Help me , please!
Dear all
I 've read a funny story and I do not understand something in it. I copy the story as follow:
Two zebras pondering
Two zebras are talking and one asks the other, "Am I black with white
stripes or white with black stripes?" The other replies, "Well I don't
know. You should pray to God about that and ask him." So that night he did
and God replied, "You are what you are." The next day he said to the other
zebra, "I still don't understand what I am because God just said, You are
what you are." The second zebra responds, "You must be white with black
stripes or else God would have said, Yo is what yo is."
I really do not know what " Yo is what yo is." means?
Explain to me, please!
Thanks a lot.
Yours sincerely

This is a racial joke and does not bear repeating. 'Yo is' is supposed to represent African American Vernacular English.
