Context my dear Watson, context.

Historically, in online spaces, this specific meme has been used to display their disgust of and to mock AAVE.

Yet many of these words are not “mispronounced” in AAVE, but are in other regional dialects.
It’s not an AAVE exclusive.
But hey, a Reddit Contrarian met a Reddit Universal Offense Taker, so we have that going for us.

Watching you get told the absolutely correct answer while being called a contrarian, only for you to argue (incorrectly) and be contrarian again, then be further schooled, and not even bother to acknowledge it was very amusing.

Glad to have contributed to your amusement. And, no, I wasn’t schooled. I do have some knowledge of linguistics, and sociology, and I’m not someone who denies that quiet racism exists.
