On social media, people chimed in about cultural issues and misunderstandings. “This is what happens when *in-group speak* is broadcast to people who have zero Black cultural competency and have never been around Black people in a familial setting,” one person tweeted. “It’s obvious to us what [Foxx] meant, but our own cultural context has zero value or consideration outside of us.”
Another person wrote, “AAVE getting dissected by people outside of the community and then Black people having to apologize for it is but another example of folks superimposing their culture into ours.” Some people said Aniston now owes Foxx an apology. Others suggested that in the future, the actress should ask about someone’s meaning and intentions “before blasting” them.
