Why not? Grammar is grammar. Literature is literature. Whether or not someone has an accent when explaining subject-verb-object sentence structure or discussing the heroic quest motif is irrelevant.

True. It would only matter in something like an elocution class. Otherwise, there are many people that have a firmer grasp on proper grammar and also speak with an accent.

They’re not talking about Indian, French or German accents. We know exactly which accent they’re referring to given the recent events and the current context. When this particular group speaks of accents they’re referring to Mexican and other Spanish accents.
