[Arturo]

First, what’s a ‘white accent’ ? Are you refering to a boston accent, southern accent, valley girl accent, minnesota/wisconsin ‘ya’ accent ? There’s many different ‘white’ accents! But forgive me for making the assumption and guessing that what you really mean is how dare a hispanic aspire to speak standard american english in a crisp, polished,grammatical, and articulate manner ?! To do so in your opinion is to betray an ‘authentic hispanicness’ as if to be authentically hispanic one has to remain a first generation immigrant or forever in the ghetto. I’m a hispanic immigrant from Colombia, and Colombians have always been sticklers for speaking a beautiful, polished, mellifluous Spanish, outside of Spain I don’t think there exists a more beautiful Spanish. In Colombia, a person that refuses to learn to speak well and articulately would be frowned upon if not ridiculed ouright, I’ve brought that same sensibility to my English and I hope to pass it on to my children.
