I’m a systems librarian in an academic library. I moved over the Lemmy after Rexxit 2023. I’ve had an account on sdf.org since 2009 (under a different username), and so I chose this instance out of a sense of nostalgia. I do all sorts of fiber arts (knitting, cross stitch, sewing) and love dogs.

I read it more as ignorant and rude than racist. Like, if I said “all y’all ought to do blah” and was questioned on it, I’d assume the questioner just hadn’t been exposed to folks with that dialect.
Or like how my brother would make fun of people with a Boston accent while he was a tourist in Boston, getting directions from someone with a Boston accent. Ignorant and rude.
Of course, I’m white AF and my primary exposure to AAVE is online, so I might be totally missing subtext/context/supertext. Also my brother is an asshole.
