I presume it’s due to African American Vernacular English (AAVE), there is a cultural aspect there that is detectable through voice
Where are you from that just speaking would be enough to know your race? Similarly, what are you playing where this occurs? Just curiosity since I’ve never experienced this (from either side).

You’ve never heard of an accent?

An accent isn’t exactly a perfect indicator for race.

It’s an indication of ethnicity which is good enough for racists.

It’s not perfect, but it is an indicator. I mean if I heard someone talking with say a chinese accent I’d probably assume their race is asian.

I’m from the US. Some standouts where this occurred are battlefield, cod, counterstrike, and overwatch.
