Hey fellas, Let's Socialize,
You know what is so ironic and hilarious ? Indians making fun of other Indians. For instance accents, its hilarious when an Indian is trying so hard to hide the accent to make fun of other Indians'. Non-Indians say, Indians think they don't have the Indian accent, which offends most of us. But they are not wrong. We do have an accent. May be when you improve your english you might not have a thick accent but still we show a hint.
I don't know why it is offensive. I've never seen Mexicans, Chinese, Japanese etc., trying to hide their accent. But some Indians are soooo concerned about having a non-Indian accent. According to me if your english is good or if you can communicate to another human in english (when you are away from home), thats it, there is nothing more to worry about.
Not just the accent even having a different life style and culture bothers some of us some much that we are confused which ones to choose.
So that is what happens inside India. Now, outside India there are two many different types of Indians.
A. Indians who were born and brought up by INDIAN PARENTS in an english speaking country,
B. Indians who moved there few years back,
C. Indians who just moved few months back as a student and
D. Indians who are visiting for a few months of contractual work.
Some in every category I mentioned above think each other as people from different race and different land. It is very rare that the people from these categories make inter-category friends. It is not rocket science that Indians from these categories have different accents and culture. But speaking for some of us, I think that makes a huge difference doesn't it ?
Now, (A) act confused. Some act as if they have no idea what India is and its just a word they use when someone asks where are you parents from. I am not accusing everyone but if you wanna see some proof, you don't have to go there, just watch some youtube channels and vine videos the (A) type Indians make. They know one type of comedy for sure - MAKING FUN OF INDIANS. I understand the fact that you have a different passport but why offend your own race ? I think its a defense mechanism. Mock before being mocked ?
I don't want to mention the names of the offensive Indian youtube and vine "stars".
Although I want to mention a really positive youtube star Lily AKA Superwoman. Go check her channel out. She is cool. She makes fun of Indians too but you ll see the difference.
(B) are the calm ones. They know they tried to merge into a different part of the world that isn't home. They made a new home they are happy that they succeeded. May be thats why they never try to become something or have the time to judge others. You can actually never find these type of Indians around, cos they are busy reaching the Level 100 of Tourism even though they have been there for years. I find them interesting. They seek adventure in foreign land hahaha !
(C) are hard workers. They try so hard to try to put a camouflage on them so that no one should recognize them as Indians. (Guys there is something called 'sight'). The first thing some of em try to do is create a group of Indians around them so they can try together. They see another Indian on the street, they pretend they will make sure they don't make eye contact or smile for courtesy. "Run forest Run, there is some stranger from your country".
And this is my opinion, these guys are the most racist people you will ever see. But sly though. They "mock" every race including their own.
(D) are always on an adrenaline rush. Most of them don't try to hide their accents (which is good) but they do one thing for sure, judge every one from A, B and C. They find them as bad Indians. My observation and opinion is, they want to get merged with A, B and C but they will never accept the fact that they want to. And most importantly they always want to share their advice to every Indian they meet outside India. By advice I mean "Change yourself, you are from India. Don't act like western person". They think they are the only proud Indians outside India representing Indian culture.
Ok, by now some of you might have thought that I am a hypocrite offending Indians, but no, all I am trying to say is BE THE INDIAN YOU ARE. Don't worry about your accent if you can't change it. Don't change your life style if you don't like it.
Note the word 'some' I have mentioned everywhere above, meaning I am not generalizing the entire mass.
Case temporarily closed.

What will I be talking about in here on Let's Socialize ?
I will talk about the socially active and socially awkward topics.
I don't know why it is offensive. I've never seen Mexicans, Chinese, Japanese etc., trying to hide their accent. But some Indians are soooo concerned about having a non-Indian accent. According to me if your english is good or if you can communicate to another human in english (when you are away from home), thats it, there is nothing more to worry about.
