- PaulDavisThe1st 2y agoWhich "socially dominant group" would you pick in the United States? Or the UK?
- IshKebab 2y agoNative white middle class, from the South East. BBC accent is fairly neutral these days. If you're American, someone like John Oliver has a very neutral English accent. I'm not American so I don't want to comment on that.
