I associate that variation specifically with non-native English speakers rather than a language evolution happening among native English speakers.

But you still understand it fine, no?
Why does it matter how you feel about language evolving(especially bringing race into it)?

Non-native English speakers is my favorite race.

I didn't say how I feel about it or anything about race.

Kids born in "native english" change the language too. For example, treat irregular verbs like regular ones. Languages evolve with time, regardless of non-native speakers using it.
