You may be getting fooled. Often supervisors and the better-trained call center workers receive special training to hide their accents. And they have found that a Southern accent is easier for them to pick up than a straight midwestern one. More than once I've had no idea I was talking to India until they said one key word completely wrong and gave themselves away.
