Handling Prejudice:
“Because I have an accent, some people treat me as if I’m stupid!”
If someone acts as if you don’t know what you are saying because you have an accent, you can say, “Yes, I have an accent, but I also know what I am talking about.”
Talk to these people about casual topics so they can get used to how you sound and can learn to respect you. Be patient with the ignorant.
