Amen to the whoever said "just because someone looks like they come from a certain racial group doesn't mean they ARE part of that racial group" and the whole Just because I am of latin descent doesn't mean I speak spanish"
you see...I am black and white... but most of the time people think I look mexican or south american... (I've been asked if I'm mexican, brazilian, persian, hawaiian, egyptian, ALMOST any race with slightly darker skin) HOWEVER when people *Think* I'm mexican or from south america they speak spanish to me... (I'm actually norwegian, german, irish, french, native american, and african american) even if I was mexican/ or from south america that doesn't mean I would know spanish !
I can testify to the fact that not all black men can dance... or like basketball.... just meet my father...
Another thing that gets on my nerves... just because I'm short doesn't mean that I need taking care of or that I'm young...
Just because I'm in a sorority doesn't mean i'm going to sleep with you...
I can also testify that not all jewish people "look jewish" I worked at a camp that had *mostly* Jewish campers and some of them definitely did not fit the "stereotypical" jewish looks.
not all people from San Francisco are gay
not all people from california look like the baywatch cast and spend their time surfing.
