I think he’s actually validating it in a way, because you see a lot of transplants over compensate by trying to correct pronunciations and going OD on ny stereotypes like bodegas, timbs, etc

If you don’t fit the stereotype, you’re often branded a transplant. I’ve had a number of people guess I’m from Westchester or Ohio or some shit just because I’m a white dude that doesn’t walk around with a fitted and timbs despite being born here.

Annoying but most people are superficial like that or just too lazy to get to know someone.
