Re: I don't understand the argument against the Weasleys

I am still befuddled by Britain's obsession with accents and how they connect to wealth. My Fair Lady cleared up a lot of that confusion, but then I watched some news clip about British media freaking out about how Prince William's accent sounded less posh than it was 'supposed to be' and that befuddlement came back.

I actually remember reading a fanfic in a British fandom a while back, in which the American author commented that when she explained to her British betas that in America, politicians will often play up 'lower class accents' in localized elections or appearances, they were completely befuddled by the idea. But then, they apparently didn't believe a lot of the American political scandals the author mentioned were real and not just shit pulled out of political thrillers. :P
