Bette Midler accused of xenophobic tweets mocking Melania Trump: 'She still can’t speak English'
Actress Bette Midler faced intense backlash for mocking First Lady Melania Trump's accent.www.foxnews.com
What do you think?
i listened to the first sentences of her speech. for someone allegedly polyglot, and living in the USA for such a long time, her accent sure is atrocious.
Xenophobe.
where?
Look in a mirror.
do you think her accent is not atrocious for someone who is allegedly gifted in languages and living stateside for years?
Nope. Many people retain their accents for professional purposes. My own Korean TKD instructor spoke with a thick accent in public - people found it cute - yet spoke nearly accent free in private. My childhood doctor from Ireland did the same. He turned the accent on and off.
Sometimes it doesn't work. Bela Lugosi retained his accent, and it severely limited his career.
lol. okay. she retains her accent for professional purposes. that's funny.
Shrug.
Common practice.
