My general rule of thumb is if your parents dont speak like that, you are 110% cosplaying

I don’t know any Asian-Americans who speak like their parents. You see the shyt all the time at family-owned Asian restaurants where the older staff speak broken English with no cadence.

Most people speak like the friends they grew up with cuz they wanna fit in. If she had a valley girl accent I’d be under the same impression, whether or not it sounds ‘forced’ :ld:

........nothin southern about her....

And most Asians don't have a regional accent. Idl how they don't have one. It just sounds like a white person's neutral region voice. Weird.

Only Blacks, Whites and some Ethnic Latinos have regional accents
Asians = depends. If they're Vietnamese, Filipino etc., they will definitely have a hood accent if they grow up hood or country. Chinese/Korean/Japanese...not as much since most of them tend to be more upper middle class. Indians usually sound the most "white" if they grow up here. Like I cannot tell an ABCD vs a white voice on the phone.

Big city Blacks with education can sound pretty neutral sometimes but we usually code switch easily and have a certain timbre in our voice that codes as Black. Indians always seem to have higher pitched voices like young white people.

That's because most Asians:

1) Grew up abroad, or
2) Grew up in an enclosed sheltered community that didn't interact as much with other races, or
3) Grew up in an educated upper-class household that used a more neutral diction, or
4) Grew up around other people who were transplants not originally from that area, or
5) Learned to talk from their parents and family members, who were in one of the above four categories.


If you want to find an Asian with a regional accent, you have to find someone who has been there 2-3 generations or more AND whose family is integrated into the local dialect community, OR somone who bucks their parents and speaks differently from them OR someone who learned to speak English in America from people in the local dialect and was really good at picking it up. Which can happen, but isn't gonna be the norm.

I remember watching Jeopardy once and there was a Indian college professor from Texas....who spoke with a full-on Texas twang. Definitely wasn't faking either cause you ain't gonna maintain that ruse answering intellectual questions in a high-pressure time situation like that. He legit spoke like any multigenerational Texan.
