Yes :lol: as I am, but aren't we all? I have an Aussie accent, but live in England. When I've lived in the US, or have returned to visit at any time since, people think I have an English accent(which I don't). I love accents and find languages fascinating.

Precious lil "people"

sometimes ask if I speak English, but that might have to do with being Chinese

Usually assume I am younger

Sometimes cashier's follow me around like I am going to take merchandise

Assume that I am less educated
