I mean maybe someone older and unhip or whatever who greets a black guy with, "What's up, man?" then greets a white guy with "How's it going?" or something similar. My manager does it constantly. His lingo changes like the person can't understand him if he talks in his normal vernacular. I hear it everywhere really and often wonder if the black dude thinks it's a weird thing to do --- This is where cool people write stuff. ... Copied to Clipboard!

If its a noticeable change in how they interact with people (which happens more often than one might think) yeah it is kinda cringey.

It's almost as widespread as dudeyea, there are definitely white guys who call everyone "bro", and if it's from them, that's fine with me. but I've also noticed people (not just white guys) who would refer to a black guy as "bro", but other people in a group as something else. tbf, it might be unconscious, but I don't like it. --- https://imgur.com/mApEnf3 ...

Funny, I use "Man", "Bro", and "G" for almost everyone except for old white dudes. And that's because they are to rigid for me to be comfortable using my own natural vernacular. What about that kind of situation? Edit: I should note that I am white, and the "G" thing is for "Guy" in my mind, which I also use a lot. --- Word from the wise: Don't run in the shower. ...
