'Outsourced': NBC preps for post-Carell era with Indian 'Office'

I hate calling India each year to cancel my Big Brother 24/7 live feeds its such a hassle they don't understand me and I surely don't understand them so this new show I will pass on thank-you.

Talk about racist. Why do you think it's okay to make fun of Indian culture and the religions there and call it comedy? Not everyone needs to be americanized. NOT going to watch this show and neither should you. Making fun of people's names, turbans and head coverings? Not to mention that India isn't even portrayed properly. They don't have lunch tables like that in India where everyone sits together like they're in a high school cafeteria. Clearly no one producing the show even went to India to do the least bit of research.

well now i'm sad, because on the one hand i like the story and characters (i agree with madhuri as well) but on the other hand many of the jokes that were on that trailer were super racist. they were more uncomfortable than they were funny. i wish they could've left race out of it, because generally it is a funny concept. i may watch.. but i may not.

@Trixie- Lighten up. Go preach your morality to those that care. Comedy is comedy. If this was a documentary, I'd agree with you 100%. IT'S A FREAKIN SITCOM. Not only that, all the supporting actors are of Indian descent; you don't hear them complaining. You know why? BECAUSE THEY KNOW HOW TO LAUGH AT LIFE. You sound like a typical 20 year-old with moronic idealisms. Now go back to your little receptionist job at the ACLU.

There is no way anyone in my household will be alowed towatch this program. Why not outsource our American jobs to small town America where jobs are needed.

Actually, I found that more of the racism is directed at white Americans than at Indians from the promo, the white guy Todd sounds like the stereotypical ignorant American in a foreign land, constantly sicking his foot in his mouth, and the joke about the southern accent made southerners sound like hicks

HA. You people try so hard to be politically correct, it's sad. I myself am Indian and I thought it was hilarious. Most of their jokes are so true. I agree that some stereotypes are outdated, like arranged marriages and sacred cows. But other than that, it's a pretty accurate portrayal. I doubt any of you have ever been to India. Know what you're talking about before you make accusations like that.
