I bought a "mystery bundle" (kinda like a lootbox) of books from my local used books and one of the sci-fi novels written in ~2000-ish had a black character that talked like he was out of a 70s blaxploitation film. I get it, not everyone speaks “proper” English all the time, but felt like the author's only expose to black people was like Mr. T or something. I don't need every black character to be one of the "good ones" or anything like that but it just felt so weird they made him talk the he did. I just couldn't grasp a space black dude using what would be ancient slang in the future.
