A post shared by Savanna Tomlinson (@trillaaxx) on
A few months ago, she noticed a funny story on social media about a guy claiming to have gotten a free plane ticket because he 'sounded white on the phone'
"I thought it was funny, but when it came time to find a job or handle business, I caught myself using this so-called 'white' voice," Tomlinson told Buzzfeed.
Tomlinson found the joke so relevant, she used it to create her senior quote for the yearbook
The tweet instantly blew up with people saying how much they relate to the quote
@TRILLAAXX_@sata_rez Lmfao #StoryOfMyLife everyday at work "Are you from the valley?" No nigga I'm from Miami, they just hired me cause I sound like it 🙄
