My mouth and tongue and larynx and history shape my accent and is not yours to talk about. It's mine. Do not imitate it because you look like a fool and is not nice for your image. Avoid using it to categorize different accents, and placing them in a specific level of development. Accept that my accent results from a particular colonial history; wherein you as a daughter or son of colonized peoples can be used by the same powers who place me in an accent-related and very accented discussion, to keep you busy with sounds and intonations while distracting you from attending to important issues.
