SO yeah - accents.

Who's to say what's racist and what's not. What offends one person, won't affect another and blah, blah, blah...

I really suck at accents - even my own default Australian accent is shite. People keep thinking I'm from England (where exactly?) because they reckon I sound posh, but truly - my voice sounds like a mix between Jimi Hendrix, Kermit the Frog and a head trauma patient....

jajajajaja, ñero is like saying "dude", it doesn't denote regionality.

No. I mimic people's accents all the time and have never offended anyone. But there have been situations where I've seen people mimic offensively. You have to have a sense of appropriateness. If in doubt, don't do it.

✌➬ · 07.29.2008, 09:48 PM

I still hate that word.

Everyneurotic · 07.29.2008, 10:22 PM

i do too, synth, i do too.

In treatment we couldn't say

"OHHHHH, WHAA HAPPPEEEN???"

Because it was offensive to asian people apparently.

Also I have been watching episodes of Father Ted which has temporarily made all posts read here by me in an Irish accent.

Even my own. Jesus, Mary....

I think it's ok if you're like recreating a scene that you witnessed. But if you're doing it to be racist then it is.

I've been making fun of a Scottish girl in my class all week, but really I just think it's fucking awesome. "Yeh dinnae ken any'hin, lassie!"
