Maybe it isn’t “copying” so much as just adopting the slang of the times? My black high school students thought I must be “mixed” because I say y’all. I’m not copying anybody’s race or culture, just talking in a dialect that also belongs to white people. If a black person refrains from using hip-hop slang, and doesn’t use ebonics pronunciation, are they “copying” white people?
