There is a known phenomena among some E Asian living in America to learn English so thoroughly that they loose the accent. The problem is that their English is too good; their diction becomes the accent that gives them away.

It's almost impossible to pass as a native speaker without years of immersion in the culture.

East Asian or Eastern European? Asian to English is a hard change. I've met many Eastern Europeans that you'd never tell.
