@astoldbyindie: I literally could never talked like I white person, I didn’t even see a white person until I was like 4 and wasn’t routinely around them until I was in school. ##accents##language##accentchallenge##generalamericanaccent##fyp
condescending cadence is the perfect way to describe it, i’ve never heard that.

Upseak is a key component of white American accent and you don’t have that. Usually even the most soft spoken BW have some level of bass in their voice that lets you know they’re an adult. A lot WW cling to that infantilized up speak into old age.

I have the same accent. I came here when I was young too. I got this accent while I was at college. I was around people from all over the country. That’s how I needed up with a non regional/ general American accent
