Have ya'll ever seen this before? it's a weird thing.
I have this co worker. who talks in a normal way (not steortypical) when he's talking to me or other black peers.
but every time he's in a convo with a white people he changes in the following ways:
1. the tone of his voice gets higher (almost feminine)
2. he talks in kind of happy go lucky sounding way. ie "There you go Dave!" "The Cubs were a great team Dave!" "That's not good Dave"
3. he says their name after everything he says.
4. he has an obviously fake laugh after anything they say. even if it's not supposed to be funny.
5. The most annoying: i'll be sitting in the vicinity working on something (having nothing to do with the convo). and he'll go "is that right Justise?" I always ignore him when he does that.
what's the deal
