I'm mexican american 26 years old and have been judged and discriminated by foreigners and Americans just because i cannot do a perfect american accent. And i've lived here all my life but i'm just not a talker, the only people i 've talked to is my parents having had almost no friends ever, thats why my accent stuck since i was a kid. And i feel so bad when americans will not consider my english is good enough. however, i went to a therapist she said my accent in english is perfect. Well whatever, but i still feel like Americans will judge me and discriminate me... so recently i just started speaking with a fake kind of Indian accent..OR a very thick mexican accent.. It's fun and it gives me more confidence, i don't know why but it does. Is this good to do?
