How much you accept an Accent

Ok so I have bitched about people calling me dipper or FOB. Yes I am an immigrant and I thought that Vancouver is culture savvy.. Really is it? People who are born and raised here especially the same of my ethnicity are harsh. May be they just want to get away from there identity to be the same as mine, so whats going to be the easy way to make that difference....its simple make fun of a DIPPER the one just don't belong or the one who just got off the boat. And as for my fellow Canadians...they have been good so far. The one thing I have noticed that "HOW" much they understand "accents" from different countries. Just yesterday we were in class and I called out an artist name in "wrong way" or just my accent shouted out. So what I was pointing out was not noticed but what I said became the topic. I waited for them to finish of with what they have to say and then come to what I was talking about but no that just got lost in the laughter. VANCOUVER(CULTURE SAY)....HAHA!!!
