We regret to inform you that Tom Hanks’ son Chet is doing that weird (and pretty problematic) “Caribbean accent” again.
After causing confusion earlier this year at the Golden Globes with a viral video in what appeared to be a “Jamaican” or “Caribbean” accent, Chet posted a video about the election result in the same accent following Joe Biden’s victory over Trump.
In the video, Chet poked fun at the idea that we should show Trump “respect” just because he was the president.
Chet is back at it again. https://t.co/UrpAIS0nsH— her name is cyn. (@her name is cyn.) 1604772980
On social media, people were pretty divided about the accent and video.
Some thought it was hilarious, but others thought it was odd.

I want to know what goes through Tom Hanks son because he’s truly chaos in human form https://t.co/nwaAlcYMLs— Loella🐝🇨🇴 (@Loella🐝🇨🇴) 1604826736
And some people called out the fact that he’s mimicking other Caribbean accents. Chet has previously slapped down accusations of "cultural appropriation" in his videos.
We know Trump loves Twitter, so maybe he's seen the video. We bet he could use the pick-me-up.
