not know the difference probably comes from not hearing them enough. so why the fuck should we learn to tell the difference? you came here... maybe you should learn to speak with a canadian accent.

also, what's kiwi?

Heh...exactly! You can only tell the difference if you have came in contact with the dialects. At least for us Asians we can tell between English and French and Spanish and etc. A white dude probably can't tell the difference between Mandarin, Korean and Japanese!
I remember posting a game which compared different asian cultures and not even a single RS member got perfect. Seeing RS consists of 90% asians, you guys couldn't even tell the difference

I can't tell the difference between a Vancouver accent and a Toronto accent.

Yeah, and that's pretty much the same reason why every Jamaican calls me "Jackie Chan" when I'm over there. That's the only thing they know about the Chinese.

Don't ever mistake Irish for Scotts and vice versa. Just a fight waiting to happen

Odd because they have a significant Oriental population. (I use Oriental because they distinguish 'Asian' as being of Indo descent.) Hurr.

Ummmmm...that's not even close to the truth...there is a large Chinese population over there...I should know....both my parents were born there and I still have a lot of family there.

Also, they used to call Asian tourists 'Mr Chin' or 'Mrs Chin'....guess some have changed to Jackie Chan...
