I grew up in low income Massachusetts, my entire friend circle spoke a certain way. Black kids, white kids, Latino kids, all talkin like broke Boston boys. But my family was completely white. And then my work was with kids. So I changed my accent maybe 50-60 times a day lol

How about that age-old question that you get when your coding switching is, in fact, better than the person you're in conversation with, "You're not from around here, are you?" 😂

LMFAOAOAO I LOVE HER SM

I work in the tech department at a financial company, as product manager, and for the longest I’ve talked more to the maintenance staff and the security guards than the employees. The cleaning ladies and handy men are all Hispanic, and majority of the security staff is black, and I’ve noticed how much more louder I am around them and how much more I laugh and genuinely smile.

All facts

This is hysterical and spot-on but...at the same time, it IS sorta stereotyping. Not all black folk or latinos talk or act this way, nor do all white women act as 'safe' as the one in this video. More than anything, it IS all about socioeconomic status more than anything. Where you grew up....how you were raised...the educational level of your parents...your own educational level.... whether you are well-travelled or not...the circles in which you now run....who are you friends with... your job environment, etc. Sure, all these things DO often fall along lines of race, but definitely not always. I wish we'd stop focusing on race or skintone, and more on socioeconomic status. That is the TRUE dividing line, and the one that causes the most challenges for people to improve their lives.

I agree that this does not represent ALL people of color and that there are some circumstances where socio-economic class may be a driver. However, research shows “code-switching” is a tactic that is disproportionately used by POC to adapt and thrive in different contexts. It can be perceived as a stereotype (inflexible statement applied to an entire group) if people see this video and think it represents the lived experiences of ALL POC. My best hope is that they realize some POC choose not to code switch or may not know how to code switch. In my experience, I see it more with POC who are educated, well travelled, and either grew up in or had social mobility to middle or upper echelons of society. Many of them have learned to function in diverse contexts with different social norms. Also, albeit on a much lower scale, I’ve witnessed this with whites who grew up poor, but who had rich relatives or had social mobility themselves. They learn to “fancy it up” when around their rich relatives or to adapt so they can effectively function in their childhood norm and also their new norm.

I believe EVERYONE, literally everyone does this in the UK at some times, whatever colour they are. 'Even' middle class people have very different ways of talking for formal, vs colloquial or work contexts. People speak more la di dah with their acting or fashion friends, maybe including some gay slang, people speak more formally on the phone and close to RP with non-anglophone foreigners, they drop into modern London English (not cockney) to add more creativity and flavour to their tales of the weekend to their mates. The Sun newspaper et al ("the red tops") are pretty much surviving in print on the strength of their creative & very colloquial-infused headline writing (and copy) which is a big part of national current affairs. Thus our leaders are inevitably given slang names or eg certain policies re-named : Bojo followed by 'Lettuce Liz" (Boris Johnson & Liz Truss, prime ministers of the UK) I'm wondering if this is maybe a historical legacy of the (posh) Norman & Roman invasions vs the Celts and Anglo-Saxons (all immigrants at some point in history but more earthy local lifestyle). [Also there were definitely black people amongst the Romans and maybe the others] But I've heard of german-influenced local vernacular in USA and surely there's more variations along those lines amongst different majority-white communities? Obviously racism and race-related power structures are at play in the way SOME language variations are treated vs others - that is what is most tiring and must be addressed. But the "work", and the joy, of code-switching happens all over the shop (all over the place).

I agree with you but tell that to the majority. As a minority, we still work with a lot of white people, and while many of them are not racist and genuinely decent people, there’s alot of biases we have to deal with and manage around. A lot of folks I work with do absolutely judge and hold things against you, and while I know folks will want to use the defense of “oh durr durr, well you must work with terrible people!”, it’s not that they’re bad people it’s that folks in general have natural biases. This is part of why diversity and inclusion are a thing, and why I do employ code switching and I absolutely do see the difference when I, as Hispanic, sound more white and omit discussing things that I normally talk to my Hispanic family and friends. It’s the reality despite how much you want to say we should focus on other things.

I wish that Santa existed, I also wish that I was a millionaire, I wish my parents didn’t have to goto underfunded segregated schools, also I wish that this country didn’t place such a high emphasis on a person’s race for a few centuries. However, it did… and the remnants of that isn’t Going to disappear overnight. So it just is what it is.
