NBC is set to air a show about Indian companies, called "Outsourced". Its content is hilarious and subsequently a kind of racist program. Watch this trailer first and what you feel of it? Click here.
According to NBC's official description, the set-in-India workplace series "centers on the all-American company Mid America Novelties whose call center has suddenly been outsourced to India and a manager, played by Ben Rappaport, is being transferred to India to run the operation.” Supposedly, the socio-economic aspects of exporting American jobs to India are not expected to be front and center story-wise. Instead, the series is billed as “the Midwest meets the exotic East in a hilarious culture clash”.
When you watch this preview, you can see first the call center manager drinks coffee in a toilet closet shaped mug. What these Americans thinks? Indians are eating their shit and drinking what they piss ? It's really cruel to show like this. If they don't like Indians, just leave it. It's harassing in some other way. Second, when the introduce session, miss-pronouncing the name of "Manmeit", on the contrary, they too miss-pronounce his name as Toad ( character name is Todd). Another session, when he spells the letters, the caller suspecting the call reached to India and shouting over the phone to agent. This guy says, it's not India, but in Detroit and it's the place of black people. Again taking it as a racist act.
What do you think, if a show like this aired in India and by making a American or American company as a comedy object? Of course, they won't be sit relax and enjoy it. It will spread all over the medias and Obama may ask India to stop showing such things. If not stopping, they may raise obstruction against India, until they seize this show. That means, they can do anything against others, but others can't do. It's hilarious.
There are lot of anti-India movements in America now. These kind of shows just boost them up. Some shows, just take it as fun but why don't they think out of the box or think from the other side? Will they take it as just fun only, if any other nation do such things? They won't. With the name of anti-terrorism, these Americans done a body scanning of ex-Indian president, which shouldn't be allowed at all. But they crossed all the limits and done those things. I read some interesting quotes from Americans that, those days parents tell if you are not eating " Look at Asian countries, there are lot of people starving for food. Don't waste and eat". Now-a-days these parents tells "if you don't study, Indians will take over you". They are still fearing Indians because with the knowledge, ability and many other things Indians are best than anybody. So the fear about them had started. But it shouldn't be destroyed by using these kind of cheap shows.
Whatever they do, nothing will affect the business of India, as God with them. But, it is shameful to the Indian community those are working and living in America to silently support these kind of shows. I am not knowing the law side of these things. But they must have the right to object against these kind of things. They are not doing it; so it ashamed. There are lot of comments are going around about this show. Most are saying extremely offensive. But none taking any finger movement to stop this. Too bad.
