"cultural accents"

[Sub-Zero]

what is it with certain sects of society developing accents, that arnt based on location or speaking another language?

examples:
Black people accent
Gay people accent
Dumb blonde accent

can any linguists explain this to me? thanks

I'm guessing it's part of their collective identity, kinda like rednecks and dipping.

I watched his show long enough to see some distasteful skit on disabled veterans and thought to myself: "fuck this guy". I haven't watched him since.

I loooooove disrespectful humor, but if he wants to rip on vets I'll just change the channel.

No, but I have an intense loyalty to vets.

For starters, we should let them vote at least three times each. I don't argue politics with vets. I may think they are dead wrong, but it's like arguing abortion with someone who has adopted five kids -- they've put their money where their mouth is.

I feel the same way about Jesus.

Irregardless of my personal beliefs, the disrespect of using a deity considered by many (to include family and friends) as their lord and savior as a punch line doesn't work for me.

I have a similar streak. Religion served a purpose in our development and it's pure folly to think we can just shirk it off without consequences.

I'll also admit I sometimes can't resist a religious joke though.
