Sociolinguistic Artifacts

Just a quick CONTENT WARNING for this one (extremely racist) -- this YouTube channel (with 5.41 M subscribers at this time) exploits the accents of L2 English speakers, varieties associated with queer people, and AAL to create prank call videos. It relies on stereotyping (such as an Indian scam caller) to create the butt of jokes. One voice actor mimics several different races coupled with animated pictures. This is one of hundreds of videos on the channel. Clear example of someone with an accepted variety profiting off of stigmatized varieties.
