[@johnromero6315]

I totally get it. I suppressed my southern accent at an early age. Even the child version of me thought all the hicks I grew up around sounded dumb as hell with the way they speak. Naturally, that extended to thinking that I also sounded stupid because I sounded just like them. Now the accent only gets out when I'm excited or surprised. As far as I can tell, it doesn't really have to do with media portrayals as much as the sheer concentration of anti-intellectual religious zealots in the Bible belt.

I grew up in Texas. People definitely assume bad about you when they hear you speak with a Texan or Southern accent. It never bothered me enough to make an effort to change the way I speak, but I've also never worked in a public facing job where it would be a problem.

Ocracoke Island in NC has this weird mix of Appalachian and Scottish accents. It threw me off the first time I heard it.

Coming from a Canadian, Kyle to me sounds like the epitome of an American when he talks. Especially when he says certain stuff with W. He says cool whip like Stewie in Family Guy. I typed this before I heard him say this! I knew it!!! LOL.

Acceptable discrimination happens to people who have a southern accent

[@snickle1980]

Yeah, you subconciously remove about twn IQ points off the bat. Its not intentional, but culturally...its a thing. I Wonder if that could ever be tied back to the civil war and how the norths victory set up the cultural narrative of the stupid southerner. Or perhaps theyre stupid!

My accent is Southern but a little different due to being Gulf Coastal. I refuse to change my natural accent. I would consider that completely disrespectful to my ancestors and family.

You know it's funny as the way Kyle pronounces "inbred" (in bread) you can totally hear the hillbilly he wasn't able to get out of his amalgamated accent. You can never ever totally erase where you came from but I do find it hilarious that it's real obvious on that word.

[@snickle1980]

[@Four20Kevin]

I moved to Connecticut from coastal Maine at 8yo(3rd grade) I was not aware I had an accent until school started up and all of a sudden ppl are mocking my accent. I made a huge effort to drop my Maine accent as quick as possible, but I am glad it happened because it made my speech much clearer and easy to understand compared to friends and family who never left Maine and therefore now have thick Maine accents.

[@clintjanes3784]

I moved to central Maine from Connecticut, they point out that I have an accent but because it's choppy being from east Hartford. I love the down East accent up here,. It's very welcoming and warming.

[@hardpack187]

Kyle still hits the H in wHy and wHat like a southern boy

[@TheForlornEidolon777]

Even though I am Texas born and raised, I have never had the stereotypical "Y'all" Texan dialect. Instead, I've always had that South Texas Hispanic accent, and apparently, it's quite strong. From time to time, I'd get comments and questions by fellow Americans on Xbox Live, asking where I was from, and what kind of accent I had. Mine is very Eva Longoria-esque.

[@ZachBroadus1992]

The Southern accent is very British that's why we use words like yonder and I myself and am mostly of English ancestory but my family has actually lived in the new world since the 1650s so way earlier that most who migrated to the South "Southeastern United States". I am from Georgia and Kyle is really talking about an unprofessional backwoods southern accent which isn't that bad but to each their own. Yankees don't sound necessarily proper either. The slow southern draw originally came from a parasite I think or something like that. So it wasn't natural to talk that slow and not everyone sounds like that especially today with modern medicine and clean water.

[@johnromero6315]

We did have a massive problem with hookworms in the past down here in the south, but I can't find anything that suggests that they're responsible for the typical southern drawl. They are responsible for the general idea that all southerners are dumb and lazy, though.

[@ASwagPecan]

lmao Kyle thinks he got rid of it

[@matthewackermanaski9687]

I'm Italian (born and raised in Italy, not someone from New Jersey), since i was a kid i trained myself to speak with an American accent (i can also do a british accent, but after going to the UK for years i started to dislike British culture a little bit) because i can't stand speaking English with an Italian accent. My biggest pet peeve is hearing an Italian speaking English, i just can't stand it. Most foreigners like that accent but i don't. When i hear an Italian speak with a thick accent it makes me think that I'm dealing with some ignorant peasant rube that lives in the countryside, that can't speak English at all. Call me smug or arrogant, but I've heard so much bad English that i just die inside when i hear it.

[@luckylarry3090]

Most Californians don't speak with an accent, only the dumb and teens speak with that "surfer" accent. We do say like too much though

[@wolowolo6179]

I would disagree. I think the Californian accent is seen as neutral due to our own cultural dominance. Being a media capital of the world, one of which only Bollywood and Hong Kong can rival is a huge deal. I've gone into the phonetic breakdowns of my own Californian accent and found qualities tide directly to my region 2 hours east of LA. For instance, with the word "Please", Most people within the direct vicinity of LA may go towards [pʰli:z. I found my pronunciation tends more to [pʰli:s which is something found in people sampled from the area. People south of LA towards Oceanside of been sample to pronounce it as pli:z. So our neutrality comes mostly from our LAs dominance in media, but the representation isn't as true as many might think.

[@luckylarry3090]

@@wolowolo6179 Dude I live in San Clemente and I've lived in LA when I was a kid amd the accident is the exact same besides the surfer types. I'm 10 mins away from oceanside.

[@SpicyAfterbirth]

You have it more than you know, one easy example would be how you naturally pronounce a minor t in a word like “Santa” youll say it as “Sanna” as in “Sanna Monica.” A less obvious one being “Huntington Beach” youll say it as “Hunnington.” Even further, the NorCal accent is differnet from the SoCal accent which is different from the Central Accent. Its also worth noting that you dont know you have an accent because the vast majority of people living in California, if theyre not immigrants, are born and raised in California and we all have the accent.

British people didn’t have the same accent they do now back in the day. When british first came to america their accents most closely resembles someone from New England, Rhode island. States like those two. If anything southern accents were shaped from French and Scottish accents.

It’s all about region. The Alabama/Georgia accent sounds trailer trash, but the real Texas southern accent has this mystique of power to it. Of manhood. I’m a Florida man so I have no accent but if I could pick I’d be talking just like Mark Callaway aka the undertaker. His Texas accent is perfect.
