If you can speak Ebonics and English, does that make you bilingual?

[deftron]

Just wondering cause this job I'm looking at requires
candidates to be bilingual, should I put it on my resume?

 

[Auryg]

Wouldnt Ebonics be considered a dialect of English?

 

[Black88GTA]

Do it. For added hilarity, write the entire resume in Ebonics. This demostrates "applied knowledge" and will impress potential employers!

 

[JulesMaximus]

No, it makes you a dumbass and the laughing stock of HR at every company you submit a resume to.

If you know and speak ebonics you are merely stupid and uneducated.

Why, because I am capable of determining when something is stupid? You have a lot to learn....or you are being sarcastic.

Don't forget to list "Pig-Latin" on your resume.

More like a bastardization.

I CAN speak ebonics if I choose to. And almost anyone who went to public school in a city probably can if they try. You look like an idiot if you are serious about it, but you don't have to pretend to be a thug to do it.

No it is not another language (though some stupid polititions want it to be, even though doing so just creates even more negative stereotypes towards minorities), just a dialect, or bastardization if that makes you happy. It's not any better or worse than any of the other dielects (bastardizations) that we have already (I know for sure it can't be any worse than what Bush speaks :laugh: ), just different.

[pray4mojo]

I didn't know that was possible, to speak ebonics and another language.

Ebonics is just slang derived from English, definitely not a different language.
