Why is it people hear a Southern accent and seem to instantly assume the speaker is dumb or something? I know I talk a little slower then all y'all, but it's a regional thing.

From my mama.

I agree it's bullocks that people judge specifically on accents. Personally I can tell there's different accents but I couldn't tell you where all the American accents come from.

Most folk who refuse to go outside of their neighborhoods and expand their minds to the rest of the world are the gits that say such things. You're good for not letting it take you down... Eventually they'll get theirs.

I hope I never lose my accent.

I've met some real sweet men who always did right by me, but my mama says some men are just trash. When I date I wanna find someone classy.

I'll do my best. ♥

Whereabouts in the south are you from?

[scandalmaker]

Crowley, Louisiana. And you?

[keepsaken]

Originally Austin, Texas, but it's Dallas that I call home.

[scandalmaker]

I've heard good things about Texans, I hope they're true.

[lettucelive]

Oh.

You go to my school, don't you?

[scandalmaker]

I think so.

You're a senior, right?

[lettucelive]

Yeah, my name is Anya.

I'm a freshman, and my name is Caradoc but my friends call me Cara. Nice to meet you.
