LESSON 25
A wigga is an affluent young white male, who admires and absorbs certain aspects of black culture, which happen to have cooler music and sharper clothes. He adopts the slang of the black city. Wigga is attracted to hip hop and rap.
But what are the roots of white teenagers' fascination with black culture? Is it a genuine attempt to cross racial boundaries, or is it looking for a new, cooler identity? Is it a genuine affiliation to another culture or a desire of nerdy white boys to feel well hard, get rid of hang-ups and to up their cred.
