And the British! Americans saying things like 'bloody hell' and 'mate' is pretty funny though. It's like swearing - it's always much more heartfelt coming from a British person As for the topic, I agree with the whole Paris Hilton thing as well as the 'Hates her race and tries to blend in with whites in order to feel good about herself' doesn't really apply with the rest of the negative stereotypes pushed on young black women. I've found that black girls (and black guys) who do fit those 'hoodrat' stereotypes don't try and blend in with white people at all and make a point of showing everyone that they have as little to do with white people as possible.
My friend says mate n' shit when he texts, but he's just fuckin' around, when he texts and talks. It would be hella weird to heard somebody in my area talk like that for real.
The irony of the word mate, is that a lot of the time it is used to identify someone who really isn't a mate, usually a stranger. Thats how my circle of friends use it.
Same, yeah. My friends even use it in a patronising way, especially when football banter is involved.
Nor is she a hot topic amongst white people. Me? I'd prefer if she just faded into the background....kind of like this: And she was never heard from again. :smt081
