Ryan Seacrest just interviewed the kids from "Slumdog Millionaire." It might have gone a little better if he prepped himself on their names first ... and knew they didn't all speak English.

Attractive, poised little kids. It's remarkable considering this is all new to them.

1. Not introducing the kids without even a half-hearted attempt to give the actors that small gesture of respect = FAIL of immense cultural insensitivity.
2. Holding up a piece of paper with small writing in order to show his audience the childrens' names = FAIL of immense stupidity.
3. Attempting to have the group shout their names out all together, at the same time, instead of allowing them to take turns introducing themselves = FAIL of immense ridiculousness and disrespect.
4. Although one child didn't speak English, the others did. In fact, their grasp of and use of the English language is likely much more proper than Seacrest could ever aspire for himself. To say "She speaks good English" = FAIL of immense ignorance.

Seacrest is a moron who should be fired. I hated him before because of how annoying he was...now he's an ignorant ass. Way to disrespect those kids multiple times in a span of 30 seconds.

Dear Indians/ Americans,
It is great insult for Indians. How dare the Americans can name the movie as Slumdog Millionaire for the movie based on Indian story? The word "Slumdog" really hurts. Somebody have an explanation, as the word "Dog" is not insulting. If you think it is fine to call the former United States President as "Bald-dog President" and the current one as "Black-dog President", Whoever leads the place where Hollywood located.. Please be considerate about others too. You can ask me, â Are you considering others?â. I will consider the people or a team who consider others. Call back the movieâ¦!
