It is pretty pathetic seeing as how my family did nothing to help the situation. They did not teach me the language, and they did not teach me the culture.
I didn't help the situation, using words with more than five letters. LoL. And being monotone made it even worse... add pompous and arrogant. ( ahh, I'm revealing the real me, underneath the introversion )

He's a Republican! LoL
Anyway, the answer to your question is "yes."
And anyone who displays a modicum of class and education is also branded as a sellout. I believe that this applies also in tthe black community. The black equivalent to "coconut" is "oreo." Sad stuff, really.
Now, I wonder if this is problematic in the Anglo culture. What do ignorant "whites" think of the educated? They can't say "you think you're white!" LoL

If a sellout in the black community is an "Uncle Tom", then what is a sellout in the Mexican/Hispanic? An "Aunt Maria"?
