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.

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!

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.  Now, I keep telling people "I've only been Black for a little while. I just saw The Color Purple last summer." 
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.
But, most black folks I know have never and won't even try chitlins.

Having lived abroad for the last couple of years, I've gotten so many stereotypes from so many people.
-"You're American? You're not fat!" or "You're awfully thin for an American" which makes me laugh, as I'm a size 12, a pretty average (even big) size for an American.
- That Americans are dumb. Um...no. I'm studying at one of the top universities in your country, shouldn't that tell you something?
- I must love George Bush (I was living abroad when his image really took a dive). Definitely not. I've never been a republican, and I'm passionately anti-war.
- I hate all food that isn't deep fried and bland. What? Seriously? I'll try just about anything and I love spicy food.
- Evangelical pro-life christian (what my best friend in Scotland called "Happy Clappy Christian") . Nope, sorry, Roman Catholic.
- That we all live on the coast, or live in NYC or LA. There is a serious misunderstanding of the regions and enormity of the United States. I got "do you live in a beach house?" all the time. This is mostly because a lot of EU countries get American soap operas and bad MTV docudramas (the Hills).
- American colleges are really easy and that anyone can go to college. Now, this is partially true if you look at the difference in admission requirements and placement system in the UK...not every student can go to University and university placements are really coveted because there are far fewer universities than there are in the US. In the US, most students can go to some form of higher ed, but the variety of options/degrees/accreditation is much wider. It is pretty insulting because I worked plenty hard for my BA, thank you.
