Your Favorite Stereotype About Your Own Race . . .
 

We all are good in math
We all have small penis

I recently heard that all white people French kiss their dogs. :)

I have no rhythm.
I love tuna salad sandwiches and Tab cola for lunch.

Fried Chicken, Watermelon, Purple Drank, Red-Flavored (not cherry... Red.) Kool Aid, Excellence in all sports.

I am far from excellent in any sport.

Hispanic women are just naturally heavier than others.

Seems to me like I'm not as heavy as some of my non-Hispanic counterparts. :)

"I don't want JUICE, I want purple DRANK. You know, it has 3 ingredients: sugar, water, purple."

Another fave: this isn't my real hair. It HAS to be a weave.

False.

I have known for a long time now that I am actually German because of my tendency to be early for stuff. :neutral:

WOW. I couldn't help it, i laughed wicked hard at this one.

Well, its not so much my race, more of where I grew up. I lived in the North (rhode island), and moved to the south for college. People always call me a liberal yankee, which bugs me.

I hate grape soda (and most grape flavored things, actually), but I do like fried chicken on occasion.

I am always early for things, and I can't stand to be late. No cp time for me.

But, I can't swim, and I'm not too interested in learning how to do so.

This may be totally off base, but it kind of pissed me off the other day.

I work with a very, very attractive, well spoken, educated black man who is pretty much a confirmed bachelor. He'd probably be called "a very white black guy", but I don't roll that way.

Anyway, we're sitting at work the other day and a newer girl looks at him and says, "Hey Chris, have you ever been married?" He said, "No, but I was really close one time." Her next question---"WAS SHE WHITE?"

I could have slapped her out of the chair. Who cares if she was white and what business is it of yours?! What kind of question is that anyway? I was >< close to looking at her and saying, "So, all hispanic men marry chubby white women, right?"

Chris, being the wonderfully graceful man he is just giggled and said, "No, she was black."

If you are Black and over 6' tall you must be a basketball player

i have bad credit and am a babymama.

related tale 1: the last time i was in Louisiana, i rented a car from the airport. at the counter, the woman smiled, leaned in to me, and said, "you know we'll be putting a $500 (or whatever) hold on your DEBIT card." i kindly handed her my COMPANY credit card and said, no need to worry about that.

related tale 2: when guys check me out in a parking lot, they *always* make a comment that there's no room for a baby seat in my car. B*TCH I KNOW, that's the point as i am single and childless, lol.

I'm white living in the Deep South, so therefore I'm a rebel flag-waving far-right extremist. I hate everyone FoxNews tells me to, of course. Oh, yeah, and I can't dance, either.


(That last bit about the dancing is so true, though ... so true. :( )

My personal 'fave'.

Because of my my hair...

"So, do you smoke weed?"

White guys get that, too. 'Course, the person asking might assume I'm not that good of a basketball player, but a basketball player nonetheless.

Really? All of you?! :eek::D

Point taken

"So... you're half Jamaican"
"Yes"
"Do you smoke a lot of weed?"
"No, the man that makes up the American half of my heritage is a cop. I don't do drugs of ANY kind".
"oh...:o"

I am well-spoken so I must be half white. (I'm not.)
I like extra mayo on everything. (Hate it.)
I grew up in the ghetto. (Norcal Suburbs.)
I frequent the clubs and only listen to rap and hip hop. If that's not true then I must be a PK. (Neither.)

I can't dance.
I live at Starbucks.
I'm not racist b/c I "have a black friend."
I don't wear shoes or have all my teeth.
I live in a trailer, have a couch on my front porch and and/or car parts all over the yard.

Some of this is probably more regional than racial, though

But, I really don't like to wear shoes... lol

I speak the Queen's English, therefore I think I'm white.
My parents arent married.
I always live in a project.
My degree is from a 2 year school..which I am still in.
Because I have a child, I must be loud, crass and on welfare, and I have no idea who her daddy is.

(When I was a receptionist, I got a HUGE kick of meeting the people I spoke to daily when they came to the office. Seeing them trying to hide their surprise that I am, in fact, a Black woman is always funny to me.)

$$$rich and stingy with money
crazy, overprotective mothers
large noses (cause air is free)

I can dance to Salsa y Merengue.
I am skilled with a knife.
I speak Spanglish.
I am lazy.
I wear pointy shoes.
I will steal the radio out of your car.

What do you call a Puerto Rican with no arms?
Trustworthy

Do you know how to starve a Puerto Rican to death?
Hide his food stamps under his work shoes.

OMG! When I was working my old job at the mall, I swear I thought I was going to flip out b/c another black girl (with Disney Princess/Jungle Themed acrylics :rolleyes:) insisted I:
A) Had two white parents (even though I do not look white)
B) Had at least one white parent (even though I do not look mixed), then
C) Demanded to know what color my parents were!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I guess I must be adopted or something!)

I speak English! Sorry to disappoint you!

I made an appointment to get my hair braided over the phone. Poor lady was so confused when I showed up, she was expecting a white girl!

When I was little, my English was "so good" people insisted that I was British or from a foreign country. (Even my mother!)

Oh yeah, I grew up in/around Detroit, moved to Plano, TX (a few of you know how Plano is...definitely not Detroit), then came back to the Detroit area for college.

None of the stereotypical black people at my school like me.

I only have one black friend.

I'm only friends with him to buy weed.

You're still a New Englander to your bones even if you relocated and joined the GOP.

"And this is good old Boston,
The home of the bean and the cod,
Where the Lowells talk to the Cabots,
And the Cabots talk only to God"

lol. Really.

I went to Catholic school and I don't get this...:confused:



I'm going to throw a gender one in, while we're at it...
I'm a girl, so I can't possibly interview Plumbers, or know what I need to order from the plumbing supply co.:rolleyes:

I was reading Cosmo at the shop once and one of the stylists said to me "oh, so you too good for this Essence huh?"

Maybe I shouldve picked up a Jet magazine, cause that's the staple of all black magazine reading material.

And I love how its just too good to be true that I am from the hood, and dont have a GED, a kid, or any worldly views.

PS I hate chitlins, whut.

It's pretty sad that she just expected you to talk like you ain't got no edjamikashun.

LOL

I don't like this thread, though I can't put my finger on it.

Yea, I could've sworn we had a similar thread recently.



*waves* Haven't seen you here in a minute. How have you been?

Ok.

We don't eat at white folks houses because they have dogs and cats, and may find fur in our food.

Actually this was a BIG thing with my grandmother. LOLZ!

But I bet your grandmother doesn't eat just anyone's collard greens, either. Cuz SOME people wash them in their bathtubs!

Ewwwww! LOL She didn't eat collard greens though, she wasn't a veggie person at all.

This reminds me of the time I went to a (black) friend's house a few years ago and her grandmother told me I wasn't black because I'd never seen The Color Purple and I didn't like pig's feet. :confused: Now, I keep telling people "I've only been Black for a little while. I just saw The Color Purple last summer." :p

BabyPINK--People are always super confused when they meet me in person after having spoken on the phone. Usually, it's pretty funny because when they realized I'm the one they talked to, they make a face like a spooked horse.

BTW: I do not wear Apple Bottoms.

Chitlins, I guess I fit the stereotype for it. I can eat those things for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.:D

But, most black folks I know have never and won't even try chitlins.
