Still, I'm pretty sure everyone, including yourself, know what I mean.

My nationality is British. With English being the most-spoken language, mine is English.

Job done, obviously.

If anyone expressing a foreign language or accent they don't like is what you consider xenophobic then I'll accept it.
If the people that media focus groups use in their research for marketing and advertising etc state which accents they find least appealing are who you'd regard as xenophobic then again, I'll wear the badge.
There are lots of accents I dislike. I find the German dialect to be very harsh, regimental and unfriendly. I'm not a fan of Glaswegian accents either. Not saying my own is in any way perfect but if that is what you consider xenophobic, no harm done. In 37 years years nobody else (including those who know me personally) has labelled me that way so your assertion won't be something I take seriously - no disrespect intended of course.
