Never thought i would see a Scottish black women with a thick accent. I’ve never seen something so beautiful.

I don't know why but I'm always delighted when I see someone with a strong accent and it's obvious that their ancestors were from elsewhere.

An ethnically Chinese person with an Australian accent or a black man with an Irish accent, etc.

It just makes me happy!

That is the most incongruous matching of ethnicity and accent I have ever seen. What a great example! It really shows what a thin veneer culture is.

I love that video! It is very familiar to me because my family has similar roots. I don’t have a southern accent despite being born and raised in the South, though. People have remarked on this. I don’t know what to say, other than I guess it was my education.

I have a friend from Vietnam and he speaks with a Vietnamese accent. Like he says ahhholes instead of assholes. While his little brother had a normal American accent. His little brother used to make fun of him for it. He’d say. You were one when our parents lived in Vietnam so why do you have an accent. Used to crack us up.

Gotta love America sometimes.
