The Instagram reels have been taken down apparently after realising how insensitive it was. Now what do we do with the people in pic 2 who felt it was just about right and echoed the same? pic.twitter.com/OZDX9dJxMl

Tambrahm humour is just belittling every other community for not being privileged enough. State board jokes, Mylapore jokes, English accent jokes the list goes on and on. https://t.co/DS4fQTWReg

தாய் மொழி அல்லாது வேற்றுமொழியில் நாம் பேசும்போது ஏற்படும் தவறு, இப்படி எள்ளிநகையாடும் விஷயம் அல்ல.

தமிழில் ரகுமான் தான்
தமிழில் பாண்ட் தான்
தமிழில் பப்ப்ஸ் தான்
தமிழில் தெர்மாகோல் தான்
தமிழில் ரப்பர் தான்.

ஆங்கிலத்தில் நம் மொழி டமில்., அப்போது மட்டும் தமிழ் என்று சொல்வார்கள். https://t.co/XdOfEnc7Pq
