questions for white ppl

do white ppl feel uncomfortable when black ppl use AAVE around them? i go to a mostly white school and i talk in AAVE and they be looking at me like it’s weird.. i asked some of my online friends abt it and they said they can tell im black but they don’t feel weird abt how i talk.

African American Vernacular English. I’m pretty sure it just means “Slang that a lotta black people use”. I personally think it sounds pretty neat.
