Ugh. I think it’s about white people from the burbs moving to NYC and using it (along with other vernacular here) to signal belonging, but not actually knowing anyone of Puerto Rican or Dominican heritage (aside from the support staff at their offices or the one conflicted girl in their college social circle).

I just looked up Cornel West on Wikipedia because I thought wow he must come from a pretty rough background to be lobbing those rocks at Coates. But nope. He grew up in Sacramento. His father (also a Baptist minister) worked as a contractor for the Department of Defense, his mom was a school principal. Then he spent…
