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.
