@sup It's a mistake to judge the past with the eyes of the present. We must know our historical legacy, understand it and accept it, in order not to incur the same mistakes as our ancestors, but it's an injustice that you force a person to take charge of a crime he didn't commit.
The England of now is no longer the same England that colonized India, just as the Germany of now is no longer the same Germany that sent 11 million Jews to concentration camps.
You have every right to feel outraged, incensed by all the hardships your nation had to go through, but it doesn't make any sense to call to account now for a conflict that was solved last century.

Its not that bad. I like accents. Every one can have there own opinion on things. Just enjoy the person u are.
-
@athena well said

@franziska I mean its not bad but then again I never met any German accented girls, if anything it makes you unique
-

@david394949 Hi David, yeah I'm a little planet called earth... umm, maybe you've heard of it the third planet circling the Sun.

I feel you, I'm also very self conscious of my accent... some notice it some others don't, but I simply dislike it. I think in the end it's all a matter of taste. I personally like that english can come in so many accents depending on your mother tongue, so...
HELL NO, it's not a bad thing, makes you unique to say the least!Well said girl!

Before writing all of that please read what I said again.
I didn't mock him and his people who have no relation to what their ancestors did to many countries. -
Be proud of yourself and your heritage despite those horrific things your people did to India.

U know what's the coolest thing about accents??
-
@franziska if you're unhappy with your accent, then it's bad (for you).
-
There’s nothing wrong with a German accent. Be yourself and forget about what others may think.
-
Only germans ever worry about their accents and try speak every language as perfect as possible.
Also have you ever seen an english film where they speak german? The way those untrained actors speak german really is ugly as shit. But real germans don't talk like that.

@pe7erpark3r you're discouraging her from learning a universal language. Fluency of English is skill in this world rn and it can give you an edge over others
-
I don't like when someone talk in fake accent. It also degrade the trust in things the person is speaking. It is good to learn different languages but hiding ur accent is not a cool thing at all. This symbolises that you are not proud of ur orgin and who u are.
-
@Jeff9998 I was only talking about the accent. Of course I'd encourage her to speak english well. I mean I love english. I even think english, even though I'm german.
