Every accent is different. Every accent needs effort to understand. The point is that Indian English isn't uniquely difficult. It doesn't have very many unique words, other than obvious ones (prepone) or quirks that are easy to understand (kindly do the needful). And yet, racist white people from around the world, even ESL speakers, will take delight in shitting on Indian English while putting in zero effort to understand it.
But if the same white people heard a fellow white person say "I'm going to pick up my ute in the arvo while eating a jaffle" they'll happily look that up and expand their vocabulary.

I'm saying people who have a problem with Indian English in particular are racist pricks.
Fuck these racist double standards and fuck anyone who defends it.
Good day to you though.
