Guest Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 11 minutes ago, PETTY said: "It’s not offensive but it kinda is" we- so, since the ignorance is starting early in this thread: yes it is offensive. It doesn’t matter if Sophia plays into it or not, she’s trying to get by as a WOC in Hollywood. It doesn’t make it OK or right. Ellen saying "after 10 years and your accent has gotten worse" is extremely offensive and uncalled for. There is nothing wrong with joking about accents. But if all you do around a person is mock their accent then its wrong. Thats what I said in my first comment.. For example, if someone made a Gay joke, I would be fine with it as a Gay person. But if thats all you joke about and you bring it up every single time you see me, then something is wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartz 11,923 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Sofia has been guesting on Ellen for numerous occasions spanning years. Why? I don't know, maybe because they're FRIENDS. We can cancel her for the horrible working conditions, but come on. Cancelling her for this? This is comedy. God, going PC on jokes, how lame. Inside, we are really made the same. 🕊 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlepotter 72,831 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Why are we deciding on behalf of Sofia or Latinx people if it's offensive? It's their opinion that counts and no one else's. If you are neither I don't see why you're giving your two cents. chaeri pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to get too riled up about. My mom has a strong "arabic" accent I make jokes about it sometimes it's not that deep imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again as a mexican myself with a very obvious accent to north american ears I am not bothered by it and in my opinion it seems she wasn´t bother either. I also expressed that IF a close person to me makes fun of it I don't feel hurt because there is a good and close relationship. I don´t know Sofia nor Ellen at a personal level and I don't know what kind of relationship they have off camera (we don´t know if this is how they interact in real life when cameras are off). I don't condone what Ellen did I just expressed my opinion based on my personal experience as a mexican that has dealt with this type of situations.
