Have you ever been subjected to Racial/ Cultural Abuse/ Discrimination?

I'm kind of surprised by that because in my experience we tend to be enamored of the British accent. Like you're built-in celebrities as soon as you step off the plane. You all just sound so... official. That's why your actors are always the ones chosen to play the people in period pieces, no matter what country is being depicted.

It works well with women but it makes blokes competitive, they've got to try and get one over on you.

EDIT: and I don't sound official, I sound like the AC/DC singer after he's just finished a world tour.

I work in a call center and every now and then I get a Brit. Just yesterday I think a Scottish guy called. I wanted to ask the guy for his autograph.

To somebody tuned into American accents you might think a Scottish one sounds great till you get to meet them and you realise they're a bunch of oat-eating savages. Sorry Scottish people, but you are.

I like the New York accent on women, who all seemed to be really self-conscious about it until I told them I really liked it.
