Actually folks aren't making something out of nothing re AAVE in last night's episode (especially poc) and assuming the cast is full of safe people for a woc to call out - even playfully - is a white privilege and downplaying of those real issues. It's delightful and a relief to know that A herself felt comfortable and safe the whole time but it's not on white fandom to decide that was always true whether she'd have spoken up or not.
