Not all pure-blood Italians are in the mob....

)

While we're at it...

Not all white guys are horrible dancers... although I just happen to be both.

(sorry but this one really bothered me when I was interviewing for jobs since January. Every one of the interviewers said something like "So you speak Spanish right?" Umm.. no I don't speak Spanish.. I didn't put that I could speak Spanish on my application or on my resume, so don't assume that just because I am of hispanic decent that I automatically know how to roll my R's and understand Spanish Thank you! )

DITTO!!! In Miami if you don't speak spanish but ARE spanish then people automatically start talking to you in spanish expecting you to know....in which i polietly respond that i do not speak spanish...and then i get the whole...OMG you dont speak spanish this is Miami you need to speak spanish....then they ask where i am from, and when i say Puerto Rican they say...."ohhhh those Puerto Rican's don't teach thier kids anything useful"
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
in my head im always thinking...this may be miami but we are in AMERICA...where people speak ENGLISH!!!!!!!!!!!

*deep breath* ok.....got that off my chest thanks

Id ALSO like to add...that:

*Just because I changed my major to elementary education does NOT mean that I was looking for an "easier" major.

*Elementary Education is NOT as easy of a major as everyone thinks...a deeper look into the field will prove otherwise!

ps. teachers are great!

Right on to that. I'm all about being bi- or even tri-linguil (sp?) but if you'r eliving here, you should at least TRY to speak English. I hate buying a new stereo or something and having to spend 4 hours trying to find the english part of the instructions.

If I were living in Mexico, I'd make every attempt to learn the language, out of respect for their country and their culture, I am not a native, I am a guest. I don't understand why so many of these @$$holes out there can't do the same.

If I'm not mistaken, the reason they have multi-language thingy is to save money. So instead of packiging 5 different boxes, they just can put everything in one and send them wherever. Although I maybe mistaken cause thw voltage are differents. Nevermind, another mindless ramble due to too much seafood.

Hmmm, Lobster.

People use to think (and some people still do) that Jewish people had horns. The meaning behind it is that we're supposedly devils.

When my mom first came to college in the early 70's (University of Florida), a woman in her dorms came over to her. This woman had come to UF by way of the backhills of this one southern state that shall remain nameless. Supposedly, this woman had the intelligence of a door stop and got into UF only because her dad had lots of money. When my mother said that she was Jewish, the girl said in her loud voice, "YOU'RE JEWISH?!?!?!?! But where's your horns?!?!?!!?!" The girl truly thought that Jews have horns.

not all sorority girls drink and smoke their first semester

not all sorority girls go buck wild once they get in . . .some of them already are

black women like ashanti, tyra banks, and beyonce wear fake hair. . .trust me, not all black women have hair down their back one day and to their butt the next. . .

not all black women wear extensions

just because a black guy joins a non-black fraternity doesn't mean that he's going to change. . .they always have the fraternity conform to them. . .how else do you think white boys started listening to hip hop and black guys started listening to techno. . .

Just because I look like a girl you can bring home to the parents and marry, doesn't mean that I want to get married or even to you for that matter.

Just because I'm getting older, doesn't mean I'm feeling that tick..tick..tick of my biological clock

Just because I'm going after my MBA and have my life together, doesn't mean that I don't need a man in my life. It's a rough world out there, I need to cry on your shoulder every once in awhile.

Just because people are in Ivy league schools, it doesn't mean we are a bunch of rich snobs (and i have the student loans to prove it)

Just because you are from the middle of nowhere, doesn't mean that we go around tipping ows for fun

And, no I do not live on a farm......

and i totally agree with everyone who says that not all sorority girls are rich, shallow witches.

Flirty girls are not always willing to fool around or go to bed with said guy.

Not all West Indian people come from the island of Jamaica. There are other islands in the West Indies.

Just because someone is poor and live in a low-income area, that does not always make them "ghetto". Sometimes it's all about a person's behavior and attitudes.

Not all black upper-middle class people are "bourgie" (sp?)

Not all black people can dance or sing.

~All black people do not have rhythm
