Hello guys Frank here again!
As i was reading the forum posts today i remembered that i have been wanting to ask this question here and is..Do accents bother you? Can they hinder or help your channel? Can your skin color/race effect how fast you grow?
Now of course this is a delicate subject that hopefully non of us will take to places it does not have to do, but it is still a valid interesting question so i will start with me.
Race: Taino/Puertorican (sorry but im Puertorican and we are (originally) Native Indians not Hispanics)
Lenguage: Spanish(main) English (secondary)
color: Caramel
Accent: Hispanic/Spanish
My experience so far has been that in the world of the internet everything is fair play, but there are some things that make me wonder if they effect how i grow in youtube. One of this examples is the common mistake of thinking i am Hawaiian (this one is almost the same as puertorican as we both live in torpical islands) and the other one is indian from india. The way i see it is that i find myself in limbo, i am not from india so i do not attract that demography but western civilization considers me anything other than western and so people cant relate to me. Part of being in youtube is creating a relationship with your audience and i have always gotten this feeling that i cant seem to identify myself with any part of the world. Puertorican themselves don't look like i do as i have a rare native indian gene somewere in there that makes me look more native indian than the average Puerto rico citizen and so "my own people" think i am from india.
So what are your thoughts? Have you experience anything like this? is it all in my mind? i will say i have received PLENTY of Bollywood comments/nasty comments ect. from my comment section but then again is the internet...what's new?
