@gol_mia@RomanceThief_@rasmansa It wasn’t clear Mansa was saying this. His tweets suggested “acting white” didn’t occur in reaction to academic behaviors. But this is false. To the main point, I agree that the effect size is probably limited, but denying entire experiences wasn’t necessary.
@nhannahjones "Acting White" ridicule probably is distinct from your run-of-the-mill child peer group anti-intellectualism though. Sociologist Karolyn Tyson argues it generally emerges in integrated schools with classroom tracking https://t.co/EPgx0VJzjR
@rasmansa While I am uncertain about the phenomenon's effect size, I think it's a mistake to categorically dismiss it. Sociologist Karolyn Tyson has done a lot of work in this area and finds it does emerge under specific circumstances. https://t.co/cjYCqJmvqc
@kareem_carr@nhannahjones My siblings and I have all encountered accusations of acting white growing up by neighborhood peers, usually for our diction. But this was in the 90's-early 2000's and we were all bussed to predom white schools that practiced tracking https://t.co/CrvCYks4iW
