Literally everyone in the world has an accent. These complaints are stupid, and they demean the complainers.

I’ve binged her show and seen her in several movies and never heard her sound “black”.
Well this seems like a waste of energy that accomplishes nothing.
The “C” still stands for “colored”, so... Asian? Colored? And if they wanted to just focus on black people they would have changed it to a “B” by now.
Listen, if people don’t even understand the difference between someone having an accent because they grew up in New York City (e.g. Awkwafina) vs someone putting on an accent that has nothing to do with their background for commercial gain (e.g. Iggy Azalea) then I doubt they will think for even a moment about where…
Seriously. I’ve never understood the problem and will never bother to try.
No.
Meaning they expect her to have a slight accent thus the quotation “” marks.
“Kelly Clarkson’s blaccent”
Nah, this is wasted backlash! Plus the NAACP has nominated racist pieces of shit before, including Donald Sterling. We need to choose our battles carefully and strategically. This ain't it!
Weird that you call it “blaccent” when I call it “average citizen from New York”
I like how people are mad at HER for a nomination granted to her by a third party.
I don’t understand the back lash. She’s a person of color thus the award. She’s from NYC thus the accent and attitude. Ya’ll never watched Nora from Queens or her YouTube videos? I think the people complaining want her to sound “Asian”?
Yeah I remember buying and reading the book for an english class assignment with my friend, then making a special trip to the city (small town boy) to watch the movie.
i was gonna read this but decided its a slide show and its not 2006
I think the math needs to be checked in a couple places. For T2, which came out in 1991, and Dark Fate, in 2019, that’s a difference of 28 years, not 18. And as another commenter mentioned, the math is also wrong for The Force Awakens.
It’s a great action movie, and the only one in the series to justify its existence since 1991.
I hate Jurassic World. It firmly cemented that franchise as “Hey, you want to watch people run away from things for 2 hours?” and Fallen Kingdom doubled-down on that.
How long since the last one? 12 years since Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, but that one was a prequel; 22 years since 1983's Return of the Jedi, to which it is the first proper sequel.
