Sure some idiots in the Northeast can't end words with R and southerners do some weird stuff but for the most part English accents within North America are pretty much a non issue. It's diction that causes most communication problems and even then these are generally not a big deal in business settings. When you start talking about English speakers from other continents where English pronunciation is being influenced by some other primary language that's where the accent problems arise.
Ok but what does that have to do with white Americans?
It's a Vice article. If they can find a way to wedge in race-baiting, they will.
