Where Do Other Races Fit into the Black/White Binary that Often Governs Race in America?

No matter your ethnic background, the way you speak and act is dependent on who you grew up with and where you were raised. Yet, no one really says, "wow you talk so Asian" or "you act so Native American" as compared to, "wow you talk so Black" or "you act so White". For some reason, every race other than Black and White fall under a binary between these races. It is as if these two backgrounds are used as an umbrella term of certain values and attributes within a person.

So where does everyone else fall in? And what defines Black and White?

Again, it depends on where you come from. An Asian kid who grew up in the Bronx will obviously sound a lot different than an Asian kid who grew up in England.

But what are these attributes that define a Black person and a White person? Is it the way they talk? A lot of people associate the use of incomplete sentences and slang with "speaking Black" and if a Black person doesn't speak this way, then they are not "Black enough". But isn't this a belittlement to our own, as people of color? Saying that everyone who is not White speaks Black, meaning we speak illiterately? In this YouTube video, Tre Melvin says, "There ain't nothing wrong with adding a little urban twist to the way you speak". But he also states in his video that there are people who over do it. 

"You Talk Like A White Boy"

In this video, an Asian American man named David So states how people accuse him of having an identity crisis for, "sounding Black", when in fact he grew up in an area that was predominately inhabited by Black people, obviously influencing the way he speaks. He also states that there are people who over do the slang, making themselves sound uneducated. 

"I'm Not Black! You're Not Black ENOUGH!"

Through both of these videos, both Vloggers are stating that the way people speak depends on how a person was raised and where they grew up. And to shun people for not speaking a specific way is pure ignorance. How are we as people of color going to grow if we push our own away for sounding different and conforming to the "White man's proper ways"? So if the White people are the "proper ones", who are we?
