> FYI this type of code-switching is not universally present for everyone though it may be for you. There's a difference between overt code-switching like people do when among members of their own race versus others compared to the more basic "I don't tell dirty jokes around grandma but I do around my bros." > Some people are their "authentic" selves the majority of the time. I don't think of any of these roles are inauthentic. People contain multitudes. You're right that some people deliberately collapse their roles and behave mostly the same across all contexts. I think it's usually done as a sort of power play to show that they don't have to behave differently to suit others around them. Trump is a good example.
