[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MLK Jr. and William Faulkner had strong regional accents and only an idiot would fail to recognize their enormous contributions to the mainstream of American life and culture. If you've been around a university science department, you'd know that there are a lot of geniuses who can't lose their foreign accents. Assuming they hadn't had a chance to get out much only betrays some serious underlying ignorance on your part. Southerner accents also make for better telemarketers and scam artists because people drop their guard. So bias and perceptions can be harmful to those holding the bias. Why judge on the accent rather whether or not the teacher uses correct grammar? I don't want a teacher who doesn't know his/her grammar but any assumptions about the accent are just unnecessary.
