I had a similar experience: Back when I was swimming laps, another swimmer was an Asian-Australian physician, and I initially had a hard time understanding his Ozzie accent — I surmise that here in Texas I was unconsciously expecting something different from someone with his facial features, so my brain had to parse through the "disparity."
