But because in Australia we're so inundated with American culture, television, this that and the other, everyone in Australia can do an American accent. It's just second nature.

en The accent got lost somewhere along the way. I'm a little embarrassed about it. When I arrived in LA I assumed I'd be able to put on the American accent. It proved difficult so I had six months working with a dialect coach and it's become a habit.

en Now how would an officer come to such a presumption: would it be because the person 'did not look American? Would it be because the person had an accent?' It would disproportionately impact the Asian American community.

But after I had been here for a few weeks I realized that this was indeed true, the accent is different.
