Unit2Unit2.5 Culture

Boys and girls

a Read the first two paragraphs of the article and answer thequestions.What does EA mean? Why don’t the old race labels work any more?

b Read paragraph three.What’s going to happen in Britain in the next decade?

c Read paragraph four.Complete the definition. A ‘wigga’ is

d Read paragraph five.Is Beyoncé’s hair naturally blonde?

e Read paragraph six.Do you agree with the conclusions? Is your generation EA? Are there many mixed race students in your school?

Do you know any wiggas?

Forget black, forget white. EA is what’s hot!

1 EA means ‘ethnically ambiguous’ and describes a new generation — from US stars to Londonclubbers.

2 If you talk to any young person in London, it soon becomes clear that they don’t think muchabout race or colour. Herelle, a student from Camden, says: ‘Black and white people interact somuch that we have lost the distinction.’ Khan, a young nurse from West Ham, agrees. ‘Trying todefine people by the old race labels doesn’t work any more. Look at the people around you. We arethe new ‘‘blended’’ youth.’3 Herelle and Khan and millions like them are part of a new group called Generation EthnicallyAmbiguous (generation EA for short). It reflects the demographic reality of countries like the UnitedStates and Britain. In the last census, almost one million Britons identified themselves as membersof more than one race, or members of ‘no race’. In ten years, ‘mixed race’ is going to become thebiggest ethnic minority group in Britain

4 White teenagers are adopting ‘black’ lifestyles and culture in fashion, looks, music, sport andlanguage. ‘Black urban culture has become everybody’s culture’, says journalist Paul McKenzie. ‘Itrepresents the triumph of the immigrant black community’. In the past, a young white person whocopied black style was sometimes called a ‘wigga’, a negative term back then. Now wiggas areevery place. The extremely cool David Beckham, Justine Timberlake and Eminem are all famouswiggas. 5 EA is very hot now. Beyoncé, a black American, dyes her hair blonde, Cristina Aguileraaccentuates her Latin-American roots with her black hair, and multi-racial bands like theSugarbabes are more popular every day.

6The barriers between black and white are disappearing. ‘People don’t make a distinction nowbecause the distinction isn’t there — culturally and sometimes even physically!’, concludes NickLeader. ‘We are the new mix. We are the remix generation’.

It means 'ethnically ambiguous'.

Generation EA
