169. “I Thought You Were A White Man”

Description

For some people, the idea that the way you talk is largely determined by the color of your skin is a bit strange. But in the U.S., talking ‘like a black person’ or ‘like a white person’ is an idea that’s deeply ingrained in our culture. This episode is a short story that illustrates the idea and gives you a bit of context to help you understand it.If you want to listen to this show without interruptions from advertisers, subscribe to my patreon 👉 https://patreon.com/realenglishradio — Every dollar goes to funding my caffeine & nicotine addiction so I can stay sane enough to record another episode for you… much love.
