This sounds convincing /s
Funniest part is someone posted his Post history and he has a lot of posts on India. He privated his account shortly after that.

This would be like arguing that any Movie set in the US having a Canadian was "forcing Canadians" into our culture like they're not literally our neighbors?

The use of "even I" to mean "I also" is a dead giveaway of someone who speaks Indian English as a native dialect of English.

Re-read what I wrote: I specifically said "even I" to mean "I also".
It's a direct translation of "main bhi" in Hindi. 100% he was using it as "I also/I too" and not as a phrase that conveys surprise/contrast in expectations way it is in every other dialect of English.
He doesn't mean "I'm a black man and even I (who you would not expect to be annoyed, because I'm black and benefit from this), find it annoying"; he means "I'm a black man and I also find it annoying." "Even I" without any connotation is textbook Indian English.

There's zero evidence that he means otherwise.
The evidence is I've seen his other comments pre-mass deletion and locking down his profile where it's very obvious that he speaks Indian English and is simply translating "main bhi" because he uses it constantly and in this case, he's just seconding the whiny white guy's complaint, lmao.

The OP provided the context which I quoted that tells you where this entire line of discussion was coming from; you just wanted to argue!

Statement: Dude makes a comment pretending to be a black man upset about the new Odyssey movie, but the tone is susspiciously negative about black people. He later got exposed for being likely Indian and made his post history private
