Why do some consider using proper English "talking white"?

Asked by Blackberry (33949points) March 23rd, 2010

You know…..when someone who is non-white speaks in an articulate manner, they aren’t just doing so, they are said by some to be speaking ‘white’. I like to argue that this is simply the correct way we use our language. Yes, caucasians are the majority, but does that mean it is their language or what?
