Is this the new term for ebonics and is ebonics offensive now or inappropriate?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

Essentially, yes. Ebonics isn’t inherently offensive or inappropriate, as far as I can tell, but it has connotations that are not attached to AAE. Linguists avoid the term today, and modern uses of it tend to be derogatory.
