We are stereotyped as late for everything, can't turn in things on time, but whenever there's ANY sort of event (good or bad), t-shirts get printed up at the speed of light. The man ain't been dead but HOW MANY HOURS and you're already making $20 a pop? If it turns out they aren't black, I'll eat my words, but I can just FEEL it. :rolleyes:

I thought about this today..

Anyone ever heard the stereotype that black people can't swim? ("because" there were piranhas in the waters around Africa, which is also why we didn't flee from slavery. hm.)

Anyway.. since, according to some of my friends, that's a stereotype, well.. I sure fit it. I swim as well as a the Titanic.

Because black people only have Barack and MJ? I'm gonna need that person to do better.

Lord. That is so disrespectful.

And to christiangirl: there are bootleg concert/event shirts, and then there are "RIP my n**** Pookie from 145th and Amsterdam" shirts. I hate the hood tshirts!

My mother has this oversized shirt of some dude named D-shawn that she wears to bed. Who is that ma? You don't know him!

When I was a senior in college, I was continually asked, "what year are you in?" to which I responded, "Senior." Then, invariably, came, "Oh, where are you going to college?" Granted, I was younger than your average graduate, but it drove me crazy anyhow.

But yes, you do appreciate it as you get older. I've been carded three times in the last two years, and I am very, very grateful! Last week, I went to my ob-gyn, and the receptionist was shocked at my age. Look at it as good genes - my mother didn't age a bit until my daddy died.

Another somewhat racial stereotype is having red hair. I am lucky, but rubbing my hair is not going to help you! I don't have a bad temper, but if accused of it too much, I could be tempted to make an exception. Just because my eyes are hazel, not blue, does NOT mean I bleach my hair!

I could go on forever about redheaded rumors, but you all get the idea.
