Someone, some group, decided to call one set of Americanish behaviors "acting white." Well - that has no meaning. Do they act Italian? English? German? Polish? That's all white. Well, wait. Back in the 50s Polish and Italian were NOT white. Now they are white. It seems to me that they all act, more or less, Americanish - with a more or less idea of appropriateness when it comes to behavior. Therefore, what there IS in America is an idea of appropriateness when it comes to behavior. This is true in any and all countries in the world.
