You don’t have an accent.

Susan Lee
New York, NY

On the phone no one can tell I’m Asian-American, but in person I sometimes elicit this response. Because I am Asian, some people expect me to speak with an accent. Once a real estate agent, on the phone, described the neighborhoods she was going to show me. In person, she limited my viewings to one neighborhood.
