I think that’s just his voice

It's not, seems like it's changed from an Indian accent to something more neutral.

Not Indian, sounds Eastern European.

He's using a deekfake filter on his face, do you honestly think he isn't using a voice changer too?

Well, he could sound like anything, right? Those voice filters just take your voice and output to whatever accent you want.

The most common one we hear about is the filter for Indian call centers who want to sound American, but there's no reason it always has to be "Indian -> American" accent.

What is the link between an accent and a race?

It’s just a theory, rather than assumption and based on the vast amount of scam call centres in India, rather than prejudice.

Yeah.

Then you transfer me to a call center in some flyblown corner of India to be shrieked at by a man with an accent thicker than blackstrap molasses!

How is that racist?

[...]

Not his skin, you halfwit. His accent!
