"I bet it smells like curry" is such a funny insult to me because of how stupid it is. I grew up in rural Minnesota, and somehow ended up becoming friends with a Moroccan kid who lived in an apartment building with a lot of other African, Middle Eastern, and South Asian immigrants. It was my first real exposure to non-American or non-European cooking. The smell was striking, but what I learned was that when cooking smells that intensely , its gonna be the best damn food you've eaten all month. Even if my poor white midwestern palate couldn't cope with the seasoning at first. Guys that toss out "I bet it smell like curry" as an insult don't know how good curry can be

[@Ziad3195]

As an Egyptian, this comment warms my heart. The Tweets he quoted were literally by Neo-Nazis also. One was called "Aryanautist1488" and the other had "1488"in their name too. In Nazi ideology, the term "Aryan" is used to describe the racial group the Nazjs considered the most superior, "pure", advanced and the "master race". And they are people of Northern Eruopean descent. The number 1488 is a symbol used by White nationalists and neo-Nazis. It is a combination of two parts: "14", refers to the "14 Words," a slogan popularized by white nationalist David Lane, which says: “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for White children.” and "88", which represents HH, the 8th letter of the alphabet. "HH" stands for Heil Hitler. Neo-Nazism and general nationalism have been on the rise, and neo-Nazis are no longer considered fringe or underrepresented, partly due to platforms like Elon Musk's X, which supports freedom of speech. This has led to X becoming the new 4Chan basically. However, Elon Musk recently rolled out an update explicitly stating that hate groups, including National Socialists (Nazis), are not allowed. The update also introduced a new option to report "hate groups." but their presence is still strong even after the update.

[@perhapsyes2493]

My answer is: It's just plain exposure. We (as humans) fear the unknown. When someone speaks like us but is entirely like us, it freaks us out. That experience can go into interest - "Oh, a foreigner is speaking my language! Cool!" - ... or they go into darker places., of which we need no more reminders of in this world. The more we are exposed to different kinds of 'us', the more it is rationalized in ours minds that this is just another form of us. The more we are exposed we start to realize that they're not really that different from us. Not much weirder than that one odd uncle/aunt most know ;) and they are humans, right? Which should make 'them' part of 'us'. My big question is: Will we be racist against aliens? (As in, "ET" etc). I fear we would.

[@uriu3193]

I mean of fucking course we would be racist against aliens, if they somehow exist and if we somehow encounter them. I mean come on! We are racist among ourselves for a whole range of things. A lot have phds in it

[@adorp]

It isn't fear of unknown. Russian English sounds way more off than Indian English, but people find it cool. The African English accent they used in Black Panther is also cool. Almost all exotic English accents are considered cool. It is a bit objectifying, but still not degrading. Indian English simply lacks that nature. English pronunciation is like cursive writing. You need to give it a flavour. But Indians, too used to their phonetic alphabet and simplified pronunciations, simply don't get it. If you study Indian literature, you will see that many poets discarded Hindi in favour of Urdu, which is more flavoured than Hindi. Hindi sounds too mundane, and when that accent is applied to English, it leads to similar issues. It isn't a racism thing. Of course, there are hundreds of languages in India other than Hindi. But Hindi is the language of majority, and that created the stereotype.

[@Thecannibalfrombeyond]

@@adorpsheer stupid comment, the accent which many tend to despise, have more of its base in southern India. Ever heard of Tamilian speaking English, that’s the stereotype or epitome of degradation when people try to put on an exaggerated Indian accent. British accent is also classic in its nature, though I surely don’t say that Hindi might not be mundane to you, but much of its parts can be colourful.

I am also a South Indian bro... and I have indeed faced racism in my life... It may be to your surprise but the hate that I received was mostly from other Indians than foreigners... Especially from the North Indians. We only started to become aware of racism when it is done to us by foreigners... The Caste based discrimination is still causing an intense amount harm to our country and people bro... And this so called "benefits" that you speak of is ironically generating more hate towards the lower caste Indians than solving the actual caste based discrimination. Heck we don't need these benefits in the first place if we had a strong economy and better law enforcement to prevent and punish caste based hate crimes and killings... What's even worse is that when Indians go abroad... instead of adopting and assimilating with the foreign culture, we still hold on to our rotting caste based biases and discrimination towards other Indians... While I agree that we must expose and address the racism we are receiving globally, we should also take this opportunity to have some self reflection about our rotting biases and hatred towards each other.

[@thatdumbguy2621]

this is really good, im indian too and it takes people a bit to get used to the accent

[@shushunk00]

Kavernacle channel's clip u used at the initial part of the video has released a 2nd video bc he has faced "criticism" for his anti racist video on the racist people who were racist against indians.

[@altinfinity]

wow

[@sloth57]

holy shi- bro took off, well not so surprised since the quality of videos are soo good.

[@fortheloveofsanity_]

Brilliantly presented video. I have been struggling a lot with accents as I learnt english through various accents. And, thank you for providing a link to Dr. Lawson's research, That might help me. You gained a loyal subscriber. ☺

[@altinfinity]

Great to hear!

[@jennies3rdpetdog527]

It's really not about accent ,its just a reason for them to hate . Why do Koreans and Japanese never get hate for their low bare minimum english pronunciation?

[@altinfinity]

There’s an example in the first few minutes of the video of the Japanese accent stereotyping.

[@PK-se2jh]

Online discrimination against Indian has grown sharply but I keep seeing Indians themselves trying to justify it somehow

[@Pomoyka1448]

At this point I don't need Minecraft to find diamons

[@altinfinity]

lmao

[@zungaloca]

I love my indian coworker from Chennai smart dude and always willing to help, but it took me a while to understand him even now I struggle

[@prajwalmeshram32]

great integration of ad in a video, legit watched the entire ad read

[@sierrad.7654]

I love hearing people’s different accents, with AI voices everywhere hearing real people talk is so much better and less predictable, makes life more interesting

[@shrinidhijoshi595]

This is my first video of yours! Firstly the best ad plugins I have ever watched. And secondly such an underrated video! Definitely looking forward for more of your work ❤

[@altinfinity]

Glad you liked it!

[@hemangchauhan2864]

Dr Lawson was really good at showing those differences. Incredible work by her and you! And, we all could use some humor these days.

[@Silversubs29078]

His voice is honestly so nice and calming, haters are probably just jobless or jealous😊

[@Tushii]

Extremely high production quality

[@Emilieistaken]

Amazing video yet again, im blown away by the quality

[@altinfinity]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@FREEEDOOOMM]

Brother, you make great quality videos. you deserve more subscribers for your wonderful work.

[@altinfinity]

I appreciate that!

[@sinner3117]

Internet had made ppl too comfortable to disrespect others and not get punched in face

[@refreshedog4860]

*not

[@adityanavgire]

Badhiya content , you just earned yourself a new sub ❤

[@altinfinity]

Shukriya

[@IITJEEAspirant2025-fj6hj]

Man this channel is a gem thought you must have a couple lakh subscribers but surprised to see a couple thousands! Loved great quality , great research and you got a sub man ❤ ! ~Love from India

[@HarpinderTalks]

Only 8.52k subscribers and still the quality of the videos is insane. Nice work bro 👍

[@VamshiOhgs]

As a fellow Indian creator I can understand the annoyance of such comments. I don't even have a strong "Indian" accent in my videos but there are people who still find it so difficult that they can't comprehend what I am saying. I can understand that it can be tough to discern certain words but entire sentences is something that baffles me.

[@archivez101]

You do have a strong accent though

[@karanvasudeva5424]

So, just to clarify, our T (e.g. टाइम) sounds like a D (डाइम) because we produce it without aspiration (ठाइम) ?

[@karanvasudeva5424]

Of course there'd be other differences as mentioned earlier in the video (e.g. we use the tip of the tongue). Great video btw, subscribed.

[@MohammedAli-hl4mr]

Yeah we have a four way sound distinction between two way sound distinction

[@vatsalj7535]

Yeah , the lack of aspiration makes it sound like a D to native English speakers because they typically associate lack of aspiration with voiced stops

[@PastelEarth]

Hardly ever comment on videos but commenting for the algorithm. Thanks for a super interesting and thought provoking vid!

[@yuktapotaraju6880]

Aaa! I'm so glad to come across this channel through this video in particular! I am a South Indian, and there is this stereotype about us not being able to properly say "h" sound in words like thought and thank you (and the letter "h" itself). Gaaah it annoyed me to the point that I self therapized myself in speech, and that kind of backfiring me and worsened my accent whenever I spoke any south Indian language. Thank you for the affirmation that accent is mine and makes who I am. I loved the video from start to finish, and man I was expecting lakhs of subs! The recommendation algo kinda sucks i agree, but lemme grab my "I was here from the start of it all" badge before your channel blows up! Love you guys' work! Keep it up!

[@MaryAnnSweetAngel]

I am too sensitive so you have no idea how upset and angry i get when people are mean to me because of my indian accent. I already have depression so it makes it worse to cope with this. The comments about the smell has been once of the reasons I have OCD. I also have a lisp so i got made fun of even by other indians for it. also is it weird I recognised the voice to be AI immediately?

[@championof7seas294]

I hope you are doing well, ignore the haters and try to make people smile. I see you love dogs, me too

[@A_T492]

Indians dying to get approval for everything from west. But soon realising their real thoughts about India and then getting disappointed

[@vishwajeetdahale882]

2 minute's in and i am surprised how well made this video is the production quality is very high i would be surprised if you are doing all of this on your own *instant subscribe* looking forward for more videos like this !

[@batatamafroom]

Fantastic work. Big fan of the documentary level production and clever sponsor integration ;)

[@altinfinity]

Thank you

[@Tejoshmoy]

Awesome video bro. For the next ones, maybe crank up the volume a bit. New sub :)

[@altinfinity]

Still figuring out sound, hopefully we get better at it sooner than later.

[@nocapstoast]

dang u are actually underrated man, i hope u grow more because this is quality content and deserves a lot more

[@abhaykumarsingh7081]

The quality of the video is bloody amazing! Earned a sub! The potential is insane!

[@altinfinity]

Much appreciated!

[@painlesskun3959]

I will say, Your voice with your accent is pretty calming and I could understand every word you spoke! A clearly well-spoken person you are! Thanks to the team for such a delicious meal, Subbed for more!

[@criticalscythus369]

This video advertised a sponsor in the most creative way possible! Cheers!

[@audiofile8311]

You are going to be big man, very high quality content

[@jenm1]

I find it to be both a racist and classist thing. Generally, anyone who was/is oppressed is "un-understandable" and fair game to be made fun of. So your choice of white accents that other white people make fun of or can't understand is pretty apt. It's ignorance. It's okay to not understand someone but you need to check yourself as to why. Are you even trying? I'm American and I don't have a problem understanding a fairly standard Scottish accent and I'm not the smartest or linguistically inclined person. Same with east Asian and south-east Asian accents. I really think people are narrow minded and can't even fathom someone might say things differently. I know this is a very gentle take away from your broader message but thought I'd highlight it as well

[@sid451]

This is genuinely so good buddy.... I would pay to watch this!!!

[@Emilieistaken]

Love your video but i would change the title maybe to s more scientific one because it is very informative and more than just that ❤

[@altinfinity]

I do agree with that, unfortunately my channel manager doesn't lol

[@krusttyyyy]

Your voice never fails to calm me. And the quality? Top notched and well-researched. There's nothing that screams "I have no life" louder than people who take the time out to spread hate online. I have never once seen a person who's geniunely content with their lives hating on others.

[@schnitzel_enjoyer]

Bro made a whole research video on accent because somebody called his accent funny.

[@hlwfps]

टी डी are t and d for pronunciation but we like to pronounce t and d as ट ड

[@vansh.vardhanjha]

Good video. Nice shirt. 😂 It is one of those "you don't know what you don't know" type topics. Good research!

[@altinfinity]

shukriya mere bhai

[@triadgaming3323]

The quality is sooo good, so crisp and professional

[@ratsalad178]

loved watching this, subscribed! a bit of feedback if you're open to it: it would help a lot if volume across the video were normalised; i had to increase and decrease my phone volume quite often to hear your voiceover, whereas Dr Lawson was relatively loud

[@altinfinity]

Sound is my worst enemy. I try but I don't do very well with sound unfortunately. Will keep trying though.
