A character who stutters is constantly mocked by other characters — the musicians and producers view the stuttering as a burden/problem. One family member stands up for them regularly, but everyone celebrates the character when they don’t stutter.

Used liberally by Black characters among themselves. A few examples where a Black character is telling a story where a white person said it.
