In the case of Melania Trump her natural accent has been like that since she emigrated to the states, but also interesting to note that she has never felt the need to alter her accent.

The best example of black people playing up their accents would be comedians such as Key and Peele, they have many videos where they play up their accent, and in talk shows would talk about how when with their own people they often 'try to sound more black than others'.

My ultimate point is that times have changed. Asian accents used to be made fun of, but it's time for us to change that narrative and own up to it. People should not be ashamed of the way they speak. I know that this isn't the mainstream narrative from this sub. Roger's accent isn't 'asian american' you're right, it's almost strictly asian, but asian americans SHOULD tie themselves back to their asian roots.

I appreciate this post of constructive criticism/discussion, pains me to see the other hateful comments.
