Right, so I just walked into the living room where my Girlfriend and her sister are watching Big Brother. "Big Brother" is telling the one who looks like Wolverine off for being racist, he says all he did was mimic the Indian Guy's accent, and that it's big brother being racist for saying that mimicking Indian accents is racist, when other people have mimicked Irish accents, and posh accents, and so on, and that apparently isn't racist.

So then, is speaking in an Indian accent racist? What about in say a Kenyan accent? or an Irish accent? Or a regional accent?

I'm on the PC while Lady Droman is watching it, there have been plenty of occasions where the others have had their accents mimicked. Yet they have had nothing said to them. Marcus was totally correct in his point and well done him for standing up for himself where others may not have.

Isn't it Channel 4 that also has Fonejacker? Which from what I've seen seems to be mostly just someone mimicking Asian and African accents.

Wouldn't it depend on the context, on what was being said and how?

Unless it's a Brummie accent, that's always funny no matter how offensive the content is.

It's only because of the emergent macro economies in Asia that the Jews wish to present a nice front through the media, before they take their gold.
