Why does Mackenzie Dern have an accent?

[G0DSPEED]

She was born in Phoenix AZ and graduated from a Glendale high school in AZ.

She doesn't have an accent here in 2010




But in 2016 she has an accent:




She is Brazilian and American because her parents are from Brazil I think at least her dad. But she was born here:





Only her ass has an accent:

Her surname is Dias but I guess in Arizona she didn't want to be viewed Mexican because of the border trump etc.

Depends on environment

 

[polarbearlulz]

Everybody has an accent.

I noticed the same thing. Accent helps publicicity. She's low-key sellout.

If the parents are from Brazil, that may be the answer.

Ryron & Rener Gracie were born and raised up in Los Angeles, but you can hear the accent in their speech too.

Growing up being bi-lingual most likely.

My son does that too when he's around his friends. I'm mexican he's a hybrid whos only been to mexico once and grew up not speaking Spanish because my wife doesnt. Think its just adopting accent of his friends. Maybe she was around that click.

It's like when some white people talk to black folks and suddenly, they speak in ebonics. Sad, really. People just want to belong, I guess.

So I guess an 18 year old Chinese man can move to AMerica and just speak like Chael Sonnen?

Maybe, but it's possible to lose your accent and pick up the speaking habits of the people around you, then go back home and find yourself talking with an accent like all your family.

I've seen it happen to plenty of east coasters who travel home then come back to Toronto, and we get to make fun of them till they lose it.

Easy answer. Nobody wants Jon Jones to be sitting on their face.

It's not hard to pick up accents if you consciously work on them
