I would be sterotyping if I said I already knew that.

Titanic, you say you're "Asian"; do you live in Asia and have a problem with pronouncing L's and R's?

I was born and lived in Vietnam for 6 years before moving to NYC. I have no problems pronouncing most words, I still have a slight accent when pronouncing some words. Vietnamese is spoken mostly with the back of the tongue and the throat, so if you pronounce the same spelling different, it has a different meaning.

Ex: the word La

La (pronounced with an "a" like in the English word "car" means to yell)
Lá (pronounced with an "a" like in the English word "fast" means "leaf")

So when I began to speak English, the words that made you use the tip of your tongue were hard, "love", "tranquility", "rover", by now I have no problems because I came here at a young age. My parents have an extremely heavy accent however. I still sometimes mess up a word if I speak too fast, I can't do tongue twisters at all. But my grammar and spelling is, tbh, better than the average person my age because I spent most of my childhood learning English, and I only had one year of ESL class. The rest developed from playing games and watching TV shows. :) My American friends tells me I also have a slight NY accent as well, like the word "water", I say "watuh".

Ok... You see, I'm a European Caucasian living in Norway. I do not get offended when someone makes fun of French accents:

Like I've been saying, neither do I, as long as I know you well enough to know whether or not you're joking around. So yes, I would be "wtf, who the hell are you" if some random guy decides to run up to my face and do an Asian accent. Much like Nathan60 is here, except he's doing it to every Asian person on the BBS.

We don't know who you are or what kind of person you are well enough, so why wouldn't kweassa or myself go "wtf, who the hell is this guy"

As far as I know the only thing Nathan60 did was to respond with a joke in the first post in this thread (after the OP of course). How is that equal to "run up to my face and do an Asian accent" ?  Are you saying Nathan60 is stalking Asian members of this forum and making fun of them on a personal level?

Ace, your punctuation is horrible.  What's it matter I'm not writing up a business proposition or legal paper am I?

You gonna walk into an Asian bar and do an Asian accent?
You gonna walk into a KFC and make black/chicken jokes?
You gonna walk into a German pub and make Nazi jokes?
You gonna go into a Yankee's bar wearing a Met's jersey?

No? Then don't do it here. If yes, then do it and post a video of what happens, I'd love to see that.

First of all this forum is not an "Asian bar", and secondly, we're talking abut funny accents, not Nazi jokes. Peter Sellers made a career out of making funny accents; his Indian accent is legendary. Many comedians and even movies use funny accents for comedic effect.

If Danny Glover and Mel Gibson can make funny accents on the big screen, so can anyone anywhere.

Well, Rosie Odonnell (sp?), I am sure a very popular person with the average American AH player, got thoroughly castigated for doing a mock Asian thing.

Generally, people should just be polite and not say things that others find insulting.  Kweassa is Asian, Korean if I recall, and already stated his position on it.

Having basic good manners and not insulting people has nothing to do with political correctness or any such thing, it is just basic old fashioned manners.

You know part of good manners is  not constantly correcting or trying to correct people.  But yes I already apologised sinece some consider it rude somehow to do a false accent  even though most people  dont consider it rude, just annoying.(do a certain accent around a certain PPIG pre coffee and its on, since we dont even do the accent rigth)
