I'm not sure you're aware, but "Paki" is considered to be a racist slur... You might want to consider that when talking about people from the Middle East or Asia...
"'Paki' is a shortened moniker referring to people of Pakistani descent, similar to Yank for American or Aussie for Australian.[1][2] It is considered a highly pejorative racial slur primarily in the United Kingdom and Canada."

As to your question, I have no idea if you can "demand to speak with an native English speaker", rules may even change depending on what company you're dealing with...
Something to also keep in mind, the nationality and/or ability to speak fluent English does not make one more or less likely to end up dealing with someone who might hack your system. If you open your device up to anyone else, you open yourself up to being hacked, by anyone, regardless of their nationality. Speaking to someone who speaks fluent English just means that you'll understand the hacker better when you talk to them.
Also, assuming your typewriter(?) was hacked (I'm not entirely sure how one "hacks" a typewriter) I hope you reported the incident to the company so that they would be aware of the problem.
The best advice would be to deal with reputable, highly rated companies and never give out personal information to anyone over the phone unless you can 100% verify that you know who you're talking to, which is rare.
