There’s a part of me that thinks maybe the mockery of Indian accents in the mainstream (that could impact all SAs) and how SA manhood is perceived means they can’t fully introduce their language into MLE like the Black population

This is just a London thing where Caribbean culture has the heaviest influence, it’s not exclusive to South Asian men it’s all races as there’s such a heavy influence in the MLE accent - up north where there’s a heavy South Asian influence you have white boys saying Marshallah!!!

yes yes yes because it's the same in the states. when non-black men want to appear masculine or threatening, they start emulating Black men.

Could say the same for alot of black youths using words from the arabic language like wallahi or akhiii etc…… but i guess thats ok. The creator is just waffling for the sake of waffling

Black Caribbean culture is the dominant culture in London especially when it comes to language so most people who grow up here unconsciously just develop those words or style of speaking it’s not that deep

This is also to do with the the fact Afro Caribbean and South Asian migration patterns were intrinsically linked and occurred at the same time. There’s a big genre of reggae-Punjabi music and fusion of the two. Paul Gilroy noted this in the black Atlantic

I feel like so much of culture, esp “popular” culture that’s not just tea and crumpets in the UK, is pioneered by black folk so when it comes to adopting a “british culture” they default to exactly what you’re pointing to.

In Canada they do this too. I’ve noticed it among South Asian men and women as well but a lesser extent

I can't explain it, but I feel this equation couldn't be accurately solved without interrogating the Jay Sean era 🤔

I agree, south Asian men have been constantly humiliated in western media/many have had a loss of identity as our accents/food/even features have always been mocked in other countries. They arent taken seriously even when represented. British Asian men in the spotlight often speak on our culture in the same way as the west which just reinforces the cycle.

Well have you seen south Asian mens idea of masculinity?

Perhaps because masculinity in SA culture is starkly different to western culture. Men who are friends in SA countries will hold hands/have their arm around their friend platonically etc

why doesn't it happen the other way? cos Asian languages are completely different. an English speaker can understand some patois, but they can't understand any Punjabi or Urdu.

it also happens in online spaces, part of why i deleted X was because of the amount of times people would use Somali words out of context in relation to football memes it’s genuinely uncomfortable 🥴

because elder Caribbeans already spoke English when they came to England, so the language was easier to blend. Many elder SA’s didn’t
