It makes me laugh everytime I see or hear comments about Filipino accents, specifically how some Filipinos are embarassed by it.

Perfect English? What's the sound of it? Does it have a particular accent? Liverpoolian accent like the Beatles? British or Australian accents? The Arkansas tone like Bill Clinton's? Good luck to anyone searching for it.

What is has to do with the "Open Letter to Bebot" is the application of quasi-literary criticism techniques to hip hop culture (which obviously was a total mishap).

Whatever: I'm only one out of that good handful of signatories on that Bebot letter, so I really don't know what the other folks think about hip hop and punk.

Sorry I'm taking so long to respond to comments, everyone! Desmerf (above) is (partly) right when s/he writes that it's "stupid" to think that identity is so connected with language, and Anthony, in his second comment, agrees.

Doesn't surprise me that the supporters of the "Open Letter to Bebot" continue to misunderstand hip hop culture as having a class based component akin to punk culture.
