I was thinking the same thing - especially about the accents. I missed the "milk" comment; it probably went over my head. And I didn't find the belly dancers offensive, either.
OAN, my office (is in a building that) has 20-something floors. The 3rd floor houses the IT department (about 100 ppl). With the exception of about 10 people - mostly Black - that entire floor is Indian. There are two Indians on my floor, and both of them work in one of our software groups. If you call the IT department, you are routed to a queue which is staffed by IT employees all across the country. No matter what office you get, 9x out of 10, you're gonna get an Indian. Any time you see an Indian on the elevator, you can pretty much bet your lunch he's gonna push "3" because in my company, almost ALL the Indians work in IT.
*shrug*
I'm willing to bet that's pretty much the same experience most who work in Corp America have.
Yeah, My company's IT dept is about 50% indian, but they are in another state (and they recently outsourced a few jobs to Bangalore India.) When I call the Indian People in the US I can understand most of what they say (and they sound like the people in the commercial), but when I call the people in india I dont understand nuthin they say, there's a huge language barrier. Now if the people in the commercial sounded like them, then I'd say that they were stereotyping.
I guess its weird because we just about never see Indian people on TV and in Movies
On the flip side, The Pastor I play for is Indian, born in NY, he talks like a white guy, lol. I wonder if he'd be offended.
I knew that no I didn't yep......just joking'.....heh heh
Could be that I'm more sensitive ....?
lol
Yeah I think thats it. Especially compared to me.
It would be like having countrified black folks sitting there talking about watermelon and fried chicken and then breakin' out into a huck-a-buck.
Have you not seen any of Tyler Perry's works?
