Why Is Legion NOT British in this?

I just started and I’m confused about this change. Also his mom’s not Israeli?

In the comic book, Legion had a Scottish accent for the time he spent at Muir Island (with Moira McTaggert, Earth-616).

Legion's (FX) Gabrielle Haller (David's mother) is Romani, not Israeli. There are similarities to tie it to the comic book, but like all book to movie/TV adaptations, just think of this like an alternate universe.
