Accent? What accent? Many of us (especially if one attended private school) have no accent. People meeting me for the first time have NO idea where I'm from.
This whole notion of "if you weren't born here/have at least one relative buried in the local grave" then you will never be from here is utter crap. First of all, I can understand if some bloke just moved into the city and acted as if he owns the place, well yeah, that can **** some people off-but this whole regionality thing is a joke-and it doesn't matter if your from new York, Maine, California, or effin' idaho. That mentality is all the same. Being born in a certain city will give you a certain perspective on things that people born outside may never be able to see, but it does not give you a birth right to the city. Swallow your pride, where all human beings.
Well wouldnt it give you a birthright?
when you are raised in a community, you are expected to carry on that community are you not? Why else were you born?
You grew up somewhere, it becomes your home. Everyone grew up somewhere, hopefully. They should consider that their home, and try to grow it, nurture it, and pass it along to next generation. They should not run away from it

To an extent you are right. But, umm, why aren't you where your ancestors came from then? Unless you are native american, you shouldn't be in nyc
Well our ancestors conquered these lands, are you suggesting hipsters should take up arms?
