About: Operator From India   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

A Race Trope, where phone calls are redirected to operators in territories of the former British Raj, most commonly India. The implication is that the operators have been outsourced by Western telecommunications companies. Expect the problems other English speakers encounter with Indian accents to be comedy fodder. Truth in Television, of course. A lot of Tech Support and call centers have been outsourced to India. Odds are within ten years, they'll have been sourced somewhere else (The Philippines are a common destination, on account of American colonialism there).
