In some London boroughs, for instance, it has taken over from Cockney, the prevailing accent for generations, as inner-city white youths pick up the speech patterns of their black and Asian classmates. More than four out of ten London residents are now from ethnic minority backgrounds.

Same thing has been going on in New York for some time. Brooklynese and Bronxese have been replaced by a form of Ebonics, spoken by blacks, Latinos, Asians, Arabs, and even the left-over white kids.

I love accents.

...until they sound like an inability to master one's spoken tongue.

Great - the next lingual fad. Someone call Madison Avenue and see what they can do to make money from this. Soon there will be white cracker boy wanna-bes from the suburbs speaking jibberish code while failing basic reading and composition.
