How they recruit at Indian call centres:
Mujibar was trying to get a job in India.

The Personnel Manager said, 'Mujibar, you have passed all the tests, except one. Unless you pass it you cannot qualify for this job.'

Mujibar said, 'I am ready.'

The manager said, 'Make a sentence using the words Yellow, Pink and Green.'

Mujibar thought for a few minutes and said, 'Mister Manager, I am ready.'

The manager said, 'Go ahead.'
Mujibar said, 'The telephone goes green, green, and I pink it up, and say, yellow, this is Mujibar.'

Mujibar now works as a technician at a call center for computer problems. No doubt you have spoken to him.

Interesting
Are jokes based on foreigners' English skills/accent inherently racist? Discuss.

Exhibit 1:

Q: What time did the Chinese man go to the dentist?
A: Tooth hurty!

Exhibit 2:

Q: Why do so many Chinese live in North-West London?
A: Because when they get in the taxi at Heathrow they exclaim "Harrow, driver!".

oh yes
Little did anyone from Newcastle/Liverpool (etc.) know it was racism all along.

Even though an accent is not a race.

Anyway I clicked 'I like this' because you didn't and because I was amused. That makes me extra racist or something similar I bet.

I guess you mean 'racism'
I guess if you read it in that way it is. However, I've told this joke to many people of various ethnicities and get a smile every time...

It's more of a stereotyping of phone centre monkeys in my opinion (like that's worth anything).

I laughed too...
so I'm in the same boat, I still can't see how mimicking an accent is racist?? I'm always doing Brummy/Scouse/Scottish/Irish and never get shown the racist card....?

Fuck it, this is the interweb!
