Have you ever witnessed someone getting treated differently because of their accent? Would you judge a person based on their accent?

You know what drives me crazy along these lines? When it's someone for whom English is clearly a second language, and the person speaking to them either 1) uses an exaggerated loud and slow tone with them, or 2) goes into this weird condescending baby-talk mode with them, which is worse

Hm, there are people I do not like since they use their accent to make themselves distinct and superior and separate and want you to belief that people of their accent group are something special which is connected to their region, language and mindset. And they shove that by their language into every ear. I judge them to be people I do avoid.

Yeah, lots of times. Like I knew a person from Hong Kong and a lot of wads would slow-yell-talk at him after they heard his accent.

I do, but I think it's just Boston accents. Sorry, everybody.

Yes. It happens with southerners here in my country all the time. People think we're uneducated or bumpkins because of our accent

Yes. If they're new generation yet kept their accent gosh that's like we hate the language.

Yes, and no, bc a person doesn’t think with an accent. All that means is that they likely speak more languages than you.
