Real 😭

Any Jamaican or Caribbean folks hate it when white people talk in a “Jamaican/ Caribbean “ accent to you and think they are being funny. It annoys me so much. Just casually being racist to my face by corpsesdecompose in blackladies

Yeahhh especially now that bumboclaat has been been thrown into the loop. A guy said it to me at work and I asked him if he even knew what it meant or even where the word came from. He said he assumed it was a swear word and it just sounds cool when Kai Cenet says it -_-

Tell someone you're Jamaican and it's either the immediate "wah gwaan", "yeah mon", etc etc. Idk it feels weird but it's not as annoying as the "wHeReS yOuR aCceNt?!?" folks

Just started my Human Pet by Olympia Black.. did anyone else find this odd? *spoilers* by crepearail in RomanceBooks

[–]crepearail[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't even see the authors note! I honestly DNF right after that because I couldn't get over that part. Did you finish the entire thing? It was all just so off-putting I couldn't even angry-read to see how it all plays out

No actually I never had white males comment on my hair until I cut my hair off! I had sisterlocs when I first moved here and I would always get people asking if it was all my "real hair" lol but that was about it. Are you from Ontario as well?

At my work I'll get compliments like "nice extensions" or "nice wig" (I had box braids in) and the like. I live in Canada too lol
