Movie Reviews

The first video, by Fox News, seemed to me to be more of a cultural deficit. It places Ebonics below the standard English. They imply that those who use Ebonics are not fit to work in a professional atmosphere. This to me echoes a deficit not a difference. The second video seems to be more of a difference because they look at both and language as a whole to code switch. This places all of them on equal footing and that speaking different dialects is normal.
