FWIW, I've seen that mentality cross all cultural boundaries in the world of today's teens where the emphasis, for the most part until maturity kicks in, is on coolness and hip-hopness versus being a good student. For the young, white teen seeking peer acceptance and anti-establishment recognition by emulating the so-called '
gangsta' lifestyle, the commonly used derisive term is '
wigger.' Go figure.
