Racist Voiceover
a voiceover recording technique used in doc-mentaries on a&e and the history channel, in which the voiceover artist imitates the presumed foreign accent of the on-screen person whose words he or she is simultaneously translating. this is racist as well as demeaning and insulting to the person depicted, as much as to the voiceover artist.
1. it -ssumes that the person speaking would only speak english with a thick “foreign” accent if he or she spoke english at all.
2. it -ssumes that the viewer, besides being too dumb to read subt-tles, is also too dumb to guess the nationality or ethnic origin of the speaker.
3. it -ssumes that the language spoken is so exotic no english-speaking translator could be found to translate it.
4. it tends to show all foreigners (i.e. non-english speaking individuals) as quaint and ignorant.
i was actually enjoying that doc-mentary until they started with the racist voiceover.
