      it's not racist, but it kinda offends me a bit whenever I hear non-Jamaicans trying to speak in a Jamaican accent. I've only heard one white guy who's mastered the accent. And when I did, it blew my mind. It's very difficult to imitate, if you weren't born in the culture

      Jamaicans sound Jamaican not African American.
      Which...curious thought, do black people have an "accent" that is different from whites in places like the UK? Because if not, this would be a sociology project on racism. I'd totally read/watch that.

      I'm impressed by Fred's abilities to do accents, and immediately liked his comic abilities too. Actually I first discovered Fred Armisen yesterday in SNL shorts "The Californians", and I got there from the comment section under a post on Reddit which represented some accents as either funny or normal.
      Я думаю, что помимо прочих объективных факторов, известная грубость русского акцента вызвана нежеланием _большинства_ населения прислушиваться к нюансам языка. Впрочем это верно для любых акцентов. Люди учат язык потому что хотят возвысить свой соцстатус а не потому что им интересен сам язык.

    Though the accent didn't really sound like it, he's right in saying that Minsk is a lot tighter and Moscow is a lot more dragged out. They say it's cause people in Moscow are much more fond of themselves.

      it really wasnt^^ hes speaking this stereotypical german accent, like americans often try to do. hamburg is not the most educated place in germany, in fact its at the very bottom with the two other city states bremen and berlin. what he claimed about hamburg is rather true for munich, since most people there speak "high german (Hochdeutsch)" and a subtle form of the bavarian accent. in hamburg you speak "low german (Niederdeutsch/Plattdeutsch)". he is kinda right about berlin, but then again didnt hit any nuances; like, not at all. just lsiten to it if you dont belive me... but then again, his comedy style is very ironic, so one shouldnt take his sillies and goofs all to seriously.

      +Shinigiffy “White Russia” is an inappropriate translation.
      It's a term coined back in the XVIII century by a Russian Empress to diminish national identity of then “Litva” (at that time the Ukraine was called “Small Russia”). Unfortunately that's still used in German for instance and by Russians (for obvious reasons), however “Belarus” means “White Rus”, and that's more accurate, as “Rus” was a name used for couple of duchies in that lands (e.g. Polotsk Rus) before the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (or rather, Litva, which was the name for Belarus, while “Lietuva” was the name for Lithuania). But thanks to the Russian politics and people's ignorance “Litva”/“Belarus” identity is on a couple of hundred year old trip to diminishing.
      I don't expect anyone to know all that, but Belarus is not Russia, not yet at least.
