You are just an ignorant, classless podonyara. Not every one from Russia had a luxury to come to US when they were 10 or 12. During this time, a non-native English speaker can loose the accent and converse in fluent English. If accents annoy you and some other people here, stop taking immigrants into US. If some of you tried to speak Russian, it would just provide for so much entertainment. Close the borders and be happy with your wonderful pronunciation.

I don't think you're weird or a racist, but you probably should take a look at your patience level. Having a conversation with someone who has an accent can be difficult and it takes patience and respect. Put yourself in their situation for a little while.
I like accents. Diversity is the spice of life, Baby!

Nope, I do love some foreign accents, but others I find really hard to understand and so I don't know what people are saying to me - that's awkward and embarrassing, and I feel like i'm being rude if they're talking and I haven't got a clue what they're on about! So I don't really like talking to people with foreign accents either!

I believe xenophobic is the term.
Do you mean you are frustrated when you don't understand someone speaking with an accent? Why not just admit your frustrations instead of turning it around as a flaw in someone else?

no accents can be frustrating sometimes when you can't understand what the person is saying and like most people you try to avoid the feeling of becomining frustrating i'm not saying avoid all people with accents forever but i do see where you're coming from

Some speak in other languages and accents on purpose to annoy people, therefore it's not racist or prejudice to not talk to annoying people.

some accents are sexy.. However, some can be very annoying when you can't understand what the heck they are saying!! I don't think it's racist you just want them to speak correctly so you can understand them!

You're not necessarily racist...more like insecured about yourself to not be able to understand foreign accents.
