If races sound different "scientifically", then why do Latinos have such a wide range of accents? Camila Cabello and 6ix9ine are from both of comparable racial background but sound way different. That's a common thing.

I think it's just that AAs have been passing down accents for generations, which is why you can usually tell if someone is black just by hearing them. Although I'm not sure how this works with people born in the US of Caribbean descent.

You are skewing the argument. The are not interchangeable terms.

"Acting white" is a broad term with many interpretation and meanings. You are talking a small discussion and stretching it over a wide range of issues, many issues it may not even fit into.
Nah "talking white" is just an indicator somebody may "be on some white people shyt".
Just like hearing a tryhard cac with a "blaccent" vs an actual hood white vs regular ass white.
2/3 of them are on some harmful shyt, defacto.

Acting and action are literally two words that have the same root word: act
:mjlol:

And when we say someone is acting white 9 times outta 10 is due to how they talk

So Jim Crow had no hand in blacks being pigeonholed and internal division?:dahell:
You're confusing/conflating "jim crow" with the debunked "willie lynch" theory.
Law was law and no mode of speech could change that.
Ironically, the leaders of the Civil Rights Movement didn't "talk white" at all.

NY brehs don't say y'all.
Southern whites do.
Where you from?
One-city/state nikkas, Canadablacks, and UK brehs: this thread is NOT for you.
No, Southern Whites say "yaw", we say "yall", unless you grew up in a cac neighborhood.
Are you saying Blacks in NY say "you guys" and "you all"...lol. Probably the ones who grew up in a White neighborhood do. So exactly what do they say? Every Black person I've met from NY, at least NYC, say "yall". One of my closest buddies is from Brownsville, same area Mike Tyson is from. Being a Vietnam Vet, he's about 14 or 15 years older than Tyson. But you'd never catch either one of them saying "you all or "you guys", especially while coming up in Brownsville.
