spoken colors

I was in class
and someone asked
"why you talk so white"
If i talk white,
and write right.
We can a least get the grammar right.
or should i say correct

I think she ment to say
I speak Caucasion
But if i told her
I was black
or Asian
But born in Haiti
making me Haitian
Would she approach me with the same hesitation.

Correction I dont talk white.
Its speak correctly
because if
Bill Clinton spoke white
Obama speaks white


So i guess in her mind speaking white meant speaking right
but speaking white is the wrong representation
of speaking correcly
and if we correlate white and right
guess because im black im still wrong or talking properly.
