Whether it does relate to processing or something else, the mergers are there. It's like how most Americans merge "marry" and "merry" - they just do it for dozens of different sound-clusters

Could be sound-generation, not necessarily sound-processing.

from some personal observations of white people, I notice variation in both generation capabilities and processing capabilities that seem likely to be innate. Example re processing: some people are surprisingly bad at connecting sounds to letters

lol like c&s? it me

I mean like hearing the different vowel sounds. Some kids just don't seem to hear the differences very well and thus have trouble connecting them to letters. Of course, some kids have totally different problems where they understand things fine but have trouble making the sounds.
-
yeah by the time you learn to read and write you are already speaking a specific dialect which regulates which sound distinctions you can hear that's not actually innate it's an inevitable part of learning a language
-
Different kids exposed to the same language have different abilities in noticing the distinctions between sounds.

are you talking about e.g. the difference between a kid in inner-city Baltimore and a kid in rural Ohio? b/c that is a dialect difference - same lang, big diff in phonologies
