Curious about your personal view and what you've heard from others in the US.
In a professional context, socially, romantically, etc.
I'm not asking about British or Australian accents (but feel free to share), but more specifically French, Hispanic, Indian, Chinese, etc accents.
Does it depend on how strong the accent is? Does it depend on where you are? The context? The accent itself?
If so, how?
Does it affect the perception of someone's skills, competence, compatibility, knowledge of culture? Is there a value judgement associated?
Yours of what you've seen/heard
