Look at me. I grew up in Asia, and English is my second language. I come to New Zealand, and people over here asked me if I'm from America or Canada.
Why? "Because you got that accent".
And when I talked to American people, they'll be like, "Wow, your kiwi accent is so cool!" Wait, what?
That is so inconsistent. Oh, there's also this third party who just lumps me in the "weird accent" group.
In all honesty, I didn't put on an accent. Or anything of that sorts. I may alter the way I speak to accommodate to my listeners, but I don't feel like I put on accent. I may be wrong though, so meh.
Till then.
