[quote=Anonymous]I teach 6th grade, big South Asian population at my school. Several of my Indian girls last year would joke around and adopt heavy accents and do impressions of Indian moms/aunties. “Beta” gets used liberally, and NO it’s not the alpha/beta male thing. I have noticed they also do it with non-Indian friends who do it back. It’s cute and affectionate and they all seem to have fun with it. But yeah, I would worry about my non-Indian kid doing it in public because it could seem like the white kid is mocking people with accents. I’d talk to her about time and place. [/quote]
