We are talking about some FB application. There is no Caucasian there:JR8 wrote:Indians are caucasians.
a) Asian
b) Black
c) Chinese
d) Latino
e) White
what would an average FB user chose?
Also by the choice of the "races" it looks this appl was targeting US users. So what an average US FB user think about Indians that may fit this list?

Talking about Indians. I just remembered a funny episode a few years back. Our Indian GM and some of the other GM's were together for a strategy seminar. Over lunch I sit with the Australian GM and the Indian GM. We talk for 10-15 mins and the Aussie guy goes "I just have to say I love that accent of yours mate"... The Indian guy looks at him and replies: "What accent? We are 1 billion people speaking like this - you are 18 million people in Australia. Now, who has the funny accent"..... Priceless....x9200 wrote:We are talking about some FB application.

Another thing, since when was it a contest of who has more people speaking the same way. Everyone has an accent.
The Indian guy sounded like he'd get offended by the slightest things.
"A quokka is what would happen if there was an anime about kangaroos."
Yeah, he did take it as an offence and got a little hostile.... I do actually think the Aussie said: "I love that funny accent of yours", come to think of it. There was an awful lot of shaking his head from side to side going on at the same timenakatago wrote:WTF? Just from your story alone, the Aussie bloke did not say the accent was funny.Fortan wrote:

ah .. the Indian logic is as simple as somebody insisting the UK Minister speak in Hindi .. since India is not a Colony of GB anymore .. and .. while the Indians were fed English under the British rule, it is time the British learn Hindi now ..nakatago wrote: Another thing, since when was it a contest of who has more people speaking the same way.

Be scared, be very very scared .. (yes, with a billion people at their disposal, many things could be demanded ..)

Majority there speak one language, so the minority .. well, is there a minority ??

The majority wins .. so case closed.
PS: No offence to anybody from India .. it's just idle banter ..
