I reckon accents are an easy way to tell foreigners if they are not obviously foreign. I mean, If you are black, and you go to china, it's obvious you are foreign, but if you are thai and you go to china, no ones gonna know except because of the way you talk.
If Phil and I were to talk to each other, we m ight have the same coloured skin and hair and such, but he would have a british accent and I would have a New Zealander accent.
But then there are ways around that too. I'm an actor, and I have confused a lot of people into thinking I am French, Australian, American, German, Italian, and English. Just by speaking with a differwent accent. So then, If someone is the same race as you, you might not actually know if they are from a different country.
