Why Do So Many Female POCs Choose to Mimic The Valley Girl Accent?

[Quasi]

They ingest too much reality TV...All women on reality and stupid chick sitcoms talk like that.
Its like a dismissive condescending tone..Like how rich white girls in the valley talk to their moms. I think thats how it started in the 80's

damn.. it goes deep breh. I agree on the reality TV too.. cause they've got to be getting the template from somewhere.

It just sounds forced and fake on some female POC...I agree i don't know they're upbringing and Im from Cali. So I hear it a lot from all colors.



Sometimes I'm just like . I think they pick it up on campus too. It's an interesting topic

Trina from the Braxton family values and Melissa(the gay female) from Love and HIp hop Atlanta. I don't know who talks worse. How the hell you live in Atlanta and talk like a valley girl?

even valley girls dont usually talk like that, but once that show started most bytches started copying how they talked and sounding extra whiny, shyt is so annoying. Basically most women here talk like that now

a couple years ago, i went to the mexican consulate to get my mexican passport. this young mexican chick walks in, she had a very native, aztec queen looking face, nice slim body too.

. . . . . then she opened her mouth with the . . . . "ohh my god . . can some like tell me where the id line is" basically she was sounding like a kardashian

 

[freetroit]

Yup low key hoes love the sound of that voice

And they start doing it subconsciously

Because subconsciously they pretty much all worship white women

They think that valley girl accent is the "proper" way to speak English. It's so sad

They watched too much Laguna Beach instead of paying attention in school

So, now articulating yourself and speaking properly means that you're mimicking White people living in the Valleys of California? How sad. This mentality is whats pushing Black ppl back. You'll notice as you go up in the education and corporate ladder that everybody is speaking properly.

Feel free to quote me where I said it isn't ''speaking properly''. Never said a word about articulation or enunciation.. I just spoke on how a large number of people adopt an accent that isn't natively theirs.
And believe me, I spend a lot of time around well educated folks. Myself being one.
