      Hey, college boy, I know a fun way for you to spend your afternoon.  Go to your nearest blue-collar or redneck bar, and start spouting your dislike for America in your best European accent, and then I predict you'll be having a good old time.

European accent? What the hell is that?

 

 it is an accent that if you sat down in a bar in any of the 50 us states and started talking to people, then most people that heard it would think you were from europe or australia or england. - That's hardly all of Europe and, hell, Australia isn't in the same continent.

Ah, I guess you mean an English accent?

Simple overanalysis on my part.

Have you ever watched Athenewins videos on youtube?  He's from Belguim and has a European accent.   Same with many Germans when they speak English and I would assume anybody else living on the continent.  European accents generally do sound more like English accents to most people in the US than they sound like Brooklyn or US Southern accents.
