Is it racist to request someone who speaks English better when calling customer service and you get an Indian with a super thick accent?
does this look like tumblr?
Nah you need to discourage those companies from hiring Indians.

No. Fuck any company that outsources a job where your only task is to speak to people and fill out forms to a country that doesn't share your language, let alone accent.

Even if they are based in the US and the customer service rep is just really soft voiced, there's nothing wrong with asking for a different rep
Asking for a different rep just because they are Indian, however, would be racist

how though theres a language barrier between the two of you the flow of communication is hindered greatly
If you are legitimately struggling to understand them, no. Why should you suffer through a pointless phone call that can't do you any good? If you can understand them and ask for someone else anyways, then yes.

With an accent thicker than a black girl's ass.
Who gives a fuck if it's racist? Are you going to sit there listening to somebody you can't understand because you're afraid people will think you're racist if you don't?
Modern society is fucked in the head.
