I’ve noticed that many white people are very judgmental of various linguistic differences and accents involving the English language when it comes to non-white people, and especially when it’s AAVE. Cockney is an example of an English variation that is about the same deviation from standard English as AAVE (maybe more), yet I’ve heard white Americans say that people speaking it “sound smart”.
