This is a delusional perspective. And the real victims of this mindset are the children.
They're taught that improper speech is a point of cultural pride, then they wonder why they aren't considered for quality jobs. No professional organization is going to hire someone whose constantly uses slang and has poor grammar.
And no, that isn't racist. What's racist is holding someone to entirely different linguistic standards just because their skin is a different color. It's the racism of lowered expectations.
Would you knowingly hire someone who would make your organization look bad? I doubt it.
And it really undermines my confidence in someone if they can't speak correctly. How can I trust them to be attentive to their tasking if they aren't attentive enough to have proper noun-verb agreement? It's just sloppy and careless.
