"Virtual thoughts, not an unpleasantness, but still not very reconcilable with american dream. Can talk be fortune and smile or more than that, tone supersedes or does it impede." I think it is okay to know how to talk and sound differently ie slang, nerdy, whatever. However, I firmly believe if one does not learn mainstream english well; that person will not have very good chances of success. One can only communicate effectively within their private circle, if that person primarily uses their local lingo for communication. I think that is one of the major negative forces inhibiting certain minorities success.
