Another person who jumps up to call out a so called "racist" This is the most "overused" and "misused" word in the English language. Political correctness gone mad! It is ok to call a white person "white" but not to call a black person "black" without being called a racist. I am still looking for the rainbow sheep, which must really confuse little children. Most of the scam calls (but not all) that I get are from Asians and Indians, except for Nicole. So call me a racist if you will for telling it like it is. I am not saying that there are not as many other nationalities with scammers, there probably are, but why should I lie about this to please you and others like you, so that I will not be called a "racist" I am simply stating the facts as they are in my experience. Another fact you may not like is that, very rarely do Asians and Indians have Australian sounding names, unless they are second or third generation living in Australia, and then they usually have Australian accents to go along with it. This is common knowledge.
Oh man, sorry to say it but it sounds like you've never actually interacted with a socially progressive person at all, just believed all the scaremongering about them.
You'll notice, at least, that you did indeed call black people black and no one's called it out as racist, lol. If you actually speak - or at least listen - to POC, you'll often find that they don't really mind it at all, some of them even prefer it to terms that were trying to be sensitive but completely misunderstand their identity (eg African American).
The question to ask here, in regards to the actual thread topic, I suppose, is - does conveying the assumed nationality of a person based on how their accent sounds, help identify scammers?
If yes, how?
If no, what's the point of including it?
