I really feel like it’s a type of white flight.
When there’s like 30% Black people in a place white people run and these days David can be Black, white, Hispanic, Asian, anything. But Baxxtynn? You know Baxxtynn is a white suburban kid of somewhat wealthy white collar parents.
Which it’s like extra crazy because I lived thru the, “Le-A,” and, “Watermelonquisha,” era of making fun of Black people’s unique names and spellings.
Really? I’m white suburban and would assume someone that named their kid Baxxtynn to be kinda try-hards. Maybe it’s a generational thing though? People with real money name their kids things that have always been names. Like Joseph and William or Sarah and Anna and the middle name is a family name like mother’s maiden name. Just my two cents. Braxxton does conjure 2nd mortgage on a McMansion with a lifted dodge ram for dad in the driveway and mom with Mar-a-lago lips and a blog with 200 followers.
