I can't understand my friend from Oregon. He has a thicker southern accent than folks from Indiana (Indiana is, by far, the most southern state).

Accents have less to do with where you're from than what accent you're around the most when you're learning to talk. You can be in Zimbabwe and if your family and caretakers speak with a Swedish accent, your accent will be more Swedish than Zimbabweish.

Indeed, and despite me spending 3 years in Alabama, I retained my Pacific Northwestern accent because my mom and direct relations all speak with that accent.
I also like Scottish, Irish, and some Spanish accents (Antonio Banderez is the best Latin-flavored voice ever).
However, I HATE the poor neighborhood black people dialects of English. This includes people who use "Dog", "yo", and other idioms in everyday speech, as it makes them sound like idiots.

I made the decision to intentionally adopt a Wisconsin accent, as I grew up in the Army and so had a mixture of many American accents and also quite a bit of German. No one can place the accent of an Army brat, because there really isn't an accent...there's LOTS of accents.

I don't know what kind I really have. I mean because you have the U.P and south(Michigan) I know I partly have a ghetto one, had a lot of friends from flint/Detroit and it rubs off on you, in less i'm around a cop.

Well, it's not Rhodesia anymore so there isn't a demonym that rolls off the tongue like "Rhodesian" does.
