    pretty sure y'all is either racist and/or an example of cultural appropriation. Either an appropriation of the original Scottish version of "you all", a thoughtless racist echo of the southern-plantation-derived plantation owner dialect, or an appropriation of AAVE.

    best to abandon y'all, you guys

    People who are overly militant about anti racism end up sounding like the very racists they’re against.
