Like "Do y'all Bernie Bros not know Bernie be racist af?"

Why do online white liberals write like that?

    "y'all" is fine, most other languages have a word for it and it's just normal. Day y'all or youse or whatever to your heart's content.

    "X be like" is definitely in the still-racist limbo that terms go through when they're imported from the American black community into non-black American life. But if you (specifically you, Mayo-American) use terms like, "X is the bomb" or "X game is on point" or "chilling out" you're still using appropriated terms they've just exited the limbo and nobody cares anymore.

        I feel ridiculous using it because I'm not a cowboy but it is a convenient word. I also can't use "youse" because I'm not from new joisey either.

        "You guys" is what I used to say but I don't like that it's not completely gender neutral even if you could make an argument that "guys" here is used in a gender neutral way, much like "dude" can be which I do use a lot.
