Title: What do you think about people who only use an accent for certain words?

I find it incredibly condescending and annoying, unless you are speaking the entire sentence in that language.
No one but Americans do it. Not like someone from Japan or Mexico will be speaking about American food, then totally drop their native accent to say "hamburger and french fries" with a flat White guy accent. It's stupid.

Chefs especially are guilty of doing this constantly, as if naming the ingredient with an inflection makes it more respectful of the ingredient or something.
