Why is he trying to act white?

Yep! I have been trying to act white for a while now. From what people say behind my back I think that I have actually finally arrived. Ndafika?!
But let me tell you, it hasn't been an easy journey by any means. For every white girl I dated, rock and alternative album I listened to, white friend I made, predominately white nightclub I partied in, words I dared to pronounce correctly, private school I ever attended, middle-class suburb I grew up in; it was well worth it because I have made it.
Look at me in all my splendour damnit! Look at me!? When ever have you seen a 'Man of my race' look so distinguished? I saw the 'white' at the end of the tunnel and reached it.
I would like to thank everyone who voted for me to win this coconut, muSalad award. It shows that my hard work has not gone unnoticed. Apologies for taking so long. I will continue to make you proud and will not disappoint all of you...

From my book,
'The Tall Black Guy In The Specs'
