    I don’t know that this counts as disrespectful, so much as the custom of English to change and adapt on exposure to anything.

    At best it could be called informal, which is in line with its source material (the meme)

      Okay, then, show us the places in America actual AAVE isn’t looked down on or made fun of, and allowed in school in tests and homework by white people.

      We’ll wait.

        And you’ll be waiting a long time. I won’t lie and tell you that AAVE is not looked down on by many, but I also won’t tell you that other vernaculars are accepted as The Englishtm.

        Yinz accepted even outside its provincial origin, but is still disallowed in tests/essays and other formal applications as a consequence of being vernacular.
