  • The only acceptable accent in America is European or West African accent. The truth is, if you have a thick Arab, Hindu, Asian or Hispanic accent, you'll get discriminated against.

  • I know this vid is old but ^.^.. Fuckin bitch who the fuck do u think u r .-. this vid is fkin racist I have a small Spanish accent & im proud of it cuz i speak Spanish which gave me more opportunities to find a job because i'm bilingual.. I really don't have any problems with my accent everybody understands me perfectly & i dont think theres a problem in having a different type of accent.. Cuz that makes me unique & not just another fkin american (no offence *.*). Yea bitch in yer face .-.

  • @ijoMon that is the most racist thing i have ever heard but you are so fucking right. but still this video is racist shit lol

  • @ijoMon Howbout You ENGLISH SPEAKERS try speaking our Asian language! That's right! you will get discriminated! >:P I know you're talking about "IN AMERICAN" but same goes for ASIA! :P

  • I fucking hate this, but true. Though illegal... i was not given a job because of my accent.

  • ijonMon: Yes you are right!

    

  • @ijoMon yes, it's sad but kinda true...

  • Totally desagree,Iam hispanic and I'v worked with natives speakers,and never ever felt descriminate because my accent,I have accent no thick accent and believe me americans they love my accent,you want me to prove me?and on face book,msn I invite you to listen to me. cheers

  • Her eyes/eyebrows and gestures are distracting.. is this on purpose?

  • @ijoMon Anyone in the US with a thick accent,including Americans,will be turned down in favor of someone who speaks clearly.When you speak a language poorly you have no right to expect to be taken seriously.East Asians/Indians have prospered in the US because we trust them.Discrimination against them is rare.Hispanics rarely bother to learn English when they come to the US-therefore they lose out.Europeans with strong accents are not accepted either,they get lousy jobs if they don't speak well.

  • "Senior management tells me that the most important thing is to be understood... so no matter how well you speak english... you gotta lose your foreign accent" = CRAP lol
