That’s because they probably were born and raised in India. You seem to forget there is also a shoe group of India a born and raised in America and they don’t always have the stereotypical Indian accent.
the stereotypical Indian accent is like an Eastern bloc accent or a mid-Atlantic accent. No one talks like that exactly. Imagine thinking the Hungarian English accent is the same as the Polish English accent. Or that all southern US accents are the exact same. It's hacky, and doesn't remind a single Indian person of an Indian person they actually know, but some AI mishmash.
@@finkklover It’s not stereotypical. It’s if someone is an Indian native they will have an accent. Indians born in America won’t have an Indian accent. Indians born in Germany will have a German accent. Etc.
Living in India, having met way more Indians than you can ever think of from literally every region of India, let me give you some perspective. Accents differ in every state of india ranging from very light towards north, north east to the very thick stereotypical accent in some of the southern states. It all depends on their native language. Hundreds of languages are spoken across the country, states which have languages that enunciate every syllable really well tend to have thicker accents. Then again those who had good English education also tend to have much lighter accents in india. So no you can't put all indians into one stereotypical box. Your sample size is really small and biased, it's because people from the southern states are extremely intelligent and tend to get jobs abroad more than the rest, it just happens that they have thicker accents.
So your saying that every phone call telling me my extended warranty or Amazon account has a purchase I didn’t make… those guys are using a fake accent from India ? 😂

Holywood does have a specific accent for every country and culture and usually it is very "recognisable" but also, in reality it often turns out to be a fairly small portion of the culture/country who actually has that accent. Generally, the issue is that every British person in a Holywood movie has "The British Accent", Chinese people have "The Chinese Accent" and this goes for Filipino, Australian, Japanese, Indian, Scandinavian, Russian and every other possible "category".

Being an Indian and stayed in the states for 7 years and 2 other countries after that, believe me, most Indians HAVE to fake the INDIAN accent especially in the states because it seems that the 'whites' never understand when we talk in their own accent. When it comes to the 'blacks' in the states, they bloody get it right, every time! Being experienced this first hand, it's pretty clear that what this video depicts about the accent being stereotyped by the states, is 100% true. If we don't bring that accent into our tone, it almost feels like 'false advertising' to you whites out there. Let's stop this comment thread right here. Stop trying to spark hatred or negative comments man. Grow up you guys
@@leandershah1617 lmao what? False advertising? What are they advertising?

The thing about India is that it has many, many languages. More than the entirety of Europe. So yes, accent which based on Hindi and the languages close to it will be a gross generalization, especially seeing as this man is clearly South Indian, meaning his mother tongue most likely comes from the Dravidian language family which has almost nothing in common with Hindi.

There’s a difference between being Indian and having an Indian accent. An Indian accent is a real thing and people from India who speak English generally have an accent
Even English has two different accents bro what makes you think every Indian person is gonna have the exact same accent meanwhile speaking two completely different languages

The scam callers are in India. However not all Indians have that stereotypical accent. For example, actors like Aishwarya Rai or Priyanka Chopra among others. Hollywood did the same with Native Americans, and other Asians.
@@ms.waingz7197 Well, yeah? But personally I see the point as being that they act as if ‘Nobody, has *ever* talked like that, it’s a fake stereotype made by Hollywood,’ when people who have a thicker accent exist, and while yes they may not be as common as those who lack it, it’s not like they’re incorrect for portraying them as, well, existing

@@LegacyLoot yep, hell even in UA-cam there's tutorials of Indian people and their accent is thick, at the beginning I couldn't understand but you get used to it quickly
i assume there's a reason for it, most people studying abroad, especially in science come from parts of india who have heavy accent. Most of the indians dont have that heavy accent. Even normal indians who have not gone out of their small towns often have a good enunciation.
on a campus with international students, yes! they speak indian english and often are quite fluent, as they grew up learning english as well. but if they spoke american english in india, it would be much harder to be understood there. but ya, growing up with a lot of indians in my area, people speak very normal standard english. typically if u hear more of the indian english than american english, then ur prob in an area without an indian population and the people there are international students or workers. the problem really is this idea that the poc has to be a foreigner. they can’t just be an indian person who grew up here.

Well I don't see anything wrong with It, in fact I think Indian accent is far close to how it would spell when its written for words to words and its rather highly understandable than Japanese Engrisu, Russian or European English accent.
@self345 so what you're telling me is that when people of a certain race receive well paying jobs they become aggravated when their boss asks them to do that job…. Did I miss anything there?
But “the accent that’s so normalized” is actually true… it’s not just a stereotype, it’s okay. It’s very common for countries to have different English accents
Well, in many shows they show that Indians mispronounce words and then of course the accent. An accent is common, I agree with you but in shows, they exaggerate them and then everywhere you go people expect that you need help with English and have an exaggerated accent. Added to that people dont usually put on indian accents because they are hot, they mock them. One time I was randomly going through TV channels and then a channel came where the Indian character there is talking like that and making extreme errors when communicating in English. Its irritating, not to mention hurtful.
Not only that but if you come from different regions of India or speak different languages (eg hindi, telugu etc) then you are bound to have different accents when speaking English, but the Hollywood Indian accent is a broad sweeping generalisation to boot
@@rafaelclp I mean, I never denied there wasn't an accent, its just not exaggerated and it differentiates from people to people because of languages.

And also languages, I have a few south Indian friends and there accent is prety strong and the rest have a accent but its nothing like it.

Don’t think less of yourself, because of your accent, embrace it, just like Russians, Germans and many other Europeans do. Edit: I understand that not every zone in India has the same accent, every other country is just like that. Even the USA have lots of accents. Do you know how many Spanish accents are there? We all speak different and yes, when we talk English, our accent is different…. There’s nothing wrong with it. And its not a reason to be offended when the director ask an actor to do an accent. Thats the magic of acting, to pretend and bring life to a character. So if you’re an actor that feels offended when ask to interpret a character… well, you don’t have what is needed.
I guess fake accents only stand out to us because we know how we speak. For someone that doesn't, it's going to sound all the same 🤷🏾♀️ it sounds like mockery to us. We aren't ashamed of having accents, but there's thousands of languages here, it's literally impossible to have one standard accent...
Right? Ppl need to chill... its like a Puerto rican getting mad cuz someone jokes over most of them here in the states can't pronounce their "R's" or speak Spanish at all.
I have several friends from India and they all sound exactly like the “stereotype”. Nothing wrong with it, but it’s definitely how most speak after learning English. We all have accents!
I think the point is Indian Americans/Europeans are more often than not typecasted to do the accent as a oppose to a white person not being pushed to do a British, Scottish, or Italian accent when they make it clear they are from a diaspora as well i.e. The U.S. or Canada. There's a double standard. That's the problem.
@@sandyt7379 but they're playing a character, my g. If the character is an Indian immigrant, he's probably gonna sound a lot closer to the stereotypical one, and there's nothing wrong with that either.
Honestly I don't see why people need to put types of englishes on a pedestal and say one type is more "correct" than the other. It's not the accent that's bad it's the mocking reactions. If anything the english language with an accent is something people should be proud of, it represents the effort of learning a different language adapting around the different sounds learnt from their mother tongue.

Indo americans that grew up in America typically don’t have an accent. No doubt there are Indians that moved to America from India who do speak with heavy accents, but there are always those who have lived in America their whole lives, so it isn’t cool to retain these stereotypes. Don’t be stubborn and assume that every Indian you met in your life accounts for every single Indian that lives in your country.
Your mothertongue has an effect on your 2nd English. Indians who have English as their second language, speak it with a touch of the accent of their native language. So yes, not all indians sound like that. North indians who have hindi as their first language speak english in a different accent compared to a tamil people or kannad people. Same with north-east indians.
@@libertia actually it is exactly cool to still have that stereotype because most Indians in movies have not been in America for a hundred years. So you should be representing Indian immigrants. It's quite pretentious of you to think that you should still represent Indians when you've been here for at least three generations. You have no actual connection to India anymore. If you love America you should be calling yourself American and stop acting like you are able to represent people who actually have parents that left India or left India themselves. You just make it sound like you don't have any loyalties to America and you have more loyalties to India and that makes you a traitor. Either be American or be Indian but by the third generation you should be able to figure out which one you want you to be and represent.

Living in India, having met way more Indians than you can ever think of from literally every region of India, let me give you some perspective. Accents differ in every state of india ranging from very light towards north, north east to the very thick stereotypical accent in some of the southern states. It all depends on their native language. Hundreds of languages are spoken across the country, states which have languages that enunciate every syllable really well tend to have thicker accents. Then again those who had good English education also tend to have much lighter accents in india. So no you can't put all indians into one stereotypical box.
Your sample size is really small and biased, it's because people from the southern states are extremely intelligent and tend to get jobs abroad more than the rest, it just happens that they have thicker accents.

Holywood does have a specific accent for every country and culture and usually it is very "recognisable" but also, in reality it often turns out to be a fairly small portion of the culture/country who actually has that accent.
Generally, the issue is that every British person in a Holywood movie has "The British Accent", Chinese people have "The Chinese Accent" and this goes for Filipino, Australian, Japanese, Indian, Scandinavian, Russian and every other possible "category". It's a standardised comercial accent. Holywood does this. It is a stereotype.

Being an Indian and stayed in the states for 7 years and 2 other countries after that, believe me, most Indians HAVE to fake the INDIAN accent especially in the states because it seems that the 'whites' never understand when we talk in their own accent. When it comes to the 'blacks' in the states, they bloody get it right, every time!
Being experienced this first hand, it's pretty clear that what this video depicts about the accent being stereotyped by the states, is 100% true.

“Stereotypical”… bruh has obviously never been to a gas station
The thing about India is that it has many, many languages. More than the entirety of Europe. So yes, accent which based on Hindi and the languages close to it will be a gross generalization, especially seeing as this man is clearly South Indian, meaning his mother tongue most likely comes from the Dravidian language family which has almost nothing in common with Hindi.

@@LegacyLoot yep, hell even in UA-cam there's tutorials of Indian people and their accent is thick, at the beginning I couldn't understand but you get used to it quickly
Thats what I was thinking
i assume there's a reason for it, most people studying abroad, especially in science come from parts of india who have heavy accent. Most of the indians dont have that heavy accent. Even normal indians who have not gone out of their small towns often have a good enunciation.
on a campus with international students, yes! they speak indian english and often are quite fluent, as they grew up learning english as well. but if they spoke american english in india, it would be much harder to be understood there. but ya, growing up with a lot of indians in my area, people speak very normal standard english. typically if u hear more of the indian english than american english, then ur prob in an area without an indian population and the people there are international students or workers. the problem really is this idea that the poc has to be a foreigner. they can’t just be an indian person who grew up here.

Well I don't see anything wrong with It, in fact I think Indian accent is far close to how it would spell when its written for words to words and its rather highly understandable than Japanese Engrisu, Russian or European English accent.
@self345 so what you're telling me is that when people of a certain race receive well paying jobs they become aggravated when their boss asks them to do that job…. Did I miss anything there?
Yeah most I know have the accent and I'm used to it now. Very kind people and they introduced me to rose milk ❤️
But “the accent that’s so normalized” is actually true… it’s not just a stereotype, it’s okay. It’s very common for countries to have different English accents
Well, in many shows they show that Indians mispronounce words and then of course the accent. An accent is common, I agree with you but in shows, they exaggerate them and then everywhere you go people expect that you need help with English and have an exaggerated accent. Added to that people dont usually put on indian accents because they are hot, they mock them. One time I was randomly going through TV channels and then a channel came where the Indian character there is talking like that and making extreme errors when communicating in English. Its irritating, not to mention hurtful.
Not only that but if you come from different regions of India or speak different languages (eg hindi, telugu etc) then you are bound to have different accents when speaking English, but the Hollywood Indian accent is a broad sweeping generalisation to boot
@@rafaelclp I mean, I never denied there wasn't an accent, its just not exaggerated and it differentiates from people to people because of languages.

And also languages, I have a few south Indian friends and there accent is prety strong and the rest have a accent but its nothing like it.

I mean, but the majority of Indians that I talk to have a similar accent. Isn’t bad to have an accent, I have my own latino accent and I love it and I’m proud of it! Don’t think less of yourself, because of your accent, embrace it, just like Russians, Germans and many other Europeans do.
Edit:
I understand that not every zone in India has the same accent, every other country is just like that. Even the USA have lots of accents. Do you know how many Spanish accents are there? We all speak different and yes, when we talk English, our accent is different…. There’s nothing wrong with it. And its not a reason to be offended when the director ask an actor to do an accent. Thats the magic of acting, to pretend and bring life to a character. So if you’re an actor that feels offended when ask to interpret a character… well, you don’t have what is needed.
I guess fake accents only stand out to us because we know how we speak. For someone that doesn't, it's going to sound all the same 🤷🏾♀️ it sounds like mockery to us. We aren't ashamed of having accents, but there's thousands of languages here, it's literally impossible to have one standard accent...

Love accents really adds more depth to language as a whole and they can be fun to try and impersonate sometimes
I have several friends from India and they all sound exactly like the “stereotype”. Nothing wrong with it, but it’s definitely how most speak after learning English. We all have accents!
I think the point is Indian Americans/Europeans are more often than not typecasted to do the accent as a oppose to a white person not being pushed to do a British, Scottish, or Italian accent when they make it clear they are from a diaspora as well i.e. The U.S. or Canada.

Right. But not everyone who looks ethnic sounds it. That's the point.
@@sandyt7379 but they're playing a character, my g. If the character is an Indian immigrant, he's probably gonna sound a lot closer to the stereotypical one, and there's nothing wrong with that either.
I actually know about the 'indian accent" because of youtube tutorials and not from any Hollywood movies
"Do your your best impression of a scammer who's trying to convince you that they need $5000 in target gift cards so you don't go to jail."
Right here
Wow Sir, you win the comments! 🤣
🤣😭🤣😭🤣😭🤣
Forreal, it ain't hollywood, it's the indian scammers who do sound like that
Exactly. It's not Hollywood. All one needs to do is watch one scam bating video to know.
Honestly, as an Indian, I find the "Indian Accent" to be perfect Indian English. And the accent in which he spoke earlier as "American Accent".
Travel more. Even in India there are different accents. The way he did it was more from the Hindi north side of India
@@mukunda33 nah South also have strong d and t sound Plus i don't think there is a place where people speak in American accent
@@Chris-tl1kh Come here to North East.
Ok so I can still stereotype this accent then
Honestly I don't see why people need to put types of englishes on a pedestal and say one type is more "correct" than the other. It's not the accent that's bad it's the mocking reactions. If anything the english language with an accent is something people should be proud of, it represents the effort of learning a different language adapting around the different sounds learnt from their mother tongue.
All my Indian friends talk with the "indian accent" it has nothing to do with Hollywood.
Exactly
I used to know somebody from India and he had a strong Indian accent
I only know that “Indian accent” from scammers
lmao true
Omg so truuu
Hello sar I'm calling from Microsoft tech support your bank account is blocked. Please get me access to your computer so i can unblock it and give me your bank password.
The scammers are putting on that accent because that's what Hollywood has normalized. When they go home from scamming they sound completely American.
@@BigSirZebras Why would a scammer intentionally put on a foreign accent? Wouldn’t an American accent sound more legit to an American they’re trying to scam?
“Can you stop virtue signaling and do the damn accent”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Literally all third generation immigrants who have no real struggle in their life turn out like this 🤷♂️🤡🌎
@@AudioStep Bro fr 😹😹
,,,,,😂😎 broo
Fuckin thank you
The accent is real and there’s nothing wrong with it, it’s charming actually.
Its ugly
Its funny
@@mattc236 Accent can be ugly? What?
@@mattc236 How can an accent be ugly?
@@thesnackbandit just sounds like poor grammar generally, people with the accent that are english fluent sound nice
hey, just to let you know a youtuber named ian boggs copied this skit on his shorts channel :( i’m not sure if you’ve already seen it, but it got a lot of traction and i thought it would be relevant to share.
Whats the point in sharing that over here though?
Ok let's be real, most Indians DO have that "stereotypical accent", and there is literally nothing wrong with it. Although it is weird when people continuously make American actors put on a fake, very over exaggerated accent because idk I guess they think it's "funny".
Most Indians don't tho
Haven’t met a single one who doesn’t have that accent
@@Burbie Every 1st generation Indian immigrant sounds almost exactly like that.
The accent they do in Hollywood is inaccurate to the real life accent. It's caricaturized
If that is the roll someone is being hired for and they dont like it. Then they went get hired.
“Hollywood Normalized accent”
Ok, tell that to the numerous Indian’s that I’ve met in my life that spoke like that
I'm an Indian and honestly I agree with this lol, it’s not all Indians but Indians who have immigrated might sound like that tbh
Indo americans that grew up in America typically don’t have an accent. No doubt there are Indians that moved to America from India who do speak with heavy accents, but there are always those who have lived in America their whole lives, so it isn’t cool to retain these stereotypes. Don’t be stubborn and assume that every Indian you met in your life accounts for every single Indian that lives in your country.
That’s how my boss talk
Your mothertongue has an effect on your 2nd English. Indians who have English as their second language, speak it with a touch of the accent of their native language. So yes, not all indians sound like that. North indians who have hindi as their first language speak english in a different accent compared to a tamil people or kannad people. Same with north-east indians.
@@libertia actually it is exactly cool to still have that stereotype because most Indians in movies have not been in America for a hundred years. So you should be representing Indian immigrants.
It's quite pretentious of you to think that you should still represent Indians when you've been here for at least three generations. You have no actual connection to India anymore. If you love America you should be calling yourself American and stop acting like you are able to represent people who actually have parents that left India or left India themselves.
You just make it sound like you don't have any loyalties to America and you have more loyalties to India and that makes you a traitor. Either be American or be Indian but by the third generation you should be able to figure out which one you want you to be and represent.
"the stereotypical accent normalized by Hollywood" that accent is abundant in the South African Indian community so it's quite natural 😂 stereotypes are generally based on reality after all
I don't think there is anything to be ashamed about it.....the Russians have an accent,the British have an accent, the chinese have an accent while speaking English.....they are not ashamed about their accent....so why should we be....
@@072shananthakuria3 an accent basically portrays that you not (and will never be) a real English person. Some people though 🤦♀️... They desperately want to be British/American even though they're born in a different country! So what they do is they try to hide their accent to make it look like they're actually English people, so when they're accent is found out it's like they've been caught, ousted, like a fraud. So they become ashamed of their accent.
The thing about India is that it has many, many languages. More than the entirety of Europe. So yes, accent which based on Hindi and the languages close to it will be a gross generalization, especially seeing as this man is clearly South Indian, meaning his mother tongue most likely comes from the Dravidian language family which has almost nothing in common with Hindi.
@@xXJ4FARGAMERXx what are you talking about?
@@xXJ4FARGAMERXx well people from the same country could be shamed because they have specific accent from certain part of the country like Alabamians
It is actually not a stereotype that's how a normal average indian sounds like not exactly but almost
Hollywood?
Dell tech support: “are we nothing to you?”
Ik right. Hollywood normalised nothing. You can find the accent on any indian tutorial
@@merry6671 be it a tutorial related to tech, study tricks or a simple diy. All are made by Indian people 🤣🤣🤣😂
Correct. Hollywood my foot
Amazons Human Resource center aka ERC all Indian with accent and all I know cos I work for em
Agreed
The whole “Never Have I ever” accent explained in a min
I was thinking the same 😂
I was like I have heard this accent somewhere... definitely not in india 😂
literally
I can’t walk into a smoke shop without hearing that exact accent, it ain’t just Hollywood 😭 but everyone who’s primary language is anything but English is going to have an accent, personally I like them.
what if I told you people who's primary language is English also have accents. If you are able to speak then you automatically have an accent.
Everybody has an accent in English.
Americans have an accent. The English have an accent, the Welsh have an accent etc. Even if it's your only language, you speak English with an accent.
@@jordanjordannis2258 yes
Native english speakers have an accent too. Even the US has a number of accents, depending on the region. Its all about perspective
@@politereminder6284 theres no one single american accent. There are several american accents
This isn’t raunchy or edgy humor, it’s boring. Karen lives in his head rent free 😂
sure. but thats like saying "do the european accent."
there is no standard "european accent"
considering the various languages spoken...... is there? yet despite that all europeans might still sound the same to a foreign ear.
same logic could be applied to indians. Considering the linguistic diversity in india, there is no standard "indian accent" despite all of them sounding the same to us. I am currently touring india.
Anyhow,
take care and god bless you
how is it "stereotyped" when almost every indian i know sounds like that😭😭
It’s a stereotype for a reason. Enough people used/still do to act that way and bc it sounds different we focus on it more like a loud minority
Ehhh we don't sound like it.
Some of us do some of us dont... depends on if they had enough exposure to a foreign accent
I don't sound like that. I sound like Vir Das.
Yeah even news casters sounds like that, well idk if everyone sounds like that cuz India is big.
But from all Those Technology Videos i watch are mostly Indian and they in fact sounds like that
Anyone who has ever watched a coding tutorial: "stereotypical?"
PLS
too accurate lol
Or talked to IT/customer support/received a spam call
Yeah, one of the requirements for my coding job was to have an Indian accent so I had to go to my relatives in India to practice
I mean ur not wrong
"That Hollywood has normalized" tell that to all my uncles and their entire community
Ikr I’m not Indian but my friends parents that are Indian speak exactly like that
@@isaiahstonehouse I’m Indian but the guy who made this video made some shitty arguments
Fr 🤣 i feel like people like this dont know how languages work or why accents exist. It's just a byproduct of speaking a foreign language and then learning English, is not "racist"
“Hollywood normalized this fake accent!!!” -🤓☝️
@@isaiahstonehousedang idk where you live but my Indian friends parents have a pretty wild accent like a Dutch and Boston accent!
Well more like because of phone call scammers sound exactly the same
