Corny white people who gentrify and misuse AAVE/EBONICS SLANG THEN CHANGE IT AND CALL IT GEN ALPHA/GEN Z SLANG WHEN IT'S BEEN A THING FOR DECADES

Development of AAVE and historical connection to african dialects and slave resistance
Ebonics (translate literally to "Black language") came first and had a very particular connotation. Basically, it was viewed as "improper" English. It was associated with pidgin (hodge-podge) or nonsense languages (like Jive or made fun of in pop culture such as the character Anton from Living Color. The implication was often paired with media/cultural depictions of Black folks as uneducated, trying to get above their station, being ghetto/low class, etc. Basically, it was a stereotype that the way Black people talked was due to being stupid AND part of what made they inherently different or un-American. It was a form of distancing them from "correct" American (educated white) behavior even if they were born in the US. It was viewed as a separate language NOT a dialect (this definition is political, not linguistic).

By contrast, the phrase AAVE was officially recognized in 1996 by the Oakland School Board to affirm the fact that African Americans are American citizens with their own dialect of English. It was used to distinguish and validate the grammatical nuances while also moving away from the harmful stereotyping with Ebonics. AAVE does have its own set of grammatical rules, such as the use of habitual "be" (AAVE grammar). (source reddit)

#thosepeople

A term specifically for white people on TikTok who gentrify every single joke or AAVE term.

It started gaining use by the giftok/underground rap community during early 2025 when #thosepeople started something called "slimetok" and "jollytok" where they would incorrectly use AAVE terms in their unfunny memes, #thosepeople still exist and their population unfortunately growing.

They call the term racist when they've been saying slurs as "jokes" for years now

Faggot of European Descent: why is everyone calling me #thosepeople it's racism ts pmo vrochacho on 5💔🥀

Regular person: don't you say nigga all the time?

Person of English/German/Celtic/French Descent: can we not talk about that right now😅
