Harris Gonna Code Switch

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Pandering to your audience with a badly faked accent is good, you see. Acadame approves.

[Vermont Lt]

I want to see her start rattling off in Quebecois.

[Honorary Serb]

“All the news we fit to print!”

[Dr. Sivana]

Actually, using “them” instead of “him” IS a symptom of the collapse of Western Civilization.

[maro]

Code switching is fine if you speak both codes. But when she makes up her dialect, it sounds ridiculous. Like Hillary.

[ifinnegan]

Leftist academic jargon is meaningless idiocy.

[exnavy]

I bet she knows pig latin.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

“Ich bin ein Berliner” comes to mind. “I am a doughnut.”

[ifinnegan]

“ I want to see her start rattling off in Quebecois.”

She was too stupid to learn any French.

[Reno89519]

So, she’ll speak in her native Hindi?

[clintonh8r]

mark

[Languager]

Yes, exactly. It is fine if the speaker genuinely has both codes. Harris sounds terribly fake, though. I’m surprised McWhorter defends her.

[FirstFlaBn]

Conjugate the verb ‘to be’ in Ebonics.

I be.
He be.
She be.
They be.

[Skywise]

“Code switching” is approved when Democrats do it.

When Awkwafina did it? Not so much.

When voice actors did it? It’s cultural appropriation.

In short this guys a retard. It’s not “code switching” when you pander to your audience.

It’s called pandering to your audience.

[GraysonFL]

They are always coming up with new broader terms to replace the simpler ones that already said it all. In this case the correct words are FAKE, PHONY, and FRAUD

[BenLurkin]

Code-switching is perhaps best known in reference to alternating between different languages, such as English and Spanish.

Asinine. And ignorant.

Neither are a code and both are related to each other through the introduction of 'romance' (started as Latin) language into England by the Normans

[Waverunner]

Arnold is not amused.
New Campaign picture of tough on crime Khammie...

[cgbg]

Code switch = fraud.

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

“Dey gonna put y’all back in chains.”. That kind of code switching?

[Jonty30]

Most minorities code switch when they are dealing with general America and when they are dealing with their own kind.

Mario Lopez talked about how he had to speak a certain when talking to Americans, but then he could switch his words when he was speaking to his friends in the Latino community.

Harris, of course, will use it to pander.
