"SNL" blasted for cultural appropriation, skit criticized for mocking AAVE

Yanks are so weird with this 'cultural appropriation' nonsense.

We found two dumb tweets! Let's gin up some outrage!

R1, you better not be a Brit, because Brits are even crazier when it comes to SJW baloney.

R2, it’s actually more than 2. It’s actually trending.

The hilarious thing is the people who are outraged are exactly the people they’re mocking. Go look up “SNL Gen z” on Twitter and look for yourself. They’re insane.

Not a Brit, R3.

Thanks for letting me know something is trending on twitter. This changes everything!

That was teenager-speak, not black-people-speak.

Who on earth thought it was lampooning black people?

[Quote]A "Saturday Night Live" skit sought to find humor in Generation Z speaking in slang appropriated from African American Vernacular English.

[Quote]The skit fell flat and was criticized for mocking AAVE, which Black people are often discriminated against for using.

[Quote]The skit also prompted a discussion of white youth culturally appropriating Black culture.

R8 It's the true racists who are offended. They just assume if people are speaking incorrect English they must be mocking black people who naturally can't speak properly. They've shown their true colors by thinking they are woke

BRAH!

Like children of The Californians?

Zzzzz...

Is that Jon Cryer playing the doctor?

Comedy must be safe and inoffensive or it must be cancelled!!

African American Vernacular English aka Tard Talk

Is AAVE the same thing as Ebonics?

It would have helped if the skit was funny. That was pretty lame.

That's how younger ppl in their twenties speak. My brother and his friends talk like that.

R10, black Twitter is complaining along with white Gen Z. At least we’ve moved on from Millennials.

I guess someone died while watching; it was that offensive someone shot themselves.

AAVE should be mocked always. It's improper English.

Don’t all Gen Z white kids speak with a Blaccent and appropriate rap culture?

Is AAVE the same as people saying “axted” instead of “asked”?

It's SNL! That's the [italic]least[/italic] surprising thing about this!

Illiterate Ghetto-speak.
