If it was the other way round (for ex a British Pakistani trying to speak Punjabi or Urdu with a more ‘authentic’ accent) we wouldn’t be thinking of it as a negative, would we?

I really don’t understand what’s so bad about trying to perfect an accent..

I don’t think we expect a British or Chinese to speak perfect Urdu / Punjabi. If someone can do, we do appreciate that.

Our own languages (like Sindhi) got so many accents, but I don’t expect a Sindhi from Thar to speak in accent followed by people of LaRkana. Here in Karachi, Sindhi families (who are settled here for decades) speak in a peculiar accent, but we don’t find it odd, as they have continued to speak and made their children speak in their mother tongue.
