Language and accents govern so much of how people think about other people.
Smaller incidents in my life made me realize that language, even more than color, defines who you are to people.
[Languages] became a tool that served me my whole life.
When you hear somebody speaking in an accent, it's almost like they're invading your language while they're speaking to you because if you hear someone speak another language, you almost don't care. But when they speak your language with an accent, it feels like an invasion of something that belongs to you. And, immediately, we change.
