I don't know why people are so concerned over it. Sure it may sound funny when someone with the accent is saying certain phrases but its no reason to mock or "discriminate" against someone.
@@senorpako3701 who the hell are you to say that is cap?bet you arent even desi,i m a pakistani and i have literally the same accent as indians,it is not indian accent it is simply desi

If I was a culture vulture then surely I’d be talking about Mexican issues and trying to profit from that? The majority of people in the UK, Canada and US consider South Asians as brown so get outta here with that bs 🤣🤣
I’m Indian, my friends and I make fun of other Indian people’s accents - friends, family, strangers, EVERYONE can get it. I don’t see why non-Indians can’t make the same jokes, seems hypocritical.
1st . You ain't an Indian😂😂 2nd. You mocking us, for white validation and making fun of an accent is especially bad because, you don't make fun of accent but you make fun of race like don't redeem ahh accent 😂😂
You’re on a youtube channel called the brown experience and he’s talking about the brown experience, he’s not trying to say brown people have it the worst, just bringing light to brown issues
I'm sorry to hear that you feel you have it worse but I'd say don't let it get to you and if someone tries to judge you for how they speak then they just sound insecure themselves.
I hope they're able to distinguish between Pakistanis and indians,there are alot of pakistani youtube tutorials aswell,imagine what Pakistani must feel when someone likes his content but gives away credit to country of india.

As a Indian i am happy to not have a accent
11:55 how tf can a train and a plane be Indian? Also, Dhalsim is the most based representation we’ve ever had
Lmao anything can be Indian if you add an accent to it. Also imma have to agree on that last part
We had to call tech support at work once. The guy on the other end was from the mainland with such a thick accent and such a bad grasp of the English accent that my colleague gave up and handed the phone to me. Once I started talking to him even I had a hard time understanding him and had to switch to Hindi so that we could get the systems up and running 😂
I grew up with Amrican shows at a young age so when i actually started speaking english it was like in American accent, but later at school when I used that accent everyone looked at me funny, So I had learn the Indian accent to fit in, and now I can code switch to some degree , Honestly but even with this all rasicm i dont despise my accent at all, infact growing up around languages have made me appriciate them more and its wonderful how as a human race was learn each other languages to connect so far yet so near... btw love your videos
I can relate to you. It's not just the students, but the teachers also give looks...
This reminds me of my transfer (British Pakistani) classmate and she always does a plethora of accents (hers is American, for some reason most of my British classmates have American accents), it's usually British or Indian and she keeps doing it randomly 😭🙏 then there's my other British Pakistani transfer classmate who makes fun of Pakistan asf... She has a heavy British accent and she usually does an Indian English............ tho her British Urdu accent is hella funny 😭
My G dropped a video again and I know this is gonna blow up fosho
@ThermoWrld hopefully bro 🙏🏽
This guys videos are my life line
🙌🏽
W video ! Get my boy to 100k now 🙌

the thing is that most people dont know or probably ignorant about how big and diverse india is, for example the folks from the NE region has a complete different accents to that of the mainland india and also the different states got a distinct accents because of so many different regional languages, so to think and generalize a nation this big and diverse to into one specific accent is just dumb and I wouldn't blame an avg person outside of india for the stereotype cuz that's the only way they've heard an indian person speak english so if they hear a person from a different corner of the country speak english they'd probably think about what accent is that.
I am an indian who has been worki g in canada for 6 years . Never has anybody made fun of my accent . This whole thing only affects people who think online conversation are real life experiences aka "softies"
Ok tough guy, now piss off
thanks for being that guy bro. repping us indians out here
ayy man I'm trying fr
Had seen this happen a few times with my indian friends
Listen to satyajit ray and shashi tharoor's accents
Those are not standard Indian accents. They are anglophiles and, at least in the case of Shashi Tharoor, went to very prestigious English language schools that were modelled after Eton and other prestigious private British schools.
People need to understand English is not the first language of indians and a country with 22 official languages 500+ unofficial and 1000+ dialects so each region of India has different English accent based on their mother tongue language
MY GOATTTTTTT
@ThermoWrld you’re the 🐐 g
When you’re black and you get the same kind of “why do you talk like that?” questions as if you’re expected to perform a stereotype right then and there 😐 it’s called proper english, not “talking white”.
I mean if your accent hinders your progress in any institution or a setting it's pretty easy to just leave, I mean forcing yourself to talk in a way usually won't is just counter productive so the whole job preference will always be there for the people that represent the hotel's image which is of people forced to comply to fix in a box,not saying if it's wrong or right just saying if you don't like it just leave find someplace that accepts ya and your accent
@@kagaminiutsuru Yh but in the current job market you can’t really pick and choose 😵💫
ok. so just leave and not raise our voices against it? cool
@@शाम्भव-qf7od more so accept that this would always be there and no matter what you do you can't have private institutions from such people hire you for a front desk job, because racism will always be there even now in some parts of America racism towards black for jobs is prevalent,so rather than struggling there, just cut your losses go to somewhere where they don't mind the accent or appreciate it
i saw this 'Do not redeem it' spam in a zoom thugginng in a elderly Diwali meeting,
that makes no sense lol
Yo need more public interviews
imma do them at some point
15:27 Well this is a really common issue and has happened with few of my frnds
@ThermoWrld fr?
@TheBrownExperience yup
its funny but i dont like to mock anyone for it
Making Fun of accent is also pretty common in India tho it is more like a Joke if i am being honest.
Like in my case i originate from Nepal and they call me "momos bechne wala" even tho i have been living here for more than I don't know 16 years but i also call my South Indian by "Haa kaise dosa wale bhaiya"
I don't personally minded that much to be honest it's just light hearted jokes.
Yeah but In forgien and on social media the intentions are more hateful and are of mocking
@@JuneKafaltiya-y6p obviously in India nearly all of them are light hearted joke
Why is Indian accent so ridiculed
I mean yeah if it is very hard regional Indian English accent then it is very hard to understand but a general Indian accent is probably the most clearly pronounced English accent .
true
India doesn't have any one english accent. Indians have many english accents.
yh but according to people in the West we all sound the same lmao
British: Oi, bo'ol o' wo' ah pleez
Can eye geck er bot tel of wat ter
[Idk if this is a good Toronto accent. Someone let me know. (Or don't if you don't feel like it. I don't care that much)]
You forgot the “crodie” and “ahlie fam styll”
Id be pointing out someone with great accent I would say it would be Arun from MrWhoseTheBoss
Sorry if got the name wrong
Shoutout Arun I watch his videos
Just a video idea but you could make a video avout the history of indian carribeans from suriname guyana trinidad etc
Yhyh sounds like an interesting idea. I think I need to interview Indian Caribbeans for that video though
10:31 why is dhalsim there if doesn’t even sound Indian or is portrayed in anyway that stereotypes Indians as a group
5:06 Is that Snoop Dogg in the background?? 😂😂😂
I been discriminated for my foreign accent in india they can't understand it
fr?
do not redeem this to drive up your engagement 😅
Haha Preciate it
Aham atamhatyam karishyami

Do indians even know what pajeet means, I've said it to so many of them irl and they just do nothing about it
Glad to hear that, I don't get why you'd expect them to do anything about it when you're basically calling them a victor
@@egomaniac1209 inter teresting
Nope even i didn't even know about it lol.
Pajeet derives from the word Paji which just means Brother i don't even get it how they made it a racial slur
@@TheForgottenOne_ neither do I, are there any other ones I could use instead
As someone who knows many people with an "Indian accent", I don't know why people are so concerned over it. Sure it may sound funny when someone with the accent is saying certain phrases but its no reason to mock or "discriminate" against someone.
Yh but it happens unfortunately
That white guy explaining an Indian accent at the start doesn’t even sound Indian. I think it’s more akin to a Welsh or Scottish accent.
LOL fr I don't know what type of tutorial he was making
We Pakistanis have almost the same accent as indians,as a Pakistani i had enough of their racism against our accent.
🧢
@@senorpako3701 who the hell are you to say that is cap?bet you arent even desi,i m a pakistani and i have literally the same accent as indians,it is not indian accent it is simply desi
@@TellTheShadows 🤡
for sure bro its an experience for all South Asians
@@TheBrownExperience Dont forget bangladeshis, i think their accent must be same as ours or somewhat same,not sure about afghanis in afghanistan but some paktoons in pakistan have that accent aswell due to urdu being the national language,.talk about collateral racism.
Bro that do not redeem guy from india..... seriously if i get to meet him he aint leaving peacefully 😭 dude literally destroyed image of india....i hope those scammers get scammed....they aint leavin good impression 😭
Lmao I’m dead Yh he is the reason for a lot of the slander
My accent is way better than all the Gorapakoras out there
They can make fun of our accent we are too busy stealing there jobs 😂😂
lmao word
A
I think it's the scammers that ruined Indian accent. They should be accountable for this Indian accent hate.
💯 also Indians that make fun of other Indians for having a thicker accent
partly yes, otherwise it's just general racism
definitely lol
Scammers come from one particular demographic in India ROFL...
It all started from thier icon Chetan Bhagat's book A night @ call center
@@Jerome.. I get made fun of for not having the stereotypical accent....and some people so down the trenches they asked for my "rate" India is failing.
Are you a indian origin British ?
🎯
@TheBrownExperience bro how much racism do you face in real life compared to social media
They dont like our accent bcoz its litrelly bad an earsore
W video
Appreciate it 🤝
Its all because of those uneducated scammers
Nope. They were mocking it since way before.
Scammers are NOT uneducated, they come from a demographic who call themselves as the most meritorious class in India. *They are evil people*
Hard cfbr
you gotta be top commenter at this rate
Yo dude what's up with your pfp?
Its just a indian ancestor with his eyes blurred
Wdym?
Are you an '04 by any chance?
Nah close though
can you name your channel the Desi experience, brown = hispanics from latin america not Indians LMAO we mexicans cant have nothing to ourselves withouth culture vultures
If I was a culture vulture then surely I’d be talking about Mexican issues and trying to profit from that? The majority of people in the UK, Canada and US consider South Asians as brown so get outta here with that bs 🤣🤣
Another illegal immigrant infesting the comments, these creatures never stop spawning lmao
Americans when they listen to Italians and French English accents and realize Indian ain't even that bad.
I’m Indian, my friends and I make fun of other Indian people’s accents - friends, family, strangers, EVERYONE can get it. I don’t see why non-Indians can’t make the same jokes, seems hypocritical.
1st . You ain't an Indian😂😂
2nd. You mocking us, for white validation and making fun of an accent is especially bad because, you don't make fun of accent but you make fun of race like don't redeem ahh accent 😂😂
Indian Bangladesh sri lanka Pakistan sound same
Tbh people from different parts of India sound different so idk how that could be the case
@@Fantomstranger different language exist gujarti marathi punjabi tamil telugu

Bro im literally a black girl, i have it worse
You’re on a youtube channel called the brown experience and he’s talking about the brown experience, he’s not trying to say brown people have it the worst, just bringing light to brown issues
It's not a competition, the video's just trying to share and propagate experiences faced by our community
Nice Abbachio pfp tho
Don’t let them get to you
I'm sorry to hear that you feel you have it worse but I'd say don't let it get to you and if someone tries to judge you for how they speak then they just sound insecure themselves.
Victim card video 🎉🎉
Tell me you didn’t watch the video without telling me you didn’t watch the video
Ahh incel at its Job 😂😂😂
you're the real victim here bro. Helping me get more views. I appreciate you
I hope they're able to distinguish between Pakistanis and indians,there are alot of pakistani youtube tutorials aswell,imagine what Pakistani must feel when someone likes his content but gives away credit to country of india.
I doubt they will be able to tbh
Your credits and criticism are both directed towards India anyways, so rest assured
Bro why can't my comments are not visible?
Idk the comment filters are weird. Btw try dming me on IG again because I figured out why I couldn’t see your dm originally
