Setsu-P For me, it has more to do with appearance than accent. You can walk around sounding like the reddest of backwoods deep-South rednecks and still be quite intelligent. It's a matter of what you grow up hearing, and whether you've had formal voice training or made an effort not to sound like your locality. Now, walking around dressed like the shabbiest, reddest backwoods deep-South redneck and you lose a few Brownie points. A well put-together wardrobe goes a long way. Not necessarily something fancy, just clean clothes, hair, etc.
I can't agree more! I don't mind accents, I find them typically amusing in and of itself. It is not the accent that bothers me, but the attitude, the dress, and the manner of speaking. If someone comes up to me and asks for directions in bad English, I will give them my best; but if someone comes up to me and demands directions in clear and fluent English, I will probably, out of spite, send them the wrong way. For me, intelligence is not based on accent, race, color, or etc, it's based on attitude and other things.
