You don't think you're racist, but let's pick a few choice phrases from your first reply to point out the obvious, shall we?

i laughed at scammers because they usually some guy or girl from India who tries to sounds American 😂 which it seems impossible for them because their accents always gives them alway no matter how hard they try not to sound like the 7/11 quick mark indian or Hindu

yes i do laugh when the scammer do call trying to scam me by trying to get my information because they have tried to scam me so many times for the last 5 years on any of my phone numbers which has help me to recognize who they are, and its true when it comes to USA phone numbers the 98% to even 100% of the times when you get a phone call in the US from someone trying to scam your personal information, 100% of the time will be someone from india and thats is a fact, i never had any other type of people calling me trying to scam me but just indian, who has been the only one who has try too, and because of that i lern to understand and recognize who are the one calling me to try to scam my personal info, and yes if they are calling an American number they will try their best to sound like an american because they are calling an American number, obviously !
first of all no government or bank establishment will never call you, specially to ask for your personal info, that is the first hint that is a scammer and that is a fact,
second 95% of any government or any bank establishment in the US that handle customer service will never hired someone that talk with a thick non natural american accent for customer service, that is a fact because that is how they run those type establishment in the US, so if the person calling your usa number for your personal info has a thick accent is a second hint that person is a scammer which is a fact,

"7/11 quick mart Indian or Hindu"? You do realise that your spouting a stereotype and not an "innocent observation"? You do realise laughing at someone for "trying to sound American" is bigoted at the very least?

i and up laughing at them and insulting them back with their own accent and making fun of the their accents which make them more bad and makes me laugh its just fun

You do realise mocking someone's accent is pretty racist? It would be better to learn a few choice insults in the Hindi language.

do you realize that the people who im talking about are the scammers and not some common person right ??
which means that who im laughing about and insulting. and making fun of the accent just to make them mad, are the scammers, who is someone who want to scam you, someone who will call you to steal all your personal info, to then steal all your hard earned money,
basically who im making fun of is not a normal regular person, is someone who think im stupid, who doesn't care about me or how hard i work for my hard earn money,
someone who chose and who is willing to ruin my life, your life and anybody life no matter what, because he or she don't want to work an honest job like you or me,
do you understand that the reason why i find it fun to laugh about and i end up insult them is because is a scammer who will call to try to insult your intelligence just take you money or you life info, just to get what they want from you by taking it, do you know at the end day they will definitely laugh about you once they get what they wanted,
answer this question why you can't understand or realize the reason why im saying what im saying, why you can't understand or you don't want to understand that who im talking about is about a scumbag scammer, who will call you thinking you ain't shit tell me why you can't understand the point which it never was about being raices and dont got anything to do about being raices,

Then again, instead of stooping to racism and ignorance and insults, how's about simply hanging up the phone, blocking the number, and not wasting your time and energy on any scammer when that time can be better spent making music? Life's too short to waste on mocking scammers.

when i do make fun and laugh plus insult a scammer, it do becomes a great inspiration and motivation to do music, because they couldnt take what its mine, making me a winner on that bottle, which is agreat source of inspiration without a doubt !

Scamming isn't about race, it's definitely not, but your post is all about race, and is definitely racist.

my comment its not raíces, because all im saying is that 98% of the people who has tried to scam me through a phone calls for over 5 yeats has been indian or Hindu, so why is that raices or got to do with being raices when its the truth, im just talking about my experience with scammers and what i did to make them understand that they can't scam me, plus making fun of the accent was to make them bad for trying to scam me, i have an accent too when i talk english, but anyway im definitely not a racist, never was never been and never will be a racist because thats not my nature and never will be my nature, the problem with you is that you can't comprehend the comment or the the message i wrote which doesn't give you the right to judge who i am because you definitely don't know who i am

All of that sounds racist to me. Not to mention your assumptions about the religion of scammers.

assumptions about religion 😂 bro do you know how to read ? yes i understand my english its bad and it sucks because im Puerto Rican and spanish is my main language, but where in the comments im talking about a religion you must be blind or you can't read or simply when you are reading you not comprehending the point of the comments🤷🏻, because how did you assume im talking about religion 🤦🏻 plus where in the comments im being racist 🤔 both of you are some funny guys, you two definitely should become best friends, because ya seems alike, but anyway i already say that im not racist because im definitely not even if you think so from your assumption, which got to do from you not being able to comprehend what i was talking about, but anyway your miss understanding didn't bother me, because at the end of the day what matters to me its that i know who i am and what im not, and as long that me and my self know who i am and what im not it’s what counts and matters to me, you think i do care what you and the other one thinks about me ? well no !
the reason i do answer back to you and the other guy was to let you two know, that what you two are assuming is the wrong thing, but if you can understand that, well its all good i ain't mad atcha, you can have your opinion which at the of the day it doesn't matter to me, because thats not the case of my nature, plus at the end of the day you ain't nothing to me but some words with some wrong assumption about me and my personal view of life, so just keep assuming whatever you want if that makes you happy, because i will keep going on my road happily ever after with no problems, because i definitely know who i am !

You can double-down as much as you like, but you should give consideration that two people have now pointed out your racist attitude. Some self-evaluation wouldn’t go amiss here.

I can assure you there’s more but people don’t want to get sucked into battles that clearly cannot be won.

Sorry - I got it wrong about the term Hindu (thank you for the education)...I've learned to recognise my mistakes and apologise where I may have caused offence...

Yours was an honest mistake. And at least you were humble enough to apologise. Cheers mate.

Thing is, it wasn't really a mistake. This Wikipedia article was referring to archaic usage of the word. In today's world if a person says they are Hindu, it is generally referring to religion. Or at a minimum, being culturally identified with the Hindu religious traditions, in the way that many Europeans are culturally Christian, even if they don't believe in God, don't go to church etc. It certainly can't be conflated with Indian, as India is a country which also has a lot of Muslims, some Christians, Jews etc - and probably even a few scientologists 👻. If you called an Indian Muslim a Hindu, just because they come from India, I don't think they'd take kindly to it in most cases. The original post in discussion here certainly wasn't well-informed, to say the least. Doubling down wasn't the best move.

Thanks Gav - that's kind of my original interpretation of the term - Hindu as a state of faith rather than a geopolitical state. However, it was very early this morning when I posted and before my first coffee so I wasn't confident in my statement and felt it best not to fan the flames...

It might be worth noting that the language or ethnicity of the persons calling is in no way connected to the origin of the scam or other campaign.

Call-center labor is inexpensive in India. Legitimate and illegitimate businesses outsource to firms in low cost regions to reduce expenses. For all anyone knows, the origin of the campaign could be anywhere - Russia, Arkansas USA, China, ...

Also worth noting - the person actually making the call is just a person trying to make a living, probably working long hours, and for very little pay. They're not the ones causing the annoyance in your life, but the firm behind it.

I try to be respectful of the person calling. I try to interrupt at the first opportunity and explain that I'm sorry but I don't accept any solicitations over the phone and (most importantly) "can you please remove me from your call list".

Now robocalls are another matter. Those are just plain evil.

I just hope you don’t get mugged, then have to give a description to the police, in the perpetrators defence you may have also have given them an alibi.

Addendum if the original thread isn’t to be derailed there’s this place for such discussions,

Ah okay. Thanks for letting me know mate. I'm sorry for getting confused. 😅

And now it seems SLP has tripled down. 😂 Oh dear.

If you want to stay current on various scams or learn more about how a scammer may be trying to work you, check our r/scams on Reddit. Especially useful if you don’t already have a finely tuned BS meter or a natural tendency to view most situations as too good to be true.

I like getting spam phone calls, especially the ones where the robot voice with one name transfers to the live person with a script after my responses don’t make sense. Then I go full distressed old lady on the live person, asking where person #1 has gone and acting like person #1 is two hours late picking me up to take me to my doctor’s appointment. I can get pathetically old lady upset with this for as long as they stay on the line.

It’s manipulative, but I like hearing the scammer start getting genuinely concerned about some fictitious person who is unscammable and in need. I hope it makes then slightly more human as they go into their next phone calls.

This is Sadhguru's opinion, and he has his own agendas, mostly revolving around getting as much money from his followers as possible while stoking his ego. The guy is an absolute asshat - just my opinion!

he may have his own agenda when it comes about getting money if thats is the case,
but what he said about Hinduism are actually the facts, so there is no agenda there, any Indian or hindu which by the way can derived from the same meaning, (people from India)
will actually say the same thing about Hinduism and agree with Sadhguru "opinion" confirming it as the facts of Hinduism, because that is what it is

you both are some ignorant clowns, the worst one is @jwmmakerofmusic because you just proved that you just a puppet control by your puppeteer mate, 🤣😂 which mean you not a leader to your own thoughts, you basically love to open up your puppet hand hole to ride someone else handles, i guess you just love your puppet hand hole to be handled because you like to get fingerd or fist pump with a EDM pattern😄
anways how old is you, apparently you still the same kid that love to follow the "leader" just to feel appreciated in a group 😂, its time to grow up mate, but again someone who its born to be a sock will always love to get some foot in the hole 😄 which is definitely and clearly your case,
and the otherone @NoncompliantBryant he just a hater who love to hate without a rational reason, because he never felt appreciated and loved at home growing up 🥺 poor thing 😢 but anyhow you need to understand already that you too old for that, so its time to realize that if noone has care to love you as a person in all your life years on this earth, to at least just love your self, which probably will help you to live a happy life on this last moments on the road, because it probably will help you to stop hating people that you don't even know 🤷

anyway hopefully you and your puppet can have great day, because i do wish you two the best, because you and your foot sock actually need it, so God bless you two
