Such crude racism.

And it explains why Indian customer service agents always use European names. I don't want to come off as racist but sometimes I have been amused by a heavy Indian accent introducing themselves with a very traditional European name.

It shouldn't be funny, because it's all because of racism and imperialism and colonialism.

But I can't help being amused sometimes when I'm drunk. I shouldn't. But I have been.

Fuck racism.

Like, I am pretty sure this is what is happening. I don't have good proof, and my sample size is small, but the coincidence is stretched enough to be suspect. They claim that places like hospital, and other professional networks, get these because when they buy groups of phone numbers for their PBX systems, sometimes they were owned, or used by, scammers.
