please help me look deeper into that word, especially how it's been used to define "native" as the "other":
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/vernacular
they labelled it "vernacular".

middle class blacks use the term quite a bit. others in this category include, "SRB" - Strong Rural Backround (iqaba, i guess) and now slowly making it's way into the lexicon is the the "K" word ala The Iron Duke (shhh, notice i said the "K" word instead of the word itself)

Doesn't that refer to a local language of a county as opposed to imported? It may also refer to a "local" dilect of an internation foreign language. Strangely enough it comes from Latin for "native" (vernaculus) which comes from....? yes, you guessed right, verna: slave born in the master's house

vernacular doesn't only refer to language. it also refers to artefacts, style, craft.
a means that is peculiar to the area of origin.
