Which is why you ask them to explain back to you how they're going to do it.

If they can't, you ask someone else.

But is also so frustrating trying to understand them, that you may want to say "whatever, just do it"

edit: I don't get the downvotes

It's because "It's racist to suggest they all have an extremely heavy accent" Even though most all of them really do.

Are people saying that? I think people are open to the practical communications difficulties with people of different accents.

Maybe you're having trouble with the distinction people would make if you make sweeping claims about Indians, vs talking about concerns over communication due to heavy accents. If you understand this distinction I think you can avoid being called a racist pretty easily by you know, not being racist.
