Interesting, Interesting..........I would have to say that this whole "talking white" thing is has become so old and redundant. I swear if somone says something like that to me, I immediately put them in their place. I once had this male friend and I would always correct his english he would just say that he was more "street" like than I was so we speak differently I guess thats better than saying talking white or black. Honestly though peoples speaking styles are more class related than race related, not to say that all poor people speak incorrectly(lord knows I speak fine and I am by no means rich) but more middle class and wealthy people have acces to better educations therefore they are surrounded with people who speak and act a certain way. I have been to some schools in bad areas and let me tell you some of those teachers speak horribly, they do not even correct the children when they speak incorrectly..........As far as that couple goes, my thing would be if they are so different and he embarasses her so much then how is that they came to be? I mean if I am with a guy who may not speak or act like I do there must have been some kind of attraction and if I love him enough to marry him, I must accept him if I accept him for who he is then I suppose anyone I come in contact with will have to also or steer clear. If he was willing to accompany me to an office Christmas party I would take him, if he is my husband then I love him no matter what. He would not have to change who he is to "fit" in with anyone as long as he "fits" with me
