Making a statement that implies that every single Indian defecates outdoors is a little racist. As someone who is actually Indian, only the poorest(which admittedly, do make up a significant % of the population) do this. And anyone who is qualified enough to work at a call centre definitely doesn't.

If I accuse all white Americans of having sex with their sisters, because some uneducated ones in rural southern US do so, won't you be offended?

Please. My joke was not the blanket statement you imply it was. If it offend you then I apologize, but maybe you should develop a thicker skin.

No, I would not be offended if you made a sex with your sister joke about Americans. Like I said in my previous post, I understand the difference between comedy and actual attitudes about serious problems.

And if the number of Americans having sister sex were anywhere close to the number of Indians who shit in public, I would be outraged and demanding we change our ways. Not accusing others of being racist for making jokes about it.

I actually find it more offensive that you are doing the best you can to minimize what is a pretty big problem in India. India floats dead bodies down the same rivers many drink from and have long refused to have indoor toilets for largely cultural reasons. Until the country better address those issues, sure, you can call me racist but maybe you should work on fixing your shit (pun intended) first.

Use cordless phones
When telemarketer calls answer and walk to toilet
Hold phone to toilet and flush

That costs you a trip to the toilet (and back), a 10 second wait, and 4 gallons of water. If I see "Unlisted number" on my cordless's display, I simply don't answer.

Lots of Asians have American first names so their names are like Mark Hoshikawa or Jim Ichitachi. But I guess many of them were born and raised in the U.S.. which is going off topic a bit. Ok...then why don't the parents change their last names to something American like Stanfield or Wilson? (end of insensitive remarks to stir up trouble)
My thinking is usually that if an Asian has an American sounding first name their accent will be distinctly American. However, if it's not, I don't hold it against them. When I get really annoyed with weird English accents is when I can't understand them, either because their accent is so horrific as to be incomprehensible or their English and/or comprehension of the topic is fractured or lacking to the point where it's clearly a waste of my time.

There's outsourced tech support people at my company and they always start their conversation with "Agent [some long ass number]". I don't care what your number is, tell me what you need from me and why you're calling. 99% of the time they got the wrong department. I feel bad for the customer that's on the line with them having to put up with them. They almost sound like robots.

Best is when they cold transfer customers to us, we are not even a customer facing department. I freaking hate this outsourcing business. Tech support is one of the first things a customer is going to end up at when they need help after you sold them a product. If you can't be bothered to provide decent service to them it tells a lot about how much you care after you sold them the product. I've worked at a skilled helpdesk (basically a help desk that will try to resolve the call rather than just take the info and pass it on) and it's incredible how happy the customers are when you can end the call and their problem is actually fixed. Sadly that concept seems to be very rare. It's all about outsourcing and pinching pennies so hard they split in half.
