And that accent is almost never Spanish. It’s either Mexican, Cuban, or Puerto Rican. My Spanish accent is very much Chicano, because I grew up in such a neighborhood in Southern California. Castilian Spanish sounds effete to me, and of course I sound uneducated to someone from Madrid.
Also, these pronunciations are far more common in the coastal states than flyover country.
- anthk 3y ago>from Madrid 90% of the speech outside of the big towns/cities, the Castilles and maybe Cantabria will sound uneducated or 'hick' to a Madrileño. Specially Aragon, Murcia, Extremadura and the infamous Andalusia where even the Risitas guy can be extremely hard to understand to natives outside Andalusia.
