Is it discriminatory or racist that I am sick and tired of hearing people talk in ebonics and slang and broken English constantly?

I used to be a fan of the way they talk and write; whether it be poor white people or poor black people. Yes, this is just a generalization so don't get offended.

But for some reason I am just suddenly so tired and sick of everyone around me speaking like they dont have two brain cells to rub together.

I dont look down on people who are less educated or who are legitimately retarded, either.

I guess it is just that normal people make up the majority of the people who speak and write like they we never taught how to read or write in school. If it was a few poor talkers here and there, that would be tolerable. But when it's the cool, trendy, even normal thing for people above age 11 to talk like they are illiterate and dumb, I find that really obnoxious.

no, not racist or discriminatory, many people talk sloppily because they were either not taught to speak in a way that is understandable but many adopt a style or manner to fit in with their surroundings. Unfortunately, identity (and having one) is very important to many people now.

People using "text speak" in actual conversations makes me want to punch them in the face

I don't get why it's cool to be dumb.

I don’t notice this myself. Things that bother us do tend to stand out though. Maybe a break from routine is in order? Holiday or something?

Of course it's not. Nothing wrong with being annoyed by something like that. You should cut them some slack, but it's not discriminatory or racist.

No you just want people to talk normal English that’s all

[Asker]

Thank you so much for speaking normal English.

[Iron_Man]

Sure

[Guy13]

Nope…. I’m tired of it as well. Foreign nations speak better English than our own 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Juxtapose]

Yeah it's really dumb it makes me think they are wannabe thugs.

I find it more annoying when they speak like that so confidently about things they have no clue about.

No, most Ebonics speakers are white anyway.
