The wiggers wild n out6/1/2023 ![]() These people are sometimes called "wiggers", a portmanteau of combining the words "white" (or "wannabe" since the person in question may not be white) and a certain racial slur that white people generally avoid using (except for these guys, often with hilarious consequences). The end result of this usually sounds Totally Radical to natives of said culture. You can be Asian, Native American, Ambiguously Brown, or even African American, and still not be able to imitate the urban culture. Note that it's the middle-class culture, not the race, that determines whether someone's a poser. The most notorious form is middle class suburban white kids imitating the urban black culture. The most common form of this is likely just trying to imitate an accent. Worse, in fiction ( and on the Internet), wars have started that way. If you don't, you will look silly at the very least imitating shallow and superficial elements of a particular culture. Now the problem is that you don't have a deep understanding of the culture's origins and meanings, so you should at least pay close attention to what you are about to imitate, preferably with some practice beforehand. So you might have the urge to at least once in a while try to imitate part of that culture, like the dialect, slang, or accent. If you're not particularly xenophobic or ethnocentric, you might find parts of other cultures to be interesting or cool.
