I remember moving from Southern California to Illinois when I was 14 and we attended a Black church in E. St. Louis and I was told all the time I was a white girl or you talk proper or you talk white!!! Which was confusing to me because all the black people I knew in California and at my school talked the same way white ...I found myself practicing with my sister in the kitchen while washing dishes to blend in better when Im in E. St. Louis it seemed it came more natural for her but I ended up sounding more like a white southerner. :/
