3:44 Making fun of accents-particularly when done by someone from the same ethnic or cultural background-can reinforce stereotypes about certain accents or dialects being less "sophisticated" or "funny." When this is done on a white-dominated platform, it may send a message that the actor is playing into stereotypes to appeal to a broader, often non-ethnic audience. For some, it can feel like "performing" one’s ethnicity for laughs, which can be a form of self-stereotyping. This could be seen as pure performative assimilation because they are adjusting their behavior and humor to align with the dominant culture's expectations, potentially at the expense of their own cultural identity or that of others with similar backgrounds. This kind of humor often serves to distance the individual from their heritage, seeking approval or relatability from the mainstream (often white) audience by conforming to what that audience might find funny or "acceptable."
@@kwabotwe147 In settings where a minority individual is vastly outnumbered by white peers (such as this hypothetical show), they might feel a need to diminish aspects of their identity to be seen as "one of the group." Mocking their own culture, or an accent associated with their heritage, is a way of signalling, "I’m not like them; I'm more like you." Joking about an Indian accent (or any stereotyped trait) in front of an audience that doesn't share that background risks cementing narrow, caricatured views of a culture. For a white audience, it can confirm or validate existing stereotypes about Indians or Pakistanis, making them seem like a source of humour rather than understanding. Many people from immigrant backgrounds grapple with a "fragmented" identity-part of them aligns with their cultural heritage, while another part aligns with the culture of their birth country. In spaces where they’re minorities, this tension can heighten, leading to moments of assimilation that may not align with their personal values but feel necessary to fit in. The scenario highlights how minority individuals, particularly in entertainment, may use performative assimilation-playing into stereotypes to gain acceptance in spaces dominated by the majority. While it may provide short-term social or professional benefits, it often reinforces negative stereotypes and can contribute to identity fragmentation, making it harder to express authentic selfhood in these environments.

A great talent and presence in any film or TV show. He has incredible range. He was in Nightcrawler, but was also Lena Duham's fly by night love interest in Girls. Highly underappreciated.
I have always noticed the similarity between Indian and Welsh accents. Pleased to note others hear it too 😅 Love Riz in the Sound of Metal. Had never seen his acting before, he speaks intelligently too.
@@sherinjohn001 He's not someone who you'll generally see in mainstream stuff (outside of his Star Wars appearance) but he's most certainly still working on great stuff. The Night Of as mentioned in this clip remains one of my favourite limited series TV shows of the past decade. Riz was also excellent in The Sound Of Metal for which he was Oscar nominated a couple of years ago. He then won an Oscar for the short film The Long Goodbye in 2022. He's going to be in the next Alejandro Innaritu film with Tom Cruise and John Goodman, will star as Hamlet in a modern adaptation alongside Timothy Spall, Art Malik and Morfydd Clark and also has a part in the next Wes Anderson film with Tom Hanks and Scarlett Johansson. He's plenty busy!
Seeing in the comment sir name Schumer makes sense why she was trying to play her zio part and putting Riz down the look he gave and Ross was like we know exactly what your playing at so give it up
Love you Riz from Australia 👏🏼❤️🇵🇸
Talented, well spoken and incredibly handsome. He handled her comments well and out-shined all of them.

Riz has got such an incredible body of work.. he’s so versatile. Def should have won more awards/accolades for Sound of Metal
That movie was incredible and he did that role very well.
It’s so interesting that every Asian on a talk show gets asked about their parents views on their careers. Just a thought
Because of the stereo types.
It’s because of knowledge of Asian parents expectations on their kids career. Same reason they asked anyone who is a first generation American or UK . Everyone knows immigrant parents want their kids to be lawyers or doctors
I know it can be flipped and seen as a negative thing, but Asians are highly family oriented. Some people would kill to have parents who care that much. Mine didn't even know (or care) when I got into university lol

Probably most quick witted person to be hosted by Jonathan Ross.
That's exactly what I was thinking - very quick with the comebacks!
I'm Welsh, and I've definitely heard this comparison in the past too. I'm not sure where, but it's very true, there's a fine line between the two.
Why did i read this comment in my best gavin stacey accent 😅
It's very similar, i noticed it for the first time as an Indian person listening to an Audible book set in Wales.
Same with certain South African accents as well.
Eddie Izzard does that. He says flatten Welsh Accent you get Indian Accent.
@@neelisham1538 something to do with Welsh missionaries teaching English in Indian schools in the 1700s and 1800s I think
