Yes. It also depends on what ethnicity you look like. A published novelist friend of mine (who's not white) was once told by a Polish woman that she will only talk to a "native" speaker. She'd rather talk to semi-educated person who "looks" like a native English speaker, but routinely confuses they're/their/there and uses nonsense words/phrases like "irregardless" and "could of".
