Why do some people think they have to change who they are and talk a certain way just because they are talking to people of a different race?

Like some people will say what up dawg when talking to black people or say they love eating noodles when talking to Asian people.

Nobody has told me they like noodles but I have had encounters where someone talks slower and louder to me because they assume I'm fresh off the boat and have questionable English. Jokes on you because I am pure american and have zero accent so ha ha ha
