Today, my teacher, who's Irish, called me insensitive and stupid for imitating her accent. I'm Filipino and my parents immigrated to Ireland where I was born, and then we moved to Canada when I was 14. Her response to my explanation? "Bullshit." FML

I'm Irish and I have enough cope on to know that not everyone with an accent is white.. Of you're born in Ireland then yes, you're Irish.

Whether or not you consider her Irish, do you at least realize that spending the first 14 years of her life in Ireland means that her natural accent is an Irish one?

I'm Irish and I think you need to get the hell over yourself, as well as learn that by living in an area long enough, you eventually develop the accent.

Even so if you have an accent how in the hell does that make u Irish it's not blood u fucktard her blood is filipino. And you seem to be just a peace loving hippie. People are more animalistic than u realize.

Prove your Irish roots by getting drunk, then fighting with everyone in your class. It's an Irish tradition, as you know. My grandmother, when she was alive, could (and did) out drink, out cuss, and beat up anyone she met. Ah, how I miss her!

Eventually she'll figure it out once you keep talking like that for a few weeks.

Huh? Your birthplace doesn't depend on your accent; that wouldn't make any sense. Your accent depends on your birthplace -- or, more specifically, the place in which you first learned the language. And you do have an accent. Everyone does. But everyone also thinks of their own manner of speech as 'normal', so they don't see themselves as having an accent.
