entry 27

You ask if people are discriminated by their accents or languages. That is a very stupid question. Of course people are discriminated by it. You are an idiot if you think other wise. Take the U.S. for example, we have a butt ton of different cultures and all that jazz, but when you think about it, we discriminate everyone who doesn't speak English. The Mexican immigrants are discriminated because they cannot speak our language. The same goes for every other culture. The Japanese immigrants who can't speak our language are treated the same way. If we were to go to an African culture that speaks the click language, we ourselves would be discriminated because we can't speak the home land language.

Now onto the accents. Back to the U.S., those who live in the middle of the country don't tend to have a definite accent, but if you travel south, you find people who use English slang such as 'warsh' or 'not no how'. We discriminate these people as not smart and idiots.
In the cities like Chicago, we tend to base their accents with rough people or criminals. A lot of this deals with the history of the places that you go though. Like the Great Depression affected some southern families and they weren't able to teach their young, and the mafia affected Chicago.
We as humans are judgmental and it's sickening, but my reasons for that don't comply to our subject and I don't feel like ranting about my views on our failing race.
