[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s no such thing but there are definitely different flavors of Southern accent. Maybe you just heard one you associate with movies. You could have also just heard “fake southern accent” because not everyone from there has one so he may just be playing it up poorly. [/quote]

I understand when politicians do it on the stump in front of hicks but not on Bloomberg!

And he’s Jewish — that makes it even more interesting/wild.

I can’t think of anyone I know thats Jewish from southern states actually sounding southern! [/quote]

How stupid are you OP? Being Jewish is an ethno-religion. It doesn’t dictate your accent, geography does.  There are Mexican Jews who have that accent just as there would be southern Jews who have a southern accent. [/quote]

NP. I didn’t understand your last sentence, but there is indeed an accent associated with Jewish Americans. Don’t be dense. Most Jewish Americans immigrated to the NY area, and then spread out from there. I live in Los Angeles, which has a very high Jewish population- an interesting mixture of middle eastern/Persian/Israeli Jews and then European Ashkenazi Jews, and the later often have a NY accent.  Not always, I know plenty that don’t, but many do. [/quote]

My god you are dense.  In the course of our history most immigrants from EVERYWHERE arrived to the New York area (Ellis Island, duh) and spread out from there.  It’s not like all Italians; Irish, Germans etc all over the country have New York accents.

There is no universal Jewish accent in the US, and it’s incredibly racist to suggest that there is.  [/quote]
