My brain is weird

[s.c.dude]

Anyway why is that when you here some one saying something in a foreign accent you automaticly connect them to something. case and point germans accent and sounding smart and french people and theifs?

 

[Tomoyo]

I don't. I connect a French accent with French people and a German accent with German people.

That's normal. Those are called "stereotypes" and personally, I consider forming them to be a perfectly normal part of the human animal.

Stereotyping via accents? I used to do it to an extent, though I don't think I do it as much now. I could be wrong.

Never happens to me (or at least it's rare). I don't stereotype by accent much (if at all).

I like accents, but I don't recall applying stereotypes to much, if you talk more than 2 minutes with the foreigner you'll soon find more obvious differences...
