a guy friend of mine who goes 2 A&T & now lives in Greensboro, NC....& grew up in different places throughout the U.S., due 2 his father being in the military....tells me that his fav. place 2 live so far was Michigan...because in so many words, he said that the Black people down here r rather "narrow-" or "close-minded" when it comes to certain things...
& the example he used was that he is very adventurous...and participates in sports that are considered non-typical of many Blacks....like rock-climbing...sky-diving...skateboarding....skiing...etc. etc. etc...
and he says when he tells his friends & peers down here about those types of things...they respond with something to the extent of "pssh, Black people don't do that" lol...& he says he hates that...
well my question is, what are some things that you all do (or say) that are "stereotypical" of another race? and what are some things you DON'T do (or say) that are "stereotypical" of Blacks?
Im **** at how almost everybody hasn't answered Meya's question
Lol. I was bout to point that out myself, but then I was like forget it.
Im confused...I thought everybody was answering her question.
Nah. You're supposed to be saying what you do that is like a stereotype of another race, and what you don't do that is the stereotype of your own race. Some folks were just writing plain old stereotypes. Lol.

I think he meant her question about things they personally do that are associated with stereotypes of other races and things that they don't do that are associated with black stereotypes.

black Stereoptypes that don't apply to me...
