I was working at a SoCal company a couple years ago (where I’m from), and we had a lot of Chinese and Indian folks. I remember cracking up when one of the Indian fellows pulled me aside and asked me where I was from, because I sounded so different with my accent and lingo. He thought I was from some small European country, lol.

Just to note interpersonally I find pretty much any group to be great on average but being a participant of US labor and sympathetic to other US laborers this is clearly not something I can support.
You can’t support having a good enough relationship with coworkers from outside of your country that you can relate cheerful anecdotes about them?
The language I use being from southern California has, on more than one occasion, sparked conversation about it.

Sorry, dude, it's like, all I know.
