All the things me. I work with n an international environment, so my accent is a bit hard to nail down.
Especially in 2010 when my main coworkers were British, Canadian, and Texan. The Texans thought I was Canadian, the Canadians thought I was British, and the brit thought I was Texan.
Nobody suspected that I was Norwegian unless I told them. It probably didn’t help that the home airport as published on the crew lists was first Dublin, then Brno via Prague.

Texans will appreciate that you refer to them as Texans rather then American.

Yup, I’ve worked enough with Texans (and still do) to know that. Some are Texicans, some are Texericans, but first and foremost, they’re all Texans.
