“Wigger” is just another stereotype put upon a certain group of people to criticize who they are [“Has Your Shizzle Gone Fazizzle?,” January]. Ethnicity doesn’t greatly affect personality. It is mostly a person’s environment that influences their behavior. One should feel free to be him or herself without worrying if they are acting like everyone else in their own racial category. America categorizes people who act similarly, and makes a smaller category for those who are considered out-of-the-ordinary. As long as your true character shows, race doesn’t matter. I do agree with the article about this: If you’re going to use Ebonics, at least know what they mean. I get tired of whites exaggerating in their attempts to mimic black culture.
