Hasan's thoughts on AAVE

I feel this point is obvious but needs to be reiterated: no one owns culture. The world exists to be enjoyed. You can be a white guy and like Japanese ramen. Or an Asian guy and like Greek food. Imagine trying to gatekeep things that make the world enjoyable, imagine how boring life would be if people only stuck to things their race/ethnicity created?

Instead of thinking in this shallow, stupid way, go out there and enjoy all the world has to offer, whether it's talking to people from different countries, or sampling their culture and enjoying it (and others! there are hundreds of countries!).

It's a xenophobic, stupid view to think "oh, you can only enjoy X culture if you are from X country".
