A 19-year-old German student found herself in the middle of a heated debate when her English accent caught the attention of a fellow student. The girl, who spent a month in England, has been speaking with an English accent ever since. But when an English classmate accused her of 'borderline cultural appropriation', things took a dramatic turn. 😲🇬🇧

Accent Drama: Innocent Mistake or Intentional Offense? 🤷
So, is the German student's English accent a harmless quirk or an offensive act of cultural appropriation? She claims her accent change was unintentional and has no desire to adopt any other accent. But her English classmate remains offended, accusing her of pretending to be something she's not. As the drama unfolds, we can't help but wonder: is the girl's reaction justified, or is this just a case of misunderstanding? 🧐🗣️ Let's see what the internet has to say about this situation...
