Would you eliminate your accent in order to fit into college? A recent study shows that student’s with a stronger southern accent were many times more discriminated against due to their sound.

Well lol. It’s not like those of us accused of one care. Rights right. Wrong is wrong. You don’t like our accent? Is there one ? We don’t care. The south has survived and always will. Peace be

Also, do you think black people with accents aren’t also discriminated against? Grow up white person with no self esteem. Black people are subjected to more discrimination in our nation. Yes, discrimination hurts your feelings too. Now imagine how much worse it would be if you were discriminated against for your accent AND the color of your skin. Please grow up. The whole point of the BLM movement is to point out how racist people are. You have done just that by trying to trivialize their plight while acknowledging your own, lesser plight. Kudos. #BlackLivesMatter
ALL lives matter.
