Don’t we all use different voices in different situations? My “home shouting at the kids” voice is different from my talking to friends voice and that is different again to my addressing colleagues in a formal meeting voice.

And I know many people who live in a different part of the U.K. to where they were brought up who revert to a voice which is much more like that of their home town when they go home to see family than they use where they now live and work.

>> White conservatives, even liberals like Stewart, exist in a world where successful Black people are racial Eliza Doolittles, who a team of white advisers help polish away the rough Blackness until all that’s visible is a shiny coat of social whiteness. <<

That's just gorgeous. Well done.
