If theyre not native speakers it sounds poserish.
I may not know how to speak my mother's language but still doesn't mean I'm going to say cilantro like a gringo

You dont need to change your accent at all to say words right...

I guess anyone who immigrated to america and doesnt try to change their accent when speaking english is rude and not trying to say the words right according to yall....

Yall offensive as hell.

If youre saying croissant with a hard T, youre doing it wrong. Describe it as an accent thing if you like, but literally mispronouncing a word in a foreign language is not a good thing.

Also, some languages are tonal, making it almost impossible to not put on some sort of accent without saying it incorrectly.

Also, please dont pull the immigrant card. I am an immigrant.
