Actually, anybody in a different language would find the American way of speech and how we sound to be an accent, whereas there own language wouldn't be considered an accent.

So say you're British. You wouldn't say you have a British accent, even though others say so. It is so fluent that any other way you hear other's speak in English, it is considered an accent.

Thus, there is a thing as an American accent. Though if you are American, you wouldn't find it to be a real thing. You just have to think about this in a larger perspective of other languages and such. I do hope you'll understand.
