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.
The study called, “Dialect and Influences on the Academic Experiences of College Students” found that Southern accents many times effected the experience of college life and that educators should be cognizant of this.

Please quit spreading racism. You are, you know
Acknowledging racism exists is not spreading it. It is confronting it. I should say the same thing to you for defending mocking the plight of a group of people that are targeted more by the police. If people targeting black people more isn’t racism, what is? If downplaying a cry for help by these people isn’t racism, what is?
You are some kinda stupid. Blacks are killing blacks. Go to the hood and do something!!! Ask them to stop killing each other instead of spewing your ignorance on f/b. Geesh…….
It’s “Southern Phobia”!
Susan Jones, you are spreading racism by allowing it to continue. Want to stop racism? Start calling people out for their racist behavior so it stops. Until then, you are just part of the problem.
Excuse me ? What’s this so called white privilege I have been hearing about. Just sounds like more BS to me. This is a coined phrase being used by people with way to much time on their hands to belittle a white person. That doesn’t wash with me I am not buying manure, thank you. I am not rich, I am poor and I would so love to see this white privilege you are talking about. Is it money, I don’t have any. Is it didn’t stop me from being picked on in school, again no merit. Did it keep me from a cold father and sexual abuse no, again no merit. Just like African American was coined in the 1980’s so white privilege is coined in 2015. Take responsibility for yourself, stop blaming everyone else for your problems. As for being white I am not apologizing for the way God made me. I feel no guilt about it, why should I. All this cry baby stuff over slavery two to four hundred years ago had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with me. Take this white privilege nonsense and shove it where the sun don’t shine. Tada
And whites are killing whites. But cops are killing more blacks all over the country. Cops have legal authority where blacks and whites on the street do not. That is ins$#%&!@*utionalized racism.
If you were united with black people you would acknowledge thisbis a problem of racial discrimination, which you are not doing. Yes, united we stand, and you have pointed out that tou do not believe we should unite.
Stop spreading your hate and start acknowledging there is a problem so we can stand united against it.
How about a mexican accent, a far east accent, a ghetto accent did that get any discrimination ??????????
