[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, I think the other PP was reacting to your comment that "they are the people who don't know what code-switching means."

There are plenty of people who instinctively know how to get along with people of different backgrounds without slapping the label "code-switching" on their own behavior.

Your comment made it sound like you were faulting them for not having taken the same sociology classes or read the same articles as you did.  It's somewhat ironic that you'd write in a somewhat tone-deaf manner about the subject. [/quote]

I'm sure there are plenty of folks who code switch who don't know that term necessarily. Probably lots of older generation folks haven't heard it but live it, if that makes sense. I guess I meant more the behavior, than the name for it. They don't know what it means to have to do it or that people are even doing it around them because they are able to, and have been able to present just the one version of themselves. FWIW I never took a sociology class  :lol:

But that's fair that PP might have read that as tone deaf, its hard to write all the thoughts in a way that is concise. [/quote]
