Eh, but then does this apply to Eddie Murphy who one of his personas is an old Jewish guy? Or are Jewish people not marginalized enough for this to matter? Eddie plays that Jewish character in his acts quite a bit and that character is featured in all of the COming to America movies. So is that okay then? After all, like Asians, there is the stereotype that Jewish people in America are affluent (which is not true). Bottom line is all comedians have an act. Look up Rod Man, winner of Season 8 of Last Comic Standing. When he's on stage, that "slow idiot" character is his schtick, but in real life, he is NOTHING like that. Not in cadence of speech, not in southern accent. So can you address what the difference is then between Rod Man acting like he's a mentally challenged person (mocking peoples with mental disabilities) and Eddie doing white face and acting like a Jewish man whenever it serves his act any different from Akwafina? If we're going to cancel her, should we cancel them too? And is Akwafina's "accent" proprietary to just Black people? Everybody code switches, and for some, it's part of their profession. Is she blatantly disrespecting Black people by saying derogatory things about Black people? Is she going around in Black face? Having lived in NYC for 20+ years, I can tell you, LOTS of people talk the way she does and they are not all Black. People mimic the accents that they are around--not even necessarily the one they heard at home. My kid brother speaks like he's from a Gangland episode, yet nobody in our household spoke like that, but his friends did and thus he picked it up. Who's to say that Akwafina didn't pick it up from her peers? And when we're around our parents or other people, we ALL code switch. We speak differently at home from when we're at work from when we're hanging out. Frankly, I find her act a little obnoxious and she isn't my cup of tea, but I also think that in the whole basket of things to be outraged over, this is tiny.
