This only proves that I'm not MDEfugee, downie, autist, or any other labels you cucks try to put on me. I'm my own party, army and a movement. I'm an independent, thinking, rational person unlike you dumb sheep.
The language expert explained a trifecta of problems with the wording Monterey Bay Aquarium used to describe Abby:
The word “thicc” is a slang term primarily used by African Americans.
“She chonk” becomes problematic when the word “is” is removed because such phrasing also is used in AAVE.
And “Oh lawd she comin” also likely originates from AAVE because “Oh lawd” is a commonly used expression for African Americans in some parts of the country.
“By themselves, I don’t think that any one of these things would have bothered so many people, but, taken together, this tweet is pretty cringe-worthy,” he said.
“While I highly doubt it was intentional in this meme-filled tweet, African American Vernacular English has been mocked throughout U.S. history for the amusement of white people. It’s the linguistic version of blackface.”
i feel like 95% of the people who talk like that are white /r/BlackPeopleTwitter users who think it makes them cool if they use the cool hip hop words they heard a rapper say once
It's this fucking simple, idk why everyone spergs out all the time. Just pony up and write your apology letters or have them pre written and ready to go.
Isn't AAVE just a black appropriation of intelligable white people english? They need to quit appropriating white culture and go back to speaking in clicks and whistles.
You mean the old southern american accent? Somehow that was not subject to endless scorn and treated as if it were "incorrect" and a non-language. Funny how that works.
Why are high status accents like GA and received pronunciation "correct" and "intelligible" and low status accents like AAVE "unintelligible"? Literally the exact same linguistic process formed all of them. The features that AAVE has developed, are things we can find in other languages, or things that have developed previously in the history of English. Because all languages are subject to Chomsky's universal syntax, they are just evolutions and variations.
The backlash from doing anything remotely bothersome to these people is so severe it makes apologizing seem like more and more of a bad idea. These fucks are literally making more unapologetic sociopaths
So they're ranting about how this word is "cultural appropriation" but not how they described an otter, an animal, as thicc, a word used pretty much only with sexual implications?
Sounds like they still have their priorities in order.

If you find yourself comparing politics to sex you should neck yourself, because you're clearly doing both wrong.

Ironically, I bet the otter itself was thinking Yessuh, hah! Yeah mmm-hmm gonna get me some crawfish, hah! Hell yeah, hah!

Now, it's not a loan word and there aint no loan about it. Because white people take everything.

I'm even more offended and annoyed by internet-meme-speak bullshit than I am by AAVE, but they both are horrible.

It's like sampling in hiphop.
If you do it enough and claim its original white people will capitulate.

Isn’t English just a Germanic language appropriating Latin vocabulary?
