To be fair a lot of the old world is like that.

I speak German yet I don't understand the Swiss or Austrians for shit, or any German who speaks in a dialect.
I also went to school back in Croatia that was 45km from my hometown and it took me a few months to start understanding some professors and classmates fully. In my home region I can tell what village someone is from purely by their dialect. Italy also has its fair share of regional dialects and languages you won't understand as an outsider, or even a native Italian who isn't native to the region.

It's an old world thing where people have lived in the same spot for millenia and developed their own dialects and languages organically, as opposed to the new world where a standard was set fairly early and the immigrants, who make all of the population, adapted to it and rolled with it.

>The "American" accent is from white non-english europeans.
The American accent is not European. The phonetics don't resemble continental European languages any more than the British accent does.

In fact, the American accent has retained more of the features that the English language used to have than the British one has. For example the rhotic "R".

The notion that the American accent somehow devolved into a mess because of European immigrants is false.

American English (neutral north American, aka Midwestern) is basically English being spoken by Germans and Scandis.

That's my argument while discussing Euros talking in American English accents, because the sounds are easier. Singing in an English accent sounds more retarded but at the same time if a Brit sings with a complete American accent it's cringeworthy.

You've clearly never heard Germans or Scandinavians speak English.

We're supposed to be better than the Europeans. We should have learned from their savagery. Instead of having a pseudo-empire, we should be as free as possible. Let the contrast between European countries and the U.S. be as stark as the contrast between nanny states and a genuine free state.
