I love those accents! And you're teacher is just being a retard.
Say to him you know this little kid named FRANKY. He should know who he is even though u may not
I feel bad for you, OP, I'm an Indian guy and I've lived in London for the first 10 years of my life. I lived in New Zealand for almost 3 years and I've been living in Canada for 3 years. It's a ******* ordeal explaining this to ignorant people wondering why I don't sound "Brown".
Saying you spent your childhood in the UK is an ordeal?
Perhaps people are more curious than "ignorant" when they encounter an Indian who doesn't have an Indian accent. I asked my girlfriend where she was from the first time we met because she had grown up in New Zealand, Australia and the U.S. and has a unique accent. Think of them as curious rather than ignorant and it might no longer be an ordeal to say you spent your childhood in the UK.
The Accents are ALMOST as cool as brick walls, But hey who's judging xD
No, 98, saying I spent my childhood in the UK is no ordeal. However, explaining that multiple times to people who say I'm full of shit and bully me is an ordeal.
Everyone has an accent.
Not mute people.
Ok why Frankie and why should teacher know?
I was born and raised in America, speak two languages and have a Russian accent in both. Neither language is Russian. There is no explanation behind my accent. At least you have that much.
No worries, shes just a wee little lady.
Don't let one asshole get u down
I'm irish :D
Liar!! Why's your username 'Salsa'? Huh? Thought so.. Spanish? Maybe. South American? Probably but Irish? Don't think so buddy.
Or #41 was immitating the teacher and apparently none of you idiots got it. That's another possible explanation too. Don't worry 41, I got it and it was funny... except that we had to explain it to everyone else. ;)
Yep, that's exactly it 63. I guess going by your username, I should assume you're a pedant jerk? I would, but that would make no better than you. So here's a royal **** you instead. Cheers.
It's a never ending cycle of ignorance. @_@
Seems to me that there's a bad case of "bustin' chops" going around.
41 your a dumbass
I say OP should speak up more in class; raise his hand, participate, whatever it takes. ;)
Filipino pride:) yeeeeeeyaaaaah!
But if you're a dragon, why is your picture of 2 (what i assume to be) elementals kissing?
Filipino isn't an ethnicity. That's like saying American or French is an ethnicity.
The majority of Filipinos belong to the Malay or Asian ethnicity. Anyone born in the Philippines would be considered a Filipino but not necessarily be of Malaysian or Asian descent. Since he was born in Ireland he is Irish of (most likely) Malaysian or Asian descent.
4, The Philippines is a corrupt country run by greed and stupidity. You shouldn't be proud of your country until it has some semblance of order. Pity is the emotion you should be feeling for the poor oppressed people living in that backward country who have to live every day under a constant power struggle perpetuated by the trash that labels itself law and order.
Yeah I'm Filipino too!!!
Yeah I'm Filipino too!!!
Filipino Canadian pride FTW!
I'm there right now, in the Philippines for a couple of weeks. I'm Aussie, but half Filipino. The country isn't as bad as you seemed to make it sound.
I'm a panda! What now, bitches? And if you can guess why I'll give you a cookie.
190, You're there right now? For a few weeks? Oh I'm so sorry, I'm sure a few weeks has really been enough time for you to learn all about the entire country. I assume then you're staying somewhere like the provinces, or perhaps the outer rim of Manila, and are keeping as far away from the usual tourist areas as possible so you can really see the financial disparity. When you get pulled aside by the police who you have to bribe openly in broad daylight to avoid a false charge you can say you've experienced a taste of the bullshit system they have over there. The country has a joke of a political, legal and judicial system, and the life expectancy is extremely low. It's not a third world country because they have their shit together.
Your post is SWPL - being an expert on other peoples culture. (But you're wrong, sorta.) In other cases, American isn't an ethnicity it's a nationality since America is made up immigrants. Nationality basically means citizenship. So the OP is of Filipino ethnicity whose nationality is Irish. Ethnicity refers to racial lineage. Same thing for French nationality. Of course one can elect to have two nationalities if one chooses/has the opportunity to hold dual citizenship ie. born in America, but moved to Ireland or the Philippines. Of course multiculturalism muddles this two terms and due their multiple ethnic background some people refer to themselves as "muts" (most likely European muts) a derogatory word if you're PC. As for me, I'm an American citizen of Filipino ethnicity. I consider myself an Asian-American (ah, being hyphenated America).
178: American and French are nationalities. Examples of ethnicities include the Amish in America and the Alsatians in France.
Downtime, you are such a badass. You probably know a lot about countries you're not from.

Show it anywayNot all Canadians say "eh!" at the end of their sentence.
Actually I live in Montreal and maybe not after EVERY sentence but we do say it often
Irish accents ftw!
I laughed so hard I fell off my moose.
alright settle down you hosers
I watched Fargo a lot as a kid ever seen it? its good movie
I'm Canadian. I don't say eh often... but when I do it's at the end of a sentence-eh. Just kidding we don't actually say eh at all but I personally love using it sometimes just for fun. I mean, this is a pretty innocent stereotype.
Maybe you say eh a lot over there in Montreal, but in the GTA (Toronto mainly) I don't think I've ever heard it being used in a sentence.
I'm not sure why Americans think we have an accent or say eh. Your stereo types are all based on Canadians who speak French as a first language. That like assuming all Americans sound like mexicans.
Yes exactly! I've been living in Newfoundland since I was 12 and I've never even heard someone say 'eh' that aren't making fun of those that do. It's mostly in Ottawa and Quebec isn't it?
I live in Ontario and everyone I know says eh often. However, I've never heard anyone say 'aboot'
Well I guess I'm one of those Canadians that do say 'eh' on a regular basis. I'm from Calgary and I've become so used to saying it every now and then I don't even realize it.
I was born and raised in Toronto and I have heard "eh" at least 4 times in 17 years....
im canadian and i say "eh" all the time. AND IM PROUD OF IT, EH!
Yeah true, I live near Montreal too :)
ME 2 BROTHER!!!
99 sorry to burst your little bubble there, but the rest of you Canadians DO have accents. Just like Americans have accents. I'm from Montreal and I don't have a French accent, but I have an accent just like every other country. And it varies from province to province, state to state etc.

Show it anywayNo it's not. Consider yourself corrected.
^ awesome
25- I think he's talking about his dislikes.
I think all the negative votes serve as correction. Booyah.
I shall take it further! Isn't* Filipino* I'm* And now according to DocBastard's profile, I want your sweet ass.
Damn who stole her lucky charms. That's a bitch move OP but don't let her bring ya down cause accents are awesome. Argh!!
shes just racist thinking all irish r white
No, she is not racist. There is a far better chance that it's a kid mocking her than one of the very small non-white population of a small country ending up in her class on a different continent.
Must be quite an ignorant teacher. Do a Michael Flatley dance and proove her wrong. FYL

Damn. But hey, accents are cool.
No worries, shes just a wee little lady.
