And when I talk about accents, I am thinking in terms of stereotypical accents. I find them either hilarious (when someone gets it right about Germans or Southerners or Midwesterners) or borderline offensive. It annoys me when anyone adopts an accent that isn't really theirs. Except for actors.Tiktok is full of white people, men and women, using the music/voices of black people in their clips! As a women of colour myself. I don't find it offensive. Just sayin
Congrats. I've plateaued. Scale pisses me off right now. I get on it and yell "I'm on a f...king diet! You are supposed to be a lower number!" I am able to wear things I couldn't wear before and I feel better overall. Still, that scale better get with the program.Just want to let you know I am starting on my own weight loss journey tomorrow, aiming for 60lbs and then more if I can, I hope I can stick to it haha.

(Says the person who speaks like a Minnesotan after having spent zero time in Minnesota. Years in speech therapy with a woman from St Paul. I picked up her accent and speech patterns.)
When kids do it, it is almost excusable because they are young and at a stage where imitation can be part of figuring out who you are or aren't. I'm baffled by adults like A, P and to some degree I, who went to this really awesome school and stuff.Going back to the subject of cultural appropriation, I think it is generally accepted that it is politically incorrect to adopt mannerisms, dress, hairstyles etc etc of an ethnic, or cultural group that is not your own e.g. blackface, corn row braids, even wearing a kilt to a wedding if you are not a true Celt. A lot of it is seemingly ridiculous but nowadays it is deemed unacceptable as people are far more sensitive. I know here we have white children adopting black gang culture and vocabulary as they perceive it as cool. This is similar to Piggy behaving in this ridiculous manner in her asinine Tik toks as she honestly thinks she is cool and down with the kids. All it is is pathetic.
The blaccent is gross.
We are all rooting you on!Just want to let you know I am starting on my own weight loss journey tomorrow, aiming for 60lbs and then more if I can, I hope I can stick to it haha.

When I've been in NOLA, I come back speaking a mix of German, French and English and sounding like I did when I was a kid. Which was a child who had spent no significant amount of time in the US, speaking Southern English (more Germlish) way too fast with a German accent. I think they put me in speech therapy out of despair.I grew up in Massachusetts so I pak mah cah in the havad yad.
