Is a black person speaking in the AAVE dialect contemptuous? It not, then how is SBF's way of speaking contempt?

SBF isn't a black person. Based on the absurd argument you're making here, I am going to assume you weren't aware of this.

Haha how is it absurd? It's the way he talks. The way someone talks isn't contempt.

It is if the reason they talk that way is contempt.

It is not if its not.

How is that a bad comment? I'm serious. The way a person naturally talks is ok and is never contempt. SBF says yup instead of yes. I usually say yeah. That's just how people talk.

It's a bad comment because it was a generic tangent that was very likely to lead (and indeed already did lead, a bit) to a flamewar about race.
