'From the mouths of teens'

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/from-the-mouths-of-teens-422688.html

The article 'From the mouths of teens' discusses the context and reasons for teenagers using slag. Race is spoken about to define why we came to use slang in the way that we do, and explains the fact that slang itself has converged with common language. The journalist carefully explains that race no longer is the border between who uses slang, and who does not - "'People say he speaks like a black boy, but he just speaks like a London boy.' The message is that people are beginning to sound the same regardless of their colour or ethnic background."
