Is it appropriate to trash Evander for simply behaving like a young black man?
Is it appropriate to demand that he behave more "white"?
No. That's textbook racism.
Hip hop is alien to a lot of Canadians and so they criticize it as "######baggery", "arrogance" or what have you. But, that's simply cultural prejudice.
My advice? Don't be a playa-hatea. Let the homey maximum swag.

He is free to "maximum swag" all he wants. Just like people are free to form their own opinions of him.
