Unsurprisingly, people are not happy about this.

Notes app apology from awkwafina

twitter rage quit

isn't she a person of color though?
she's not white

No f***ing way

NAACP isn’t a strictly African American organization anymore

Do they not know that? What NAACP means now?

That's not the bone of contention, it's her history of using a blaccent

i see nothing wrong here. NAACP isn’t about black folks in general.

They know that.

I just thought it was cause she was from queens, plus the character she's nominated for does she use that accent?

Imagine getting some award and thousands of ppl tell you to kill yourself. S***s crazy

I’m from nyc. Harlem and the Bronx. Most people talk like that regardless of color.

Just depends where you grew up

Is Awkwafina's blaccent a gimmick she used to get on or is she really in the culture?

National Association for the Advancement of Colored People

For those who don’t wanna google it

Lots of Asian people who lived in NY or that area claim on tik tok that s*** fake. They say despite living there and learning English they don't have a blaccent.

So idk if awk really talks like that or she stretches it hard for her movie roles

The most aggressively forced actress in recent memory

J Balvin is not "poc" ☠

I like her

Clearly a gimmick

What do you think? Take a wild guess

minstrelsy nd negrophilia is wild

She playing herself by getting involved, just fanning the flames cuz now twitter sees her as vulnerable and affected, she empowering her slanderers

Nigga she does not naturally talk like that.

I'll never forgive the industry for letting this lame ass woman get on.

Were they doing that? Jeez I didnt read her Twitter but damn. I'm black and dont care that she got nominated for that, but that's just ridiculous man. Internet can be a f***ed up place man it ain't that serious

I've never heard this woman speak. When you say blaccent does she talk like she is black or something?
