SHE'S FROM QUEENS. HOW DO YOU EXPECT HER TALK? I'm Asian, I talk like the white people I grew up with in Michigan. Are you going to accuse me of cultural appropriation?[/quote]

My elementary-age kids have a "blaccent", because they went to daycare (and still go to aftercare) with 80% AA kids and two AA teachers in their class. My kids are multiracial, but not AA. Are they going to be accused of "cultural appropriation" if they still talk like this in a few years? Because there is a lot of "She don't got no shoes on" being said in my house, and no one is making fun of anyone, it's just how they learned to talk FROM THE PEOPLE THEY ARE GROWING UP AROUND. Same reason I talk like a white Midwesterner, though I'm not white.

I would find it weirder if Awkwafina sounded like she was from Wisconsin or something. Everyone from Queens talks like her.[/quote]
