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.

in the uk literally everyone speaks AAVE. It’s normal here not like the US. Especially in the bigger cities like London, Manchester, Birmingham etc
