When did “enunciating” mean “sounding white?”

Skye Carr,
Virginia Beach, VA.

Throughout middle school and high school, people used to always call me an “Oreo” because I was one of the few black students in my class that spoke properly and enunciated my words. I’m curious when enunciating became something that only white people did.
