Which US accent is this?

You are correct it is common among Hawaiian people to have this accent, it is more commonly called the "SA" accent of Hispanic Americans, heard in regions of the south west.\nMostly younger and uneducated peoples. The exception to that is the Hawaiians.

Not sure...but it seems that Americans like Australian accents....don't think it's a good thing actually :/

It's a form of slang.  The official language of the US is English, the American version of it.

I quite like the Australian accent, but I really hate the South African one!\n\nScottish is nice, as long as it's not too difficult to understand and I also quite like some American accents (not Southern though)

theres a girl with a thick accent that i dont recognize at the "Panera Bread" restaurant near my work. her name tag reads "Dorka". that might have been rough to grow up with in the U.S.

I'm from Minnesota. I once went on a mission trip to St. Louis, and we were pretty much the only remotely northern youth group there. So we were the ones who had a funny accent XD (I distinctly remember this guy from Texas coming up to us, imploring us to "say 'Minnesota'!" Once we'd said it, he got all excited and was all like "DUDE! That totally just made my day!!"). And the pastor there once referred to one of my group leaders as "mah friend Kathy frum Minnesooooda" (imitating the famed Minnesota "O" sound). It was rather entertaining, I must say.\n\nI think there are drawbacks to that particular accent, though. First of all, when you're singing choral pieces you're supposed to have an open "O" sound, which, as a southerner, you naturally lack (no offense intended). I know of one conductor who was thoroughly frustrated with her choir because of this very thing. Also, sometimes it's a little difficult to understand when it's particularly heavy--though it's much more comprehensible than a heavy Scottish accent (sometimes it sounds like they're not even speaking English!). \n\nSo, in answer to your question, I do not have a southern accent, so I cannot be proud of it. But I think that that particular accent is a small part of America's charm.

He was born & raised in Texas. Some people who live in other places will lose their accent. I have a strong southern accent, much more than my brothers & sister - we were all raised together & live within 10 miles of each other. Some people pick up accents more than others. If I spend a lot of time with my friends from out west, I get a weird accent. His Mom definitely has an accent.

They have their own accents, yes.\n\nTo the untrained American ear, it sounds like an Australian accent, yes.\n\nBut it has its own characterisitics.

None.\n\n"Grey" is the British spelling, "gray" is American,

I am originally from Philadelphia but lived in NJ for several years and yes, I can hear my own accent. Accents in general are subjective so someone from NJ might not sound as harsh to me as they would to someone from London simply because I am used to they way New Jersey natives talk and they aren't. \n\nI didn't become fully aware of how strong my accent was until I became good friends with a girl from MN; Listening to a recording of us talking, we sound different as night and day. Not that she sounds like she has a stronger accent, she just sounds different. When compared to Midland American English, she is technically more "accentless" than I am.\n\nOnce I began studying Arabic I started to pay strong attention to the way I and others sound. I also encounter accent-related hurdles when it comes to pronunciation. So Arabic is another thing that made me more conscious of my own unique American accent.
