its annoying
my white coworkers walking around using Ebonics for a kii. i be 1/10th of a second away from really telling someone off but have to REMIND myself that this is pop culture now.
fun! laughs!
not even taking a minute to think about where ebonics actually stem from before bringing it into the OFFICE.
leave that shit for your gathering with ur friends. you ain't from the hood and you're not Black.
So why not politely tell her that it?s offensive?
it's not just a "her". it's more than one person.
and it's not DRAMATIC. just little moments here and there . it just makes me CRINGE. but u can tell they're not intentionally being offensive.
and honestly it's CLEARLY something whites are oblivious to. even if i did say something they'd probably legit be confused. what would i do ? tell them how that mess came from slavery and lack of education of blacks? really BREAK it down to them? they'd be left scratching their head.
i try to see if the other blk ppl in the office are kinda

but they be laughing so sometimes i just think it's just me that is offended by it.
its one of those things that just make me CRINGE. like STOP. but it's not to the point where its happening so often that i feel a need to head to HR.
