American friend making fun of his Irish friend's accent, saying he sounds stupid, and needs to sound more "American-like", and pronounce things the way they do in that part of the USA, as long as he is there?

Irish friend should take no notice of american friend , and perhaps stick his two fingers up at him?
Just a suggestion.
Cheeky git . Needs a slap!

Yes, it is mean. Let the guy talk like he is used to. If the American friend went to Ireland, they would not expect him to talk Irish. The Irish accent is beautiful!!

Has your friend been across the United States? People talk different on the west coast and the east coast and in the southern states. What is english to him? Who is he to judge by the way a person talks. Sounds like he is jealous of this guys sexy accent.

Irish accents are the HOTTEST - so it's stupid! Why should anyone have to change their accent?!?!
Then again - mine changes all the time without me doing it lol... whoever I'm with ... my accent starts to copy theirs hehe it's annoying and seems kind of rude sometimes! Lol
Tell the guy to stick to the Irishness!

My friend (American) loves nothing but to hear the irish accent! She doesn't make fun of it. But if you mix with people commenting about your accent or the way you speak then you could kindly tell them that you do realise they speak differently but hey! They have their own accent if you have yours and vive la difference!

It's only mean if it hurts the feelings of the Irish friend. If it's being said as a joke and the Irish friend doesn't have a problem with it, then nobody else should care...

I think he's probably just jealous as most American women love an Irish accent.
And yes, it's mean. You shouldn't have to change everything about yourself due to your location on the planet. Let the man talk the way he talks.

yes i believe that is very mean because i said alot mean things before to ppl but i never sank that low and said that to anyone i think if i heard someone say that to someone and i was a witness i would say what i think of the person saying it and ijm sure it wont be nicething but any ways who every said that should rot in hell because that is so mean i mean come on if u were him would u fell horabale if someone said that to u i mean i thought americans were supose to be nice to others i thought that was the code of america but by hearing htat i guess i was rong o and acents tell wher ehtey r from and best of all they soud rly cool but u can not tell some one to change that when that describes them and it does not matter what they look or sound like it matters how friendly and nice and kid the r it does nottt matter how the sound...

I like to adapt my voice to whatever environmnet i am in. If i went to the states I would quickly shed my posh british accent a) because I like doing accents and b) because i wouldn't want american blokes taking the piss
Its like if i go to a country i buy the beer that is made there (eg Guinness in ireland, but don't drink it at home in UK).
