'SNL' star Michael Che responds to cultural appropriation backlash over recent sketch
The sketch was titled 'Gen Z' hospital and featured Elon Musk using modern slang
"Saturday Night Live" star Michael Che responded after a sketch he wrote during Elon Musk’s May 8 episode was accused of cultural appropriation.
On Monday, the "Weekend Update" actor revealed he was the writer behind a sketch titled "Gen Z Hospital" that featured Musk and cast members Kate McKinnon, Mikey Day, Heidi Gardner, Ego Nwodim and Bowen Yang in the waiting room of a hospital as they waited to hear news about their injured friend and relative.
The gimmick of the sketch was that each person spoke almost entirely in slang phrases like "bestie," "Go off, king," "sis," "pressed," "bro," "cringe" and more. While the characters in the sketch were supposed to be synonymous with Gen Z culture, many were quick to note that most of the lines were phrases used in African American Vernacular English (AAVE). This prompted people to suggest that the sketch was appropriating Black culture with mostly White cast members.

But Elon Musk is African American. What’s the problem?

Afro-American or not, I'm still not getting the problem.
Seems like this was just SNL being SNL.
Maybe some people need to dial back on the woke screeching.

Hang out with a celebrity sometime if you want the ultimate mind bending reality experience. It makes DisneyWorld look like a crappy local temporary amusement ride fair.
No doubt SNL is a sea of paradoxes but you have to understand how these people think when they are at full party hilt versus the next morning.

I thought this was quite funny about a black teacher making fun of white peoples names.
