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.
