That seemed pretty normal to me

I think the bias part is that she expected Mr. Porter to speak in AAVE, which is often considered an inferior or improper form of English. While this could have been a genuine compliment, it’s also possible that this comment is like her saying she was surprised that he spoke in white English. I’m not an expert or anything, but this is what I took away from the clip (:

Her saying that shows that she did not expect the gentleman to be so articulate. As if people of that race do not usually speak so well. That’s the problem.

@@ClementineKit I feel like that is what the creator of the video intended, however in this video I don't think she's implying that. She is just giving some genuine compliments albeit coming off a bit weird. I think videos like this will make people more scared to give genuine compliments than anything.

@@vishalgaikwadsr.964 saying “you are so articulate” is a backhanded compliment. I wouldn’t say this to anyone because it’s pretty disrespectful.

@@ClementineKit Maybe he was just really articulate 😂😂.
