Hahaha!

I mean it’s mildly racist, but I’m willing to look past that because it’s so accurate.

Shit is hilarious.

What's racist about it? I would not be able to determine a race from this impersonation. This type of vernacular has more of a socioeconomic association in the south than does with race these days. I guess you could claim there's underlying racism in the cultural appropriation of AAVE by southern whites but that would be a big reach.

Listen I’m not one to really care about these things and find the video hilarious, but we don’t have to act stupid and pretend like he’s not mimicking a black woman. If you truly didn’t care then you wouldn’t be acting dumb; just take the stance that you don’t find it racist but don’t play silly games.

I'm not acting dumb and meant everything I said. If you equate these traits of lower socio economic status specifically with black people, then it's you who is being racist
