I wouldn't worry about the truth of the matter; there's a US-centric cultural axe to grind here.

- mewpmewp2 3y agoI am not a native english speaker, but as a teenager I definitely used weird slang - actually I still do in my private conversations - that if had to be perceived by someone would definitely seem unprofessional, etc. But I would have been perfectly capable of changing wording to type grammatically correct version of the language expected anywhere in professional situations. Is the author implying that African Americans wouldn't be able to do that? Isn't that implication a bit racist in itself? E.g. are they saying that given a professional context they wouldn't be able to use the Standard English? I have seen plenty of African Americans or any race be able to speak grammatically decent standard English, wherever they are from. The whole thing feels like trying to trick the LLMs. If they were to use slang or private conversations of anyone versus standard American English it would be perceived as lower int/lazy.
