I would say something to them. Have an open dialogue. I'm over bottling things up and never saying how I really feel about things out of fear of being disliked. I'd rather be transparent and open. It sets the tone for real connections based on mutual respect for both the self and the other. When you hold your tongue in moments of injustice, it perpetuates that injustice. Even if the infraction seems minor, it holds onto an entire stigma. You really have nothing to lose but a fake friendship that was based on lack of true honesty and respect if you lose friends over this.

Lol. People all sound the same but there are some accents and mannerisms that are usually a dead give away.
Grrrr! I hate this soo much! Just because an "ethinic" person uses good grammer and diction, doe not EVEN mean they sound white!

Have you HEARD ig'nertt w wypipo? They sound Stupid!
We all deserve to decide, whenn, and when NOt to use formal language. I can speak pefect broadcast english, and work hard to sound good in any language.

Ihave pals, that get so frutrated with this, that they respnd with the thickest "urban acent" they can. Verbal, black face.

Next time you get this? Switch to a hillbilly accent
"Do ah soun' whyte naow?"

People need to get better at this, instinctual bigotry

@plaguewatcher I know but it’s actually my own people of color who treat me bad because I articulate idk of maybe it’s my friends circle or something but most of the black girls I meet tell me i sound white or have a baby voice and then tell me that’s why people think they can run over me
@Lexiitexii oh hun! I feel this! Tho i am a "blue eyed devil' white southerner.
I can easily abandon the regional accent.
In some parts of the US to speak in my family way, is a great benefit. ( upper class southern has amazing effect on loweer class southerners.)

To feel what you do, to be isolated thus. Is tragic.

There are lot of Califonians of african heritage that are like TOOOTally white sounding , and have been all their lives.

I am a natural mimic, useful.
But if i speak Hillbilly? It is assumed i am uneducated and practice insest.

i REALLY feel what you say.
And were we in the world? Id hug you sooo hard!

Talk with me ANYTIME

Frankly sounding intelligent and friendly is good, the fact that racism exists is bad, and the fact that sounding intelligent and friendly as a colored person makes them think you “sound white” is racist against black people, even black people have been shown to have negative racist attitudes and ideas toward black people in general, it’s something that’s been ingrained in a lot of people and it’s messed up in general

@th3r0n Bingo because it’s other black girls who tell me this they make fun of me and tell me
I sound white when I have met plenty of white people who don’t sound like me especially in the south they sound more country
th3r0n · 41-45, M
@Lexiitexii exactly, most southern white people sound like a country song (I'm white and from the south but I'm weird, I probably sound a lot like you)

It's just negative connotations to race that they've accepted and even decided to find favorable, which is an extreme level of deception
Ugh. Motherfuckers telling you that you sound white. Godammit
I think it's refreshing to hear, I hear getto talk or what ever it's called way to much. I didn't know white people had a certain way of talking, I know some have that lazy way of talking and trying to talk getto, honestly you just sound like a nice person. You don't sound any color.

Many assumed I talk like a white person, but I'm not white. Just let them think so, they can't really change how you talk or sound. I wouldn't complain about it and I don't know why they would. It's kinda stupid, to be honest.

Dump them, the one who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. Those who walk alone are likely to find themselves in places no one has ever been before

Because most whites literally think blacks must talk in a "black voice" I'm sorry you had to deal with that.
Lexiitexii · 31-35, F
@SkullsandBeauty it not white people who attack me for the way I talk it’s my own people of color
SkullsandBeauty · 26-30, F
@Lexiitexii huh odd

Other people's preconceived notions are just a reflection of their ignorance and prejudice. Don't react to them, just be your good self.. :)
Ryannnnnn · 31-35, M
Haha what is a white sounding voice?. What is a black sounding voice?. 🤣 I've always found that weird.
That is because many people have internalized the racist belief that only white people are capable of speaking standard English, without any colloquial “ticks” or regional accents. They even go so far as trying to shame people of color for doing so.
