Nah...not necessarily....my colleague talk like that a lot, and they are white and yellow.......

P.S. you are absolutely right. How is it possible that i just conveniently missed the entire section of those blackie slangs and still be an american for more than ten years??? Guess USC undergrad is not so good as it sounds....
BTW, were you graduated from standford???? just curious....



aha! can't help myself, just wanna take a picture of this.
