Does it piss you off when you're accused of "being white"? I don't even know wtf people mean when they say that but it drives me nuts.

Well, when I was younger I was told by some blacks that I talked funny. As I got older, funny became "white". I was honestly kind of offended by it, initially.
However, as I grew older and entered varying environments (corporate, academic, social), I saw that people respected my well-spoken nature and mannerisms; seems as though most blacks set the bar pretty fucking low.
No matter for me. I plan on continuing to break the mold and doing something special one day.
