This is what I keep trying to explain to people.
To a foreigner, its alright to fixate on our accent and ask us to say countless words and phrases because it's a genuine interest and also because 99% of the time it's considered attractive, something that gets us alot of attention abroad.
To us, it's only fun to an extent. At first it might be kind of cool but after a while it just feels as though we're there solely for others people entertainment as the novelty just doesn't seem to wear off and we're still being asked to say this and say that.
