I dont think this phrase is found only in the Black community as there are some Mexican Americans who say this to their more sucessful,studious, and college bound/educated Mexican-American peers. I have experienced this from Mexican Americans who thought slacking off, tallking back to teachers, partying and drinking/doing drugs, tagging on desks/lockers and getting bad grades was cool and somehow made them "real mexicans". They often called people like me who were school oriented, nerds, coconuts (brown on the outside, white on the inside), or wannabe whites. Its pretty stupid if you ask me.
