Original Note:
The terms are not “Gen Alpha slang” but originate from Black culture and African American Vernacular English (AAVE). Depicting only white individuals in the thumbnail erases the Black cultural roots of these terms, continuing a pattern of whitewashing Black contributions. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/335581962_John_Russell_Rickford_Russell_John_Rickford_Spoken_soul_The_story_of_Black_English_New_York_John_Wiley_Sons_2000_xii_267_pp_Hb_2495
