If a person identifies with an ethnicity society has this weird expectations that this person must act like their ethnicity. If they do not they are labeled as not enough. For people who attend or grow up in predominantly white areas, this is a common frustration. In societies terms speaking "proper" means you sound white. Society continues to put black people in boxes and not wanting them to express themselves in individualistic ways. If you act "too Black" then you are deemed ghetto and ethnic. If you act "too white" you are not black. This topic could be written into a whole book series. It is a very frustrating situation to deal with. "Compliments" such as "you speak well" or "you are pretty for a black girl" are not compliments and they are rooted in racism. This is just my experience but I know its something many can relate to.
