Oh man, my aunt didn't teach my cousins Yoruba because she said she didn't want them to "have an accent" when they grew up and eventually came to the US as she hoped they would... Omg lmao I was born and raised here and I know more Yoruba than them. It's sad when you think of it as more than a general "lol" because you're cutting your kid off from some of their culture to try and appease white people or better assimilate into white countries. Seems pointless to me since I genuinely have no accent but the second someone sees my name they start talking about how I should just like this Jamaican nurse their dad had...
I wish I had more than passive fluency but I'm glad for what I know. I feel like I'd be super frustrated living in Nigeria and not knowing my parents' language, idk how your brother did it. But like, I'm disconnected from stuff in a way and my dad isn't v sentimental and my mom will just shrug sometimes when I ask Cultural Questions or genuinely not know about some random orisha I want to write about so it's frustrating bc extended family just treat me like the American.
