it has a sort of casualness to it that, yes, in many ways is authentic and endearing.....
but in other ways...the levity of it is rather demeaning....

I've also heard this a lot...white people do tend to zero in, with an almost jarring specificity, to their lineage (and there's a great deal of privilege tied to their ability to do so).... It's def. a flex IMO...
