AAEV, also known as African American English Vernacular, is considered its own language and so any grammatical differences you see or hear in the spoken language or written language, is not actually wrong, stereorypical or racist. It's simply a different standard of rules and grammar.

AAVE, and it is a dialect of English not a language and is as valid as all dialects are. But yes, otherwise correct.

Mimicking accents you don't actually have because you think they sound funny is an incredibly offensive thing to do, regardless of what group holds the accent or uses the dialect.

Are minstrel shows and blackface not racist now?

Yes, actually. Just because you find something funny doesn't mean it isn't offensive.

Is it only wrong to mimic accents when they're associated with people of colour or is it any accent? Because I regularly mimic the accent of people in southern Denmark to great comedic effect.

If you don't have the accent, it's offensive to mimic it.

Did it physically hurt you to logic out that you had to say it's also offense to mimic a southern white trash accent and not just the accents associated with black people and other minorities?

Like, did you think I was going to say it's ok to make fun of non minority accents? Because that would be hypocritical and obviously the lampooning of southerners as inbred simpletons is offensive.
