what audio processing issues make it so that you can't understand black people white women and "their accents"

Yeah sorry I actually can't listen to Billie Eilish or Taylor Swift. Yeah no I have audio processing issues so I can't understand it when white women sing pop music. Their accents are just so hard to understand, you know? I can't handle the sound of vocal frying, either. Hurts my ears. It's actually super ableist that you expect me to listen to them :/

#broadcast #no offense. but this is nuts. do you not see how the whole messaging and rhetoric of ppl who act this way is that black people #are a monolith with accents that are sooo difficult to parse (and totally different from white people rapping!)#and how the theoretical person here deflects promptly onto ableism rather than examining why they can't listen to black people specifically
