If you wanted to try and impress them, see if you can try and place his accent by listening to different British dialects on YouTube or something. Makes you stand out from anyone else who just says "I love your accent".

That's not what they're saying. I think the point they are making is that saying "Asians eat dogs" is racist because we don't single out other nations for eating a specific type of animal.

"Aks" (or "ax") instead of "ask"is a dialectal variation that has ancient linguistic roots. It was a common form of the word in Middle English and was used by writers like Geoffrey Chaucer. The form "ask" gradually became the standard pronunciation around the 17th century, though "aks" persisted in various dialects and communities. While "aks" is a standard and grammatically correct pronunciation within African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and certain other dialects, it has been stigmatised as a mark of lower class or less educated speech, largely due to racism and linguistic prejudice.

Hi! I was watching a show & they were making cheese & onion sandwiches so I googled & it’s apparently a classic British sandwich. I found several recipes. Can you tell me what kind of cheese yall use & if the recipe I’m posting in the body sounds about right? Thanks.

I must say, I do have a fond memory of this song... On a stag do, in a Finnish karaoke bar in Tallinn, the song starts and about 5 different stag groups, from different parts of the UK, all congregated on the dance floor. Arm in arm, we belted out every word to that song. It was an almost religious experience.
