- I couldn't disagree more. Although it's not as bad as racism in America,
- the tention in our country is beyond just making fun of different accents.
- It comes with all kinds of discriminations, like jobs, and marriages for
- example.
- After all, making fun of people's way of life shows how insensitive our
- society is.
