[quote=Anonymous]OTOH, I get how people might be mad that she’s making $ on a persona that uses typical AAVE and urban ‘tropes.’ OTOH, I have no idea if that’s her ‘lived experience’ or whatever, or what’s an act. Nor do I really care since it’s not my lane. I’m sure OP is white (or, at least, not black) and needs to sit out this fight. My daughter’s teacher is Nigerian. Like many other posters, both my kids go to a very diverse school and bring home language and terms and pronunciations that are foreign to me. I’m not about to teach my daughter how to pronounce things ‘correctly,’ because that’s hugely problematic. Her teacher’s way of speaking is correct! If people say she’s ‘appropriating’ something I would be annoyed [/quote]
