To a lot of people talking like a black person, or at least the way they imagine a black people talk, is inherently funny because, to them, black people are inherently buffoonish. "Oh lawd" is a real go-to for these sorts. Some people see those captions as trafficking in that sort of humor. Hopefully you can see why that would rub people the wrong way.

Okay, but what if you associate "oh lawd" with americans, not black people? Is making fun of americans okay? I'm Canadian and I've never seen anyone say "oh lawd" IRL regardless of skin tone. Seems like an american thing to me. If I was to picture the person I think would typically say "oh lawd" it would be a large white southern church lady with big hair. Tammy Faye Baker, I guess.

Y'all remember Tammy Faye?

Yeah this is just weird to me, because I grew up as poor white trash in Oklahoma and I heard "oh lawd" all the time, from basically anyone over fifty. It definitely had demographic associations, but they'd be more age and economic status. So when people raise this as a racial thing I just wonder whether there's a big chunk of coastal liberal America that thinks that only black people have southern accents and dialects. It's like if you said "y'all" in conversation and someone accused you of coopting black culture, it's just loving weird.

Malaysian here; odds are I'm terminally online, but I've always heard 'oh lawd' and the like associated with black people. When I think of whites from the American South, I think of genn'lmen slave owners, trailer parks with Confederate flags everywhere, survivalist gun nuts and people using "JEEEESUS" and various racial epithets as punctuation.

In some parts of america that may be associated with black people. In other parts of america that may be associated with southern people. The latter's experiences are just as valid as the former. Being a POC doesn't make your experiences inherently more or less valid than those of pink people.

The better response to learning that even a POC who lives in a whole different part of the country experiences a dumb phrase as racist is probably "oh I didn't know that was legit seen as racist sometimes, my bad I'll stop using it"


Unless you are somehow super personally attached to that particular meme it seems like a really dumb hill to die on

It’s not so much “this is AAVE and you can’t have it, piss off honkies” and more “this type of thing is used to be lovely to black people online, because it’s 2019 and of course it loving is.”

Should you be more interested, here’s articles that kind of get into what’s going on. While I personally hesitate to call it specifically digital blackface, because in this instance it’s slightly more muddied with the meme, it’s the closest word I can get:
https://www.teenvogue.com/story/digital-blackface-reaction-gifs
https://www.ussc.edu.au/analysis/what-is-digital-blackface
https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2018/jul/08/why-are-memes-of-black-people-reacting-so-popular-online

Alternatively, you can laugh and resist any sort of minor personal change or reflection, because that’s what goons do, and do well.

Sucks that the meme is saddled with this baggage because that is one chonky baby and is loving adorable.

Chonk is an incredibly ableist meme as well, unless you think it's hilarious that some people can't spell things properly because they're neuro-divergent. Turns out maybe sometimes we can just chuckle at a fat cat and move on without making sure someone knows we're upset.
