Obama speaks like a white person because he was raised by white people in Hawaii and Indonesia, places without many black people. Ethnic dialects are hardly limited to the US. My grandmother's first language was Yiddish, which is really just an ethnic dialect of German. If you heard her speak it, you would instantly know she was Jewish. Same idea. Are there no ethnic minorities left in Austria? What a change from the Hapsburg days!

So, ethnic dialects. Are they pervasive in Europe? Do French born folks of Magreb ancestry retain distinct speech patterns? Turks in Germany? South Asians in the UK? Obviously immigrants have accents, but what about those born in Europe?

Western Europe has no significant indigenous minority populations similar to the black population of America, so it's difficult to draw comparisons. Perhaps the Roma might qualify.
Black people are indigenous to the United States? Huh
