Years ago one of my cousins was chasing money from a government department with which I had some dealings. He called one day asking for my assistance. His complaint was that everytime he called their enquiries number he was answered by the same lady with a very thick Indian accent that he simply could not understand. As happens these days, he prefaced his request for help with "I'm not a racist." Followed by "It's just that i can't understand a word she says!"
