Whether your black or white I hate it when non Caribbean's use Jamaican patois but then diss Jamaicans or lack any respect or education on who we are. I've had black Africans diss me because I'm Jamaican but then turn around and tragically attempt to use Jamaican patois in the everyday conversation. Its cringey and rude. As long as you have a genuine respect and understanding of where the word comes from (JAMAICA), I don't necessarily have a problem with anyone using it, black or white. Although I do think that Jamaican patois being used by non Caribbean's sounds corny because its not authentic.

[@malcalmbaxter5672]

Well said bro, its true most black Africans treat Jamaicans like shit and then use our slang/ dialect, like for example in my class there is this Congolese boy said Jamaica is ill and Jamaicans have small cocks but it all comes down to badmind still.

[@SlipperyBream]

Plus you gotta blame the media aswell. They are doing their hardest in trying to turn people against each other and trying to make it about black vs white, or whoever vs white, race vs race and religion vs religion, because its an easy divide and conquer. When in reality its just rich vs poor.

[@fashionablylate888]

[@Nickademas1]

No he didn't so stfu. He's making sense talkin about culture and the distinction between that and history. Don't interpret the wrong thing and get lit up fam...

[@SantomPh]

he is talking about cultural appropriation by people who aren't connected to a particular culture- skin color or ethnicity doesn't matter here- it's class, location and heritage. White people from a council estate will sound like black people from a council estate and so forth, white people from the green belt will sound like Asian people from the green belt. No West Country lad should visit London and start going "wagwan man" like they was there all their life, and no South London blad should travel to Wales and start going "boyo" at everyone. It just isn't genuine and not proper. Narstie noted that the N word is still off limits to white people because of all the negative history associated with it, but most things are shared by social class, not so much with race (in the UK of course).

[@stonyoctagon]

He did the opposite of that, you obviously weren't listening very closely.

[@falloutgirl902]

Not really... you can use slang if you’re from the hood but if not- don’t.

@funny man- inner cities in the UK are A LOT more racially diverse then the rest of the UK, so I feel it’s a bit of a stretch or over simplification to say the mixing of cultures created the modern British culture, although it might seem that way for people who have only ever lived near a major city.

[@sbakernyc5761]

I'm a white boy who grew up in south London 80/90's. Growing up on estates there was no black v white thing, no cultural appropriation, unconscious bias.. We were all friends for the most part but the thing that we had in common is that we were poor. I grew up listening to Kool FM, We went carnival, wore Jordans ate Nigerian goat curry one day and chicken rice and peas the next. I was in care and the majority of the staff weren't white. Social workers mostly not white. Most of my teachers weren't white. I went with my black mates and got my hair cut in a black barbers on Winstanley Road for years, never once felt unwelcome. Feels weird that people might have a problem with me saying a word I used all of my youth. Don't get me started on the white guilt I'm meant to feel.

So if you're gonna tell white people not to say it you can go and tell all those African boys throwing it around too. Don't make it a black or white thing. Be logical please. And also accept that Jamaicans have heavily influenced culture in several other countries now and since the nature of language is to evolve, expect people to adopt these new cultural influences without getting offended. I don't get all the people causing separation all the time. Pillocks.

[@lukeedwards-sparsholtt1587]

[@NWAASAA]

I've never heard a non-Jamaican/Caribbean descendant over 25 seriously say 'wagwan' outside of humour or taking the piss, people jump off of Jamaican culture in school as a trend and then go back to the comfort of their own cultures when they start getting proper responsibilities. That's why a lot of people would be weary of people who do not identify or relate with the history or struggles of Caribbean people using the culture as some kind of cool badge when they're young and making it a 'London thing', and then dump it when they want to be 'taken seriously' because they can completely avoid everything that comes with the identity. The same goes with college kids around the world who smoke ganja and listen to Bob Marley all day and then get rid of all that when they get a corporate job, like Marky Mark removing his Bob Marley tattoo. Be wise.

[@biggsydaboss3410]

Sounds like a lot of stereotypes you've got floating around your head. I grew up in Harlesden, a neighbourhood heavily influenced by Jamaican culture. Most of my friends were either Jamaican born or born here to Jamaican parents. I grew up speaking just like they spoke. Even today, I still get people thinking that I'm black, when ever I've phoned them up without meeting them first. If most of the people you know are the "college kids", "who smoke ganja and listen to Bob Marley". You're probably not over-familiar with street life in London. So really who are you to tell say someone like me, who doesn't have as much melanin as you. To say what is the culture they are most familiar with? This divisive bullshit, people like you come like you (I'm betting you're an SJW) come out with, is why we can't have nice things.

[@NWAASAA]

[@beanybway]

Choclit - if you've never heard someone whos not black and over the age of 25 say wa gwarn seriously then I would imagine your either not from London or if you are you're not from a "ghetto" area because if you was you'd hear it every day. Where I'm from it's not even thought about, people of all colours use it as a simple greeting. Have you never seen a black guy over the age of 25 use the word "geeza" in a serious way? I'm sure you have, do you consider that also to be a phase or an act that they will eventually grow out of too? Or do you think it's just simply the fact that they grew up London, a place where the word "geeza" is used frequently?? The only people Ive know that have said wa gwarn as a piss take or used it until a certain age were the kids from the posh schools that we knew when we were younger. They semi picked up some street language from songs and chilling with us occasionally etc but it didn't stick with them for life because they wasn't around it everyday. And so what anyway!?!?

The point is Jamaican culture is apart of British culture now and has been for a while thanks to reggae artists from Jamaica coming here

So much respect for this guy. Seems like a well thought response and agree with his point of view. It's not colour, it's culture. That's different from race and ethnicity. Appreciating that a phrase may have originated from a place of cultural heritage closely entwined with race/ethnicity/nationality is definitely right but no words or phrases can be owned like that. I understand and appreciate there are a few with such history that they shouldn't ever be used (again not owned) by certain race/ethnicity but this is not one of those. The English language is full of words that originated from many differing cultures and even other languages. Wagwan is no different. It's a word I'll never use as I wasn't raised in that culture so it isn't a part of me, my attitude or my vocabulary but I fully appreciate it is for others regardless of the colour of their skin, their ethnicity or their nationality.
