I ran it through Babelfish's "Spanish to Ebonix" translator.
One of the saddest things I encounter at work are those unfortunate white children who talk black ... It's just SILLY. It's been a year or two since I'd dealt with a kid like this, so I thought the trend had passed.

Was dealing with one the other day. She said "yo, yo" a lot, referred to "her crew" and otherwise used pronounciation, cadence and physical gesturing associated with inner city black patois. (The rest of the story is unnecessary to go into here, but suffice it to say that her family, although living in a rowhome, appear to have misplaced their trailer).

I was commenting on this as part of the clinical information I was giving to the female staff member who was doing her admission, who happened to be black, and she advised me of a term that I had never heard before ... "Oh, yeah. One of those. We call them 'Whiggers.'"

Took me a LONG while to stop laughing.
