This is how ppl talk tho

She’s from New York, from a very diverse school. She speaks the way a lot of New Yorkers of her generation and circumstances speak.

I love Europeans (French, German) they all sound almost the same black and whites so long they from the same country.

As annoying Awkwafina is, she is so yellow as a mustard as it is, she doesnt sound black

Dude im starting to think that i have a blaccent and didnt even notice until now

There was a post online I saw that said specifically, queer people tend to adopt the opposite identity of themselves. White queer men adopt the identity of black women and that for someone like a Billie Eilish she’s adopted similar identities to almost like black female stud, or even black men. I.e. the do rags the baggy pants, the sneakers, the streetwear styling. A lot of people will pass it off as Gen Z, but it’s so specific to black culture. It’s just not the case.

Also with billie eilish ik the reason y she wears baggy clothes is bc she doesnt want to be know for her body

Isnt she from New York i thought thats y she Talks like that

This is really just in America cause in other parts of the world people do not give a shit if you sound black or white we all just live with it. This is why American culture sucks…

@Narrator: BLACCENT IS NOT JUST SOUNDING BLACK! ITS SPEAKING, ENUNCIATING, ITS VERBAL GENUFLECTING...! AS A BABY-BOOMER I HAVE EXPERIENCED AS WELL AS BEEN TOLD BY OUR ANCESTORS DURING SLAVERY, RECONSTRUCTION AND JIM CROW WE WERE NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO ATTEND SCHOOL! SO WE ADOPTED BROKEN, ABBREVIATED ENGLISH! SO STOP WITH SAYING YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT AAVE OR EBONICS SOUND LIKE THAT HAS BEEN CO-OPTED AS WELL AS APPROPRIATED BECAUSE ITS TRENDY!

2:58 No one owns a culture. Or it's expressions.

How to misunderstand Fight Club and The Matrix - objective opinions 😂😂😂

I don't mind if you sound white or if blacks sound black but it makes me absolutely furious to hear white kids trying to sound and act black.

When I hear the word blaccent, I think of that one sound that goes "in the clerrb, we all fam".

the black accent has direct origins to the south, get over it as it is also white.

It's so cringy hearing awkwafina 😭

It’s sad talking ghetto and street has become black culture

I thought that was just her NY accent

none of this is interesting. identity isnt interesting.

the author greatly got his point across. applause

*"Not sounding black, but caricature."* Excellent way to say it. 👍

awkwafina grew up in queens..

I don’t like people using fake accents in real life like as if they’re real, but there’s no such thing as black or white accents. It just depends where, and how you’re raised. If that’s still exclusively a “black accent”, then what would you call the accent you have? I wouldn’t inherently call it a “white accent”, yet people call you the “whitest black guy”. Plenty of people put on a “white accent” for movies and the internet, people just like getting mad about nothing.

So I grew up in the hood as a white girl. I have always talked similarly to Billie Eilish's "dialect." It is annoying, ngl, when people try to portray you in a way that they expect of you just because its what they expect. Ive had plenty of people say if I was behind a curtain they would assume I was black. In all honesty... that my cultural upbringing. Nobody judged me for it except for a few racist individuals. I am done trying to play people pleaser and pretend I am someone I am not, just because that is what is "expected".

ok but what about the cone bread girl?

I think another thing people forget is that some accents cross cultural and racial boundaries. There was some tiktokker who got canceled recently because she was supposedly using a blaccent. She was Asian, and had grown up in New York, either the Bronx or Brooklyn, and had a very strong accent and people canceled her for talking like a black person. But then when some native new Yorkers and a linguist chimed in, everyone started pointing out that her accent was more akin to a Bronx accent rather than a legitimate blaccent. People sometimes associate a blaccent with a regional accent, due to that region being associated with black people and culture, so then when someone of another race speaks in their normal voice, people who aren't from that region immediately call it a blaccent. Everyone who was cancelling the Asian girl online, where mostly white people who weren't from New York. I've had people tell me I sound black, when I'm just talking like I always talk, being from the south. If it's your natural voice, or if it's a natural accent, there isn't as much of a problem. Like you said, the issue is when people treat it like a costume that they can take off at will.

Technically, Neo is a savior, considering he offers the best alternative to the system at the end of Revolutions. And that's what it should always be about. Not destroying the system through anarchy, but replacing it with something better. He didn't save the human race by destroying the system, like Morpheus would have wanted.

Hi, I do have a question is it problematic? I’m a spanish speaking person. I’ve learned and am actively learning english through media. KZbin, videogames, tv shows, etc. And I concider to have a higher level of English than the average person here. I’ve picked up an accent due to the media that I consume, and a friend of mine who now lives in the US, tells me that my way of speech is problematic. Now I personally don’t feel this way. Where I live there’s a lot of people from different countries and I’ve adapted their words. Like Mexico’s “ese” “wey” “alv” chile’s “la wea” DR’s “EL DIABLO”. I just don’t be understanding what the difference is if I can adapt vocabulary from other cultures in Spanish, but I can’t in English. I swear to you when I serve at restaurants I can’t say “Of course sir” without doing a Jarvis accent. Do I get a pass? Do I start speaking like Sofia Vergara? Do I start consuming “white media”?What do I do? Lmk

Thank you for making this video. I appreciate that you took the time to define out the difference between parody and appreciation.

I understand the sentiment behind this video but the way you talk about the case makes it seem like some injustice happened in the court. Shouldn't we call for black citizens to be given the same benefit as Rittenhouse instead of making it look like he didn't deserve that verdict because he's suddenly now in the center of a race issue? At this point, we need to start reconsidering how we conceive of equality because if we're going with this, we're just wishing for everyone to be worse off but equally. This is what people mean when they say identity politics tend to smokescreen class issue, we're able to accept equality given to us by a defunct system so long as we're equally suffering, equally exploited. In the process of you portraying Rittenhouse in this way, you got people looking at him like some criminal psychopath without care for human lives, not as a person trying to survive, making some stupid decisions, a product of his environment, etc. That's a great irony that you got people seeing this white guy like how racists see black people being convicted. Why not look at all criminals from shoplifters to pedophiles this way. Different color, same lowlifes amirite? Isn't that the equality you're advocating for here?

now you just compare anything to jim crow to say it's just as racist yes, white people steal culture from any other cultures, cause theirs is so f. boring. they can't even make proper music. but yeah, I don't see that being so racist like you said

when ever someone states the phantom that is 'alt right' they loose all credibility 😂😂

Great video

What is you talmbout

Nothing cringe me more than seeing most vanilla looking guy with less than 1% melanin rocking durag at 6am in a tim hortons.

lol culture

SHOUTOUT JID AND EARTHGANG

yeah i understand that feeling, or i can atleast relate to it a little.. im brown and people tell me i "act white" like how am i supposed to sound, how do you want me to act?

Remember, you ain't Black unless you voted for Joe Biden.

I'm offended by the movie White Girls, Jake from State Farm was White all of a sudden he's Black, Spider-Man is no Black, Spider-Man is White, Jimmy Olsen is not Black, Jimmy Olsen is White. How about we have a white Actor portray Black Panther?

In addition to Neo's name: "Anders" is a Scandinavian name that translates as "human" or "man". This makes Thomas Anderson -> Thomas, the son of man. Another reference to Jesus, with Thomas being the one Apostle who didn't believe that Christ returned after the resurrection, a hint at Neo not believing his own powers.

Fight Clubs portrays the life of young people growing up in corporate culture and how they're unable to form meaningful relationships. Tyler IS the narrator with his desires realized through random acts of violence as opposed to his desires being formed by advertising. That's his way to coping with nihilism under capitalism. They all grew up without proper parenting (no matter if their parents were physically absent or just weren't there as role models). And the same is true for Marla. Marla is also unable to form emotional relationships with men, she's been sexually abused as a child, she has meaningless sex to satisfy her urges but that's it, nothing more. If you pay attention to it, there are so many little hints at this, the phone call close to the end with the narrator for example, when she asks if they "had sex" or "made love". Instead of proper parenting, corporations raised them. The corporate world sorts people by their behavior, punishes disobedience, rewards cowardice. Advertising tells you what you need, what you should enjoy, who you are. Even if you secretly wish something else, you still comply because that's all you know, because that's how you survived in the past, because you're afraid to be someone else - Tyler Durden. It really is a battle against your self, and most people either lose or don't dare to start the fight in the first place. The real merit of this battle lies not in a victory of Tyler over your old, weak, passive past self, but in what you learn from this battling. Tyler is resentful, destructive, anarchic in the worse sense of the word. He doesn't have a purpose in life either - but at least he accepted it. IIRC the movie says that at some point, that Fight Club "gives you a reason to cut your hair and trim your finger nails" - even when there's no deeper reason behind Fight Club itself, "because everything is meaningless anyway". So if there's nothing behind this belief, this violent nihilistic void of Tyler Durden (which leads to fascism when it influences others), then we get to see the merit in overcoming this too - genuine relationships. In the end when the narrator, *after learning from this nihilism*, sacrifices himself to end that nihilism (in other words, nihilism itself only hurts when you feel that you gotta do something with your life, that you have to "be good for something"), it is then that he realizes that self-sacrifice doesn't have to mean that your life literally ends. Only then is Marla interested in him again, because he's no longer the insecure order-follower, nor the emotionally unavailable bad boy, nor the unreliable mess fighting himself. He simply is whoever he is. They simply hold hands, the only genuine, kind, well-meaning sign of their affection for each other in the whole movie. No egotistic satisfaction of one's own needs, no self-interest, no "trying to get something from the other one". Now they like each other not because they have to, because there's no one else available, because they desire something or any of that - they like each other simply because that's how they feel about each other. They accepted life as it is, no need for destroying the world, no need for saving it. What's left is genuine love. Real love doesn't come out of despair, social conditioning, morality, drives, or advertising. Only after going through the pain of desire, nihilism they are free to love each other, because they no longer have to, but still do so. Growing up without parents or proper role models, they found each other. They'd make great parents, don't you think?

I grew up in a small southern town. The amount of racist rednecks that listened to rap and "talked black" was astounding. And it has only increased. More and more people adopt this or that from black culture, because it's cool or funny or "different" but they don't want to accept the actual people which it originated from. So many "internet words" that are used increasingly by more and more white people, going as far as having WHITE POLITICIANS using certain phases or words to seem "hip" and "widdit" are actually lifted straight from black people. So many non black people admire so much of the black culture but are hesitant to embrace it's people. It's so strange. And please, if you're a POC and think I sound like a moron or that I'm totally wrong, I would definitely appreciate being schooled.

How is this in any way objective?

Bro upload again, the people need you

it's cringe when it's obvious that it's put on

Awkwafina doesn't do a Blaccent. She's not from Shanghai or Beijing, she's from Queens. That's how she talks. I'm from Brooklyn. That's how most native New Yorkers talk. So just because she's Asian she can't sound like a girl that grew up in a major urban metropolis?

But they never do learn or care without a real punishment. Cancel culture actually worked

Well said man!! I've saw a couple of different videos on the subject and this is the mose concise....Like for real this is the type of video teachers should play to start a healthy discussion on this topic! I'm a "white" man but i think this should be considered a bigger deal than it is...If i walked around talking with a fske chinese accent or Mexican accent i would be chastised very quickly, so why is okay to appropriate "black culture"?...i have an 11 year old daughter who has really been using the "valley girl" accdnt lately, inadvertently she will use words that are kinda blaccent but never actually the tone of blaccent and i want her to realize no one ACTUALLY talks that way and that it can be inappropriate and rude..this kid is probably the least racist child ive ever met, we live in northeast Alabama but she truly doesnt see people in terms of race, which makes me very proud because she doesnt judge people from things like that, i just want her to know theres also nothing wrong with being "white"...Its okay to be white and proud just like it's great to be black snd proud!! Dont EVER let anyone tell you appreciating yourself and youre culture makes you insensitive or ignorant...I was sent to a boot camp in South Alabama in Mobile about 18 years ago when i was 17 and was treated incredibly bad because people assumed i was racist because my "country" accent, so i really do understand what's at stake when it comes to these types or conversations!! Thanks for sharing young man, and very well put!!
