    Idk, I've never met a white person who uses y'all in person, tho I've never lived in the deep south but still. It feels like appropriation to me when I see some :maybe-later-kiddo: lib on Twitter using it in some condescending manner.

      "But still" what? This is a you thing. You even acknowledge that! What else remains?

        Well I meant that Southern white people get a pass but if you have lived in Chicago or Minneapolis or somewhere white people don't normally use y'all it feels weird to me.

        Idk. Yeah I guess it is a me thing. I'm not condemning anyone for it, it just bugs me lol

      I’ve been found out. I’ve been living in the south my entire life solely to give myself cover while I culturally appropriate the word y’all

      log off and just talk to people. fuck twitter libs - this is the most pointless struggle session that exists nowhere but in the deep bowels of hell. offline, no one blinks if you use y'all appropriately.
