It's also racist to assume her immigrant parents were incapable of influencing how she speaks English.

People generally pick up the accent/coloquialisms of the people they are surrounded by, PP. I'm going to tell you something that will BLOW YOUR MIND. My Indian-born sister was raised in the Midwest and married a German man of German and Ghanaian descent. They live in England. Their 1/2 Indian, 1/4 German, 1/2 Ghanian child HAS A BRITISH ACCENT.

WHAT ACCENT EXACTLY DO YOU WANT MY NIECES TO BE SPEAKING IN??????

But that's not Awkwafina's situation. She only speaks that way in certain situations, and it is very exaggerated.

DP.. her situation is that she was surrounded by people who spoke that way, and she probaby grew up speaking that way.

I grew up speaking that way, but I can speak without that accent, too.

I don’t know-she is an actress and people certainly code switch. I think the details really matter-did she grow up speaking that way with friends or even as a kid was it a put on accent.

When you are young, you are more influenced by your peers in your speech, not your parents, especially if they worked a lot and wasn't home that much.

-child of Asian immigrant parents who did not influence how I spoke.

A friend of mine is from the UK. Friend has two siblings, and they all speak with a different British accent because of where they went to college and settled down.

Well, people on this board seem to know she grew up speaking that way. Of course, others believe she adopted it as part of her comedy act.

It’s interesting, if you watch interviews she’s done (at least the ones I found), she doesn’t have that accent at all. She also said she got her nickname because as a teen she needed a dumb hip hop name. It sounds like this is a persona she adopted to be funny, and not, e.g., how she talked on a regular basis. Which, might be offensive or not, depending on who you ask….

Because everyone is speaking in their typical and most authentic way during televised interviews!
