about 20 chinese who i speak to, have said i'm not american because i dont' sound "AMERICAN", "you're english is not fluent". I have spanish(hispanic parents) accent but i was born in usa. And i don't like to make an New york, california or whatever accent even if i can.. i like to speak with my accent, so why these people and Even American white people or black who do use "american" accents, why do they criticize me so much and discriminate just because of this. The asians i talk to always differentiate between white americans who are supposedly "REal americans" and people like me who are according to them "immigrants living in america"..I'm fed up with them.. i thought only 1 or 5 of them would discriminate me but i talked to like 30 or more and they all say this. So , i could never be an English teacher in Japan or China right? Because i'm not considered american by them
