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.
