morenita i've started to notice that people who consistently invoke "the hood" in many lazy cultural appropriation debates have never actually grown up in "the hood"
accusing non-black people who grew up around black people speaking AAVE of cultural appropriation seems kinda...lazy idk. like if you understand linguistics at all you know that people adopt the language that is around them (this is NOT about the n word no one but black people should ever say that)
a lot of these cultural appropriation discussions get very lazy and don't actually address the issue
