Awkwafina has faced criticism for cultural appropriation of AAVE and mannerisms stereotypic of the African-American community.[58][59] In 2018, she said, "I welcome that conversation because as an Asian-American identity, we're still trying to figure out what that is."[60] On February 5, 2022, Awkwafina tweeted, "My immigrant background allowed me to carve an American identity [...] as a non-black POC, I stand by the fact that I will always listen and work tirelessly to understand the history and context of AAVE".[61][62] Certain activists criticized this response as being several years late and unapologetic.[63][64] Conversely, Vulture writer Lauren Michele Jackson felt that Awkwafina does not "conjure blackness any more than Ed Sheeran's bars", adding that, "In conversations around Awkwafina's blaccent, the actress's regional and musical background has been used to both defend and attack her".[59]
