“I didn’t think you were X because you speak so well”
So this is specifically in relation to regional accents, not secondary languages.
How the fuck is anyone supposed to take that? “Oh where you’re from is full of trolls and Neanderthals. I didn’t pick you as one”
God forbid I use a slightly different vocabulary and that somehow makes me special and where I’m from a sinkhole for intelligence.
I understand it’s meant to be a compliment but I’m not having you putting down an entire area and entire being just based upon their accent.
What sort of nonsense lets you ascribe intelligence with someone’s voice alone.
It’s so archaic and reeks of classism.
