     Why You Shouldn’t Mock, Imitate or Joke About Other People’s Accents

 

    Most people agree that discrimination is bad, this means we shouldn’t mock somebody else’s accent. It is rude, it is offensive, it enforces prejudice, racism, xenophobia, and classism. “But I’m not mocking all the Russians as a group when I make some joke in which I use a fake Russian accent,” some will say. “I’m not insulting anybody, I just made a joke, it is harmless,” they will say. Unfortunately, this is often not how people whose accent was imitated will feel about it. Somebody can perceive such jokes as offensive. In the worst case scenario it is possible for people to develop anxiety and feelings of insecurity about speaking if others commonly joke about their pronunciation. People can internalize the stigma about their own accents to the point where they hate the way they speak.

    Basic human decency, politeness, and kindness aren’t the only reasons why people should abstain from mocking somebody else’s accent. From a scientific point of view, there can be no such thing as the “correct way how to speak.” Once you learn the basics about linguistics, it becomes impossible to say, “My way of speaking is correct, yours is wrong, but I won’t mock you only because I’m a kind person who feels sorry for you.” […] Bullying others to speak your way is something you should not do. Can you understand what the other person said? Great, that means their accent is perfectly fine.

( ) Zombar do sotaque de alguém e fazer piadas sobre o modo como uma pessoa se comunica, além de ser indelicado e desrespeitoso, também revela formas escamoteadas de discriminação e de preconceito.
