Today we are talking about something you've likely done a million times before without knowing there's a term for it. We're talking about code-switching which is when you change your language or appearance to fit in and adapt to the dominant environment around you. There are many times and ways people code-switch but we focus today's discussion (like all discussions) on what this means in the context of systemic racism. 

There are so many funny and satirical examples of code-switching in pop culture! Watch these great clips that'll brighten up your day:

  • Buzzfeed video on code-switching with Benjamin
  • Big Mouth clip and catchy song about code-switching 
  • Key and Peele President Obama Meet and Greet
