It is impossible to write anything in English and not have it become bias. We have so many regional phrases. If I mention a water fountain, some of you are picturing Buckingham Fountain, some will be thinking a wall mounted device to drink from. If I start talking about my pop, some are thinking a can of coke, others my father. I couldn't even begin to offer examples of phrases that kids in the Robert Taylor Homes may grow up with that a child from the Appalachian Mountains would have no clue about.

 

Then consider first generation Americans whose native language is not English. I invite y'all to take a standardized test in Mexico after a couple years of Spanish lessons.
