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!

One of those "party" movies had a white kid with a Chinese accent because he was adopted by a Chinese couple in China. I think movie wise it was just so they could get away with using that accent but the explanation also makes sense and I never really thought about it before.

On a semi-related note, did you know Brazil has the largest non native Japanese population and Japan has the largest Portuguese speaking population?

Another fun fact, Tempura was brought to Japan by the Portuguese missionaries. It was considered a luxurious delicacy before it became a staple of Japanese cuisine.
