    Easily a joke, good tell five or six seconds in. Even if the caucasian girls thought she was african or that hindu wasn't "the right path," I think they'd have good enough social instincts to not actually say it around the indian girl. They might have been mocking some conversation they overheard from someone else.

    If they had good enough social instincts to not saying it around the Indian girl, then why are they posting something like that for the world to see? Regardless of whether or not its a joke, you really have to be stupid to post something like that on the youtube or whatever...thats what leads me to think that they really are that dumb.

    Occidental refers to the Western/European culture btw, not Western Asia.

    How exactly is it fake? You do know different states in India have different accents? I hear hers all the time.

    That's legit dude, in some parts of the world. In England it's considered PC to call East Asians Orientals, and Indians Asians.

    it's the very classic "american-born indian fakes an indian accent" accent.

    And on top of that, like I said--she falls out of her accent at least 2 times during what I heard of the video...into a very American accent. She covers it well, but you'd hear it if you listened I think. Just 1 word at a time where she loses it and then pulls it back in

    Seems like the people that are saying its fake just don't want to admit that their race can be so ignorant at times

    If real, these girls are idiots.

    However, I'm 99% sure it's fake and just some teenagers trying to create a video that lots of people will watch/talk about/post on internet messages boards.

    I think it's working.

    what makes it seem like that? Maybe you have issues admitting things about your own race for some reason. Don't apply that to others just because it's in your head.

    I can make judgments purely on what an accent sounds like rather than having some ulterior motive.. it's really not that hard. Like I give a crap what some random person does on the internet..

    Maybe you judge an entire race based on a stupid online video. Me, not so much. So yeah, I couldn't care less what she does because obviously (to me) she doesn't represent an entire race

    The term is only really considered offensive to some who use American English and it is definitely not intended to be nor is it considered a slight by those who don't speak American English. As such, making the blanket statement that "oriental" is only a rug is not really accurate.

    Traditionally, yes, but when making these types of differentiations within Asia I've seen the designation used in that manner.

    I laughed when she said Indians are when an African and an Asian have a baby.
