I've gotten that. I usually ask them what exactly they think acting black means. If it has anything to do with physical or economic characteristics I can quickly point out numerous examples of black people who are anything but the stereotype, and generally tell the person that they should think about why they are willing to limit themselves and others so severely.
It's more amusing then anything to me, because it's just their ignorance. Not even worth getting mad about.
