Ethnic Stereotypes That Offend?


Ok, I heard from someone, who heard from someone else, who was allegedly watching 'The View,' that they were discussing the times before "Political Correctness." [I wasn't watching 'The View' or anything.] I'm still not completely Politically correct because I trust my mind, and don't really think poorly about any particular 'group.' But, I tried to list the stereotypes etc.. about Negros that still piss me off, because, well, I'm a negro.

  • When I am referred to as 'Colored,' come on? WTF, it's not 1923?
  • When people make a racially driven comment about my black-ass liking Watermelon, I don't even like it like that. I mean, if you got some... (I'm playin')
  • When a random white dude, at a college especially, thinks I have drugs...
  • When people assume I steal.
  • When muufuckas think I can "hoop." I can dunk but that's about it.
  • When people assume I have nappy hair, I don't. And if i did, so what?
  • When peopleask if I live on the Eastside (Detroit). How do they make that assumption, the Westside has been primarily black since 1976...
  • When people think I'm fast, I'm not that fast damnit.
  • When people assume I entertain, I do. But it has nothing to do with my race.
  • Anything the Po-lice think.
Now the for Stereotypes I love....
  • When people ask if I have ever seen a gun.
  • When girls assume I have a large Man Stick. (I am preeeeeeettty sure I am a normal dude, but ok!)
  • When people think I will whoop their ass. Except my boy Nate, "you can get your ass kicked if you're any race!"
  • When people think I can hoop, so I get picked early in pick-ups.
  • Anything connected to Obama...
I would like to include other races and their stereotypes but I don't know how y'all feel about shit. Share one you like or don't like though, I am interested.

  2. Haha, I never said that. I just hate when people ask me like it is more likely...
