Well, there is the thing. You know why it doesn't sound like a Brazil Portuguese accent? Because it isn't supposed to sound like that accent. The VA they hired is Puerto Rican. The language of Puerto Rico is a variant Spanish, not Portuguese, and it has a local dialect and accent all of its own that is indeed different from how people would speak in the countries complaining.
    hey so I said so on an earlier page but before DT self identified as white. On her own website she describes herself as being "From an old Kentucky home", has mentioned her southern accent as a hurdle, and said that she's "Puerto Rican on her dad's side". And I apologize if my tone is calloused, it's just that being latina myself and having chicano, chilean, and PR friends... I know what these accents sound like, and I'm sorry but yes Sena's accent is both fake and just bad. Sena is not Puerto Rican, she's an American with PR heritage. At-closest, her dad... the accent sounds closer to mockery than it does loving imitation, to me at least. :/

    her ethnicity, race, or other identies shouldn't be part of this discussion, but if it's going to be used to defend her performance, it's at least good to be accurate.
