I met an Indian guy (from India, not Native American) in a hotel gym in Dubai a couple of years back. He spoke with an Irish brogue.

I asked him about that as he did not have a typical Indian accent at all, and if you closed your eyes, you would swear that he was an Irishman.

He said that he was a member of the minority Catholic community in India and attended Catholic schools where all Catholics spoke with an Irish accent.

It was very interesting.

Interesting indeed.

Also, hearing a black British man speaking English is a reminder to those racist liberals that skin color does not determine the intelligence of a person.

I found it interesting that you can get around easier in today’s Vietnam with English than you can in Thailand. I also noted that Vietnam’s English seems to be more like that of American English while those you do meet in Thailand that speak English speak more of a British English.
