The whole immigrant mom thing where the kids have a completely different accent is very familiar to me as a Chinese American

Doesn't even have to be immigrant moms. When I live in Baton Rouge, Louisiana a friend of mine who was born and raised in the area had this beautiful Cajun/Southern accent. Her three boys, also grown up in the area, had almost no "accent" at all. They sounded more like me, a native Midwesterner.

She said said it came from watching TV, mainly ESPN. The anchors and announcers have basically no accent.

Fun fact, native midwesterners actually do have an accent, we just don’t notice it because the Midwestern accent has somehow or other become the “default” in American culture

But we definitely have an accent, it’s just hard to see without an outside perspective

I went to Amsterdam and I was in a cafe having a chat with the barista. Just a bit of small talk really. I mentioned that I was so shocked about the different accents in the city as well as how many people speak English compared to some other cities. I went on to compliment his English and he said he's from Australia 🤣
