    It's a terrible impression. He sounds more like Chris Eubank Sr.

    I have a cockney accent. Whenever I go abroad people try to imitate it. That's fine - depending on what they're saying of course - and often funny.

    I don't know why people are sensitive about accent's. It's the content of the speech that matters.

    His wife is from Nepal. She possibly has a much heavier accent. So Thurman hears that all day and then decides to make fun of Manny's English. Weird fella this Keith.

    I used to date a girl from Manchester and often mocked her accent - if you can't have a laugh with you girlfriend or wife then you need to find a new one.

    OP offended by some wannabe comedy trash talk and calls it "racism". Funny. Or better said: It's pathetic. Bro, you better visit a school and learn some things about racism. You exposed yourself as a clown here with your opening post.

    Thurman is a clown too, yeah. He isn't funny either.

    A British girl is a native speaker, not someone who makes an effort to speak what she speaks. There's almost always a sense of belittling when a native speaker mocks the accent of a non-native speaker. It's perceived so even when it's not intended. Kind of like making fun of one's complexion.

    I'm pretty sure Keith wouldn't like it if someone else mocked his wife's accent, the way he mocked Manny's.

    This guy can not say something jovially without offending, plus Canelo snaps him in half and prime Manny absolutely destroys him. He's awkward as **** Thurman is my conclusion on that vid
