Take this with a grain of salt (I am a member in good standing of the White Male Patriarchy, so I don't have any experience in being the recipient of discrimination), but I have noticed that accents that are outside the norm for a given area seem to generate all sorts of presumptions and assumptions about intelligence (or lack thereof) and character (or lack thereof).
