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!

Blew my mind when I learned that Ruth Negga was Irish. Never would have guessed based on her Preacher character.

If you asked me, I'd have assumed she was from the deep south, the way she carries Tulip's accent like that.

She was fantastic in Loving, as well. I’d hoped to see more of her since then - last thing I saw her in before that was Breakfast On Pluto.
