Was Chris happier when he was being trolled? (2008-2010) -

[Marvin]

Oh no, Lars was amazing.

Its likely just me coming from a highly mixed country, 60% black 40% white, but his voice was just so aggravatingly fake. I don't even care if that was the joke. I've dealt with the REAL black community, I do every day.

That Lars Phone call was just a pain to go through.

A different country? English is extremely varying within the United States, let alone internationally.

 

[A-Stump]

Lars didn't really bug me. I couldn't sit through the entire call but that's because of the obscene length (longer than the average movie) and the fact that the most of it is him saying 'shit' and then Chris mumbling. There are funny bits but it's more mediocre than offensive in terms of quality.

Yeah, it seems kind of weird to say a "highly mixed" country. Parts of the U.S. are predominantly white, but anyone who lives in a big city can easily interact with people of all races on a daily basis.

 

[milkshark]

I've never been able to listen to Lars (and shit) for more than 6 seconds.

No.

I live in a place that is predominately black people, yet I am white. Thats why I think Lars was crap, I have too much of the real thing to base it on.

 

[Silver]

I love the part where Lars says Chris is gay and Chris agrees with him because he doesn't realize what Lars is saying.

Yes, but my point is that if you're talking about a foreign country, then your impression of black people and black dialects would be much different from what would be correct in the United States. What you're talking about wouldn't be the real thing as it applies to Lars.

Yeah, black people in the U.S. are going to be different than black people in another country. Same as white people are going to be different when you go from the U.S. to Germany or wherever.

Where do you live?

 

[Some JERK]

People in southern California are different than people in Michigan, Louisiana, or Georgia.

This includes the black people. Living in an area that is predominately black doesn't really make you an African American dialectologist.

 

[TrippinKahlua]

Where do you live?

Bahamas. One of the smaller islands.

And you're right when you say that those from a different country would act differently. Black people from here are a lot more aggressive, but they usually keep to themselves.

 

[Alec Benson Leary]

Has anyone here ever been to Rand McNally?

Down there, black people wear hats on their heads, and hamburgers eat people.

Well yeah, but actually, a lot of significant aspects of African American English dialects are pretty uniform throughout the United States, maybe up into Canada, but I don't know quite as much about Canada. Possibly because of migrations of freed slaves after the civil war.

Also, I don't want to give the idea that I'm an expert or anything on the subject of english dialects or anything like that. There are just a few aspects of the subject that I've read about and found interesting. (In particular, this map I've found to be really neat)

 

[A-Stump]

To be fair a lot of black people I've had the misfortune to meet in real life sound a lot more stereotypically cartoonish than Lars did. And that's hilariously bad.

 

[A-Stump]

How about no. They were shitty people and I regret meeting them. I've met white trash I could do without being around too.

 

[A-Stump]

What do you ever mean?

 

[Carlson]

You sound like you're saying you had the misfortune to meet black people in real life.

 

[A-Stump]

Yeah and the people I'm referring to, it was nothing short of unfortunate. I've been around groups of shitty people from every skin color and ethnicity. In this instance I referenced a very specific group of black people in my life because it pertained to the subject

Congratulations everyone, autism award for this thread.

 

[Alec Benson Leary]

I think A-Stump may be referring to people who behave exactly like stereotypes, which is not a thing constricted by race/ethnicity. There are stupid people from all walks of life who find self-identification to be difficult and scary, and would rather behave less like people and more like amalgamations of tv tropes.
