Feedback gets rid of overt biases but leaves subtle racism intact.

Because there is no such thing as "African American English". There is proper English and then there is slang.

The Queen/king and no one else.
King Charles uses a variety called Received Pronunciation, but both of his sons (William and Harry) use Southern Standard British instead. Geoff Lindsey has a video on the differences.
As such, once William rises to the throne, what's considered "the King's English" will change. And, alongside it, what plenty people in the UK consider as standard English will change too.

What you call "proper English" (or "proper" any other language) is merely an arbitrary construct. It is not set on stone.
That applies to all levels of a language, by the way, not just vocabulary ("slang").

8 4 ReplyIt's bad enough the American's are too stupid to use the proper one that we have to have two.
But people talking incorrectly is not a reason to write like that. Unless it's a character speaking or whatever.
