[quote=Anonymous]So this is only a question I could comfortably ask in an anonymous forum. My middle school DS, who is white, loves hip hop and wants to emulate hip hop culture dress and speech. There are a lot of limits I'm comfortable placing on this in terms of appropriate dress at school, language, etc. However, one thing he does is kind of adopt a "hip hop" way of speaking. This is fine, except that he also has many African American friends and what he's doing sometimes sounds like mimicking a stereotype of African Americans. I know this is not what he means to do but I want to be able to explain to him that this might be viewed as disrespectful or stereotyping and maybe he shouldn't do it. But is that reasonable? Or am I being ridiculous?[/quote]
