A white lady criticized a commenter for trying to call her out for having a Nigerian accent, despite her growing up in Nigeria. Instead of addressing the actual issue of accent-shaming, another user shifted the blame to women, writing, “I know she is talking about jealous Nigerian women. cos a them get the energy to hate their fellow gender they find intimidating..” This statement is baseless, divisive, and unfair, as it assumes without evidence that only Nigerian women were responsible. It promotes harmful gender stereotypes, fuels unnecessary animosity between women, and distracts from the real problem of prejudice against accents.
