Bonkers 29,009 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 That's really how it was! White people just didn't know, for real. I mean, have you watched Friends lately? I agree it's racist, but it's the ignorant kind, not one that comes from an intentional place of malice.

Born in Chromatica 7 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Mocking someone's accent when they are trying to speak a second language, real classy. FaShIoN iS mY pAsSiOn! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRR 3,996 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 That is Sofia's brand, her accent and her sexuality, so Ellen was purposefully promoting it as it's all Sofia talks about on talk shows. Ellen might be the devil but Sofia is clearly in on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babel 41,308 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Those “jokes” were always uncomfortable to watch, specially Sofia’s reaction to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weed 72,798 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I agree it's cringy but Vergara has done a lot with her accent lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yes and 4,884 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I don't like Ellen either, but where were all these evidences a few months ago? Why do people start noticing such things when a person messed up? lmao Did you think I'd show up in a limousine? No Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I just find that more rude than anything This. I don't think this can be considered racist... Just a very rude try at mocking the accent of someone who made her comedic career in the US by mocking her own accent. You guys know, they run their interviews with each other and their PR teams before recording it, right? And you know it is taped and edited, not actually live, so it is agreed between both parts of the people involved in the show? It doesn't make the jokes ok, or even funny for that matter, but saying Sofia was damaged by this or that it is racist is a big reach. IDGAF Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I just find that more rude than anything I think in the context of a white person doing it toward a POC, it's symbolic of some deeper (maybe subconscious, not always personal but more systemic) disrespect. It's weird to think that jokes like this were definitely normalized back in the 2000s to like the earlier 2010s compared to now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
