It's very rare for kids adopted from Asia to Europe to have an Asian accent.



I know more than one, and I don’t even live in Europe. Please avoid racial profiling, it’s a fool’s errand.


It's not racial profiling to say that people usually have an accent similar to where they grew up. Or that they usually don't have the accent of somewhere thousands of miles from where they grew up.


Agreed. It’s racial profiling to assume where someone was raised based on their name.
