There are Christians in India and Eugene is a Christian name so I don't see why it wouldn't make sense for an Indian person to be named Eugene.

There are many regions with christian Indians. I know a lot of people from Kannada that have white names. One is named Matthew for example.

At the place I work, we have a tech support center. We inform people with accents to chose a more english name, as americans are mostly racist, and have a tendency to be rude to anyone who is not obviously english speaking. As sad as I thought this was, it is found to be true.

They have tech support for male escorts?

Indian CSR: "Hello! How may help you?"
Customer: "Umm, my male escort is too tall, and I ordered a gay man and he's straight."
Indian CSR: "Uhh...I need to speak to supervisor to verify some information. Hold please"

What you think that only Americans have reserved names like that and nobody else can use them?
You are being pretty ignorant IMO.

And you're being a tool IMO.

The point of my thread isn't that his name is Eugene. And it's safe to ASSUME that his name ISN'T Eugene. Just like the woman before him probably wasn't named Alice.

13.5? Hell, I don't even know a white-boy named Eugene.

Something you hope you never hear spoken in an Indian accent:

Hello my name is cletus, how may I help you?

Regardless of the point of your thread, to say that there isn't anyone in India named Eugene is ignorant and simply not true. If you'd like to bring across your point, don't do it with false racial generalisations.
