Was you might find this interesting, a few years back I heard an interview with an inner city NYC teacher (I think NPR) who as part of her class had the kids 'speak like a white person'. Her intent was to make it easier to be hired in the real world.

Heck when I was cold calling setting my own appointments one business answered 'Paint the White House Black productions'

Next time I'm at my bud Butchies I'll ask a young black man about cracka. I only visit occasionally.

Yeah and there was a time back in Quebec where some illiterate English people used to say 'speak white' to French Canadians and look what the result of that was.
