Seriously? You guys, accents aren't a willing thing, unless you're trying to do an impersonation. The accent a person naturally talks in is just that, the way a person naturally talks. You can "embrace your roots" all you want, but if you naturally speak perfect English, then speaking with an Asian accent is just going to mean you're faking it... which, honestly, I would find to be more offensive than flattering.
And studying abroad might mean that they'd develop a better accent when speaking the language that's spoken in that country. But it'd have no effect on the way they speak English.
