Obviously, I'm aware AOC is not black (or at least, not the socially defined version of black), but this same idea of assimilation into the white society affects most minorities. She was born in the Bronx, after all. And, by all accounts, she is at least tangentially familiar with "the struggle" throughout various parts of her life.  So who's to say what we see here is not a tone she adopts when with her friends, in a more comfortable atmosphere, whereas the tone we often hear her speak in is her more sterile voice for professionalism?

I think most people are aware that she grew up in an affluent suburb in Westchester Co.
