Is it normal to pretend to be a diffrent nationailty

I guess people pretend to be a different nationality, because they think they aren't good enough, and that they will be more interesting, more likable and generally more exotic and unique if they pretend to be someone different. I think I probably entertained pretended I was English, or German for a short while when I was in high school, but I'm one of those people who is an awful liar, and lies feel even worse than my less than stellar foriegn accents. Sometimes I will do a Scottish accent, and that rather entertains other Americans, but I would probably implode into a dense, little blackhole compromised entirely out of my own shame if a real Scottish person heard my fake accent.

To be completely honest I have found that my own natural Southern/Texas accent works well enough. Although I want to specify that I was raised in Houston, not Dallas. I've also spent a good number of years living in various parts of the Deep South.

I find the accent in Delaware to be rather strange, but light enough that it doesn't annoy me.

Was one of them Kazakhstan? That one was popular at my school, courtesy of Borat.

It's so dumb

When I was living in Houston my ex, and I met this weird, little person working at a store in the mall that sold all of these As Seen On TV things, and this person was obsessed with Japan, Japanese things, Japanese culture, and anime.

I saw this Kurdish comedian talking about how he would lie to women that he was Italian, put on an accent and say his name was Roberto to appear sexier.

He almost got caught once because when he got back to his one-night-stand’s house her roommate’s Italian boyfriend was there, however when the two guys were left alone together it turned out the boyfriend was also Arabic.

So they never wear shorts in Venezuela?

Were you on a spy mission there?

I just looked up what half African American half Native American people look like and found an article on a guy who thought he was half white half Native American. It turned out his “Native American” father was really half African American half Chinese but after being involved in gangs and spending time in jail he crafted a new identity as a Native American man. Wild.

Oh Lord have mercy! There are few things that are as cringey as that Dick Van Dyke mess.
