RACIST: what's your accent?
PRIYANKA: um... indian.
RACIST: you were born speaking english?

She's really f*cking beautiful.

It's not even racist.

Nnnnnnnnn, Priyanka should've clocked her and said "I couldn't speak any damn language when I was born."

She wasn't surprised she could speak English well, she was curious if English was her first language/if she was born speaking it.

Assuming she'd have an accent because she's Indian is racist. They call it a stereotype.

I'm taking it you don't know what Fox News is.

A lot of Americans can't speak two languages. It impresses us when other people can

lolololololol

Besides all that stuff, are you guys skipping the part that Pryinka said that Machu Pichu is in Brazil?

But she does have an accent?

She didn't assume though, she asked her what type of accent it was and got her answer...

This isn't even racist, you guys stay doing the most on Fox News. She kindly asked what her accent was.

You three have got to be kidding. The hosts introduced Priyanka as an Indian actress so it's more than obvious she's from India and has an Indian accent (yes, she has one). The reporter was genuinely surprised that Priyanka could speak English well because she was under the assumption (like most people) that Indians speak broken English with some heavy accent like Apu from the Simpsons. Anyone with a functioning brain would use logic and realize that she's a celebrity, not a working class person from a village, so she had access to education. This is no different from that shop assistant telling Oprah that she should go for the cheaper products because she didn't realize it was Oprah and assumed she couldn't afford the more expensive things. Do you think that's racist?

I wouldn't be surprised if you're defending the host because you were surprised because Priyanka speaks English well too.

I wouldn't outright say her response is an automatic signifier that the reporter is some huge racist, but it definitely made her look very uneducated and unresearched (in typical Fox News fashion, tbh) to have responded how she did. And i absolutely see how it could be offensive.

I don't think anyone actually thinks that the reporter is a Stormfront member calling for all non-whites in the US to be deported. This is what most racists are like nowadays. It's implicit and passive-aggressive. A lot of them don't even realize it just like all these members claiming her question is normal when it's definitely not. I doubt Priyanka is asked "what's your accent?" or "you grew up speaking English?" when she does interviews in Hong Kong or South Africa.
