    Apropos of nothing. I had a non-white US friend with *no* foreign accent who'd get "praise" on how "slight" hers was—from people who never heard my real one. Before thinking I get a different reaction because of framing or being conciliatory: try listening with your eyes closed.

        It's pretty amazing after all this time and all this, and I regularly get that "compliment." Maybe, uh, it's something else?

        To be fair I complement people from Louisiana when they speak English well and I can understand them. Ironically, at the age of 50 I still carry an accent from living in New Zealand for 10 years when I was a child. And I was born in Pittsburgh.

        I grew up in Alabama and when lived in CA for a couple years people refused to believe I was actually from Alabama. They think the whole state is the trailer park they saw on COPS.
