I have an interest in linguistics and in American dialects in particular, so I was wondering whether the women from the clips below sound to you like born and bred Americans, or whether you would think that at least some of them are foreign-born:

Fair enough, this is just my interpretation. I just really don’t like how they phrased it, where they want voices that do not sound “foreign-born”. I’ve heard the same sort of stuff directed at my family in the past for our “foreign” accents, despite my parents having proper Australian citizenship and everything.
And based on how their response is just “asshole” and “obtuse”, it doesn’t seem like they’re the open-minded type. They have also claimed that Native Americans being “born and bred Americans” is not honest (which isn’t a good look)
