Has anyone ever seen or heard of an Asian person but doesn't have an Asian or American accent?

Lots of them. It just depends on if their parents taught them mandarin or vietnamese or another east asian language. If you grow up not speaking it, you won't. This generation for sure does not have it as much, and it is slowly going away, just like most foreign accents when you move, takes a couple of generations... (from my experience with Asians in KC)

Yep. I met a couple mexican/japanese on my last visit down south. Was pretty fucking weird lol.


My Japanese brother (not blood, we just call him that) just came to visit my family for 9 days. He brought a bunch of bomb ass Japanese candy and he's just a funny fucking guy anyways. Was good getting to hang with him and meet his son.

Glad you got to hang with your homie

Most of my generation does not have the accent, as we were born and grew up here, but our parents have it a little bit since most of them were born in Vietnam but my grandpa/grandma speak minimal english and have a strong accent. It really depends on how much the accent is if the kid was taught an east asian language as a young child, that is what gives people that "Asian accent" it's going away... but some still have it, and the older they are the more likely they are to have it.
