Message: <blockquote data-quote="Holly" data-source="post: 74264" data-attributes="member: 3874">This is a bit off topic but I was curious if people feel they have been discriminated against because of their accent? I have a friend who was told that their accent could be a barrier and pose as a lack of strong ‘communication skills’. For context this was a few years ago at a law fair and they are from African descent.I have a British accent so I obviously havent experienced this and was shocked that it even happened. I wonder if this happens on a wider scale and if so, have firms done anything to create a more inclusive space for people who may feel like outsiders because of their accents? I don’t know much about this so I can’t comment further but thought I’d open a discussion on this!</blockquote>
