On another note priya is annoying. The one solace is you don't have to see anyone when you leave.
I disagree having lived in another country (5+ different countries actually) for several years. Also, there is no singular "Indian acent". Indians all speak differently depending on if they are from South/North/West/East.
And the one thng that is mocked the most is our physical mannerism..the head-bobbing etc. But let's face it, more often than not its in good fun. like we make fun of the hand-gestres of Italians.
If you are truly getting a bad treatment in whatever country you are living in, I would instead pray for you and wish you would change such mocking friends :)
For most Indians under the age of 30, English is pretty much a 1st language having been the mode of study and conversation. So gone are the days where people can "smash" us. On the other hand people like Priya or even Diggy (who said she has an accent as she lsitens to english songs 😕😆) deserve the mocking due to their pretentiousness.
