[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the criticism is focused on the fact that it isn't how she normally speaks (as some are suggesting, based on her growing up in Queens). It is because in her comedy roles only, she adopts an exaggerated persona that some feel is inherently mocking of black culture in it's delivery. She doesn't speak that way in other non comedic contexts. It would be like someone adopting an exaggerated accent of an immigrant group for their comedy routine. To be clear, i don't have an opinion whether this is a problem, I'm just conveying what I've read in terms of other's criticism. [/quote] Isn’t she acting like countless Asians from queens rather than mocking black people? Key word: acting. [/quote] I have no idea, that's one reason why I don't have an opinion on this.
