I've been thinking this since the other thread and the thread I saw on reddit, but the way y'all talk about their accents make me uncomfortable.
Like, you're all doing exactly what the old lady at the end says her neighbors keep doing to her. I get that people already fetishize accents, but it's the weird combination with race that makes me feel some type of way...
"check out these CHINESE speaking like dem funny SOUTHERN FOLKS" is the vibe I keep getting, you feel me?
Don't you guys find it heartbreaking? They way this lady's families and others have been living in the same place for more than a century, 100+ god damn years, and people are still going, "check out these foreigners speaking like we do"?
I guess I'm just trying to say, it's a bummer to see the very things mentioned in the video repeatedly reinforced online by replies to said video.
This is why representation matters, if these types of stories were shared more often, we'd be seeing less of those reactions.
