Lost_All_Senses 11/07/18 12:24:20 PM #6:	Veggeta X posted... Lost_All_Senses posted... English as in American or British? Might be a stupid question...im not sure British Oh, I guess if people just aren't use to British culture Id think they just were uncultured. Im more surprised when Im use to seeing an actor talk like he's American and then he's off set fully British. Like C.C. from The Duece. That dude has an insanely good American accent. I like what Michael Che said about racism in his special. "You gotta earn your racism with me" Which basically means to me that he's not gonna just be one those guys actively seeking out racism in people. Like as long as this person treats other races as equals then why flip at little uncultured things they said? If you got the knowledge then school em and move on. Edit: like if you feel Im wrong here, school me. --- ....I thought it was funny <cite>Lost_All_Senses posted [p:911983833] in Is this ra...

nemu 11/07/18 1:49:00 PM #15:	No. I can't really think of many contexts where it could be considered racist. I guess it could be if we're talking about a black actor, if the person saying it doesn't believe a non-British black person could do another accent because they're black. <cite>nemu posted [p:911989104] in Is this ra...
