When you're a thin Black girl and that your butt is normal-sized. When you're a Black man and people expect your penis to be Eifel Tower-sized. When you can't dance as well as other Blacks. When people assume you can sing well and you can't or that you're funny and you're not.
No stereotype is positive.

I don't think there are any real positive stereotypes about being a black man. Maybe being athletic or good at rapping (:stopitslime: ) but neither of those really apply to me.

But I guess you could say I live up to the stereotypes of people who wear glasses. I wear glasses...and I'm big on computers, comics, video games, etc. and work in IT for a living.



Because I'm tall, athletic, and black, I'm picked first in pick up games of basketball....














The faces of disgust I get when they see they picked one of the absolute worst people to play basketball with.

hate it cause either way it robs you of your individuality. they want you to be a caricature with no depth.

one that i always found funny about another race is how you tend to think that older asians are so wise and philosophical (eastern philosopher stereotype), when for all we know, that old asian woman could just be an old ass thot air-head :russ:

Black Men/Women
Big penis/ ass
Athletic
Rhythm/Dance
Love chicken or make good soul food
Etc.

What are some experiences you've had with these stereotypes? How do they make you feel? Do you feel any pride or shame?

If you are any other race, you can answer too. For example, how do asian men feel with people make a Kung fu/martial art joke or think that you are good at math? That the women are submissive?

Mexicans, or any Latino: that you love tequila and tacos? That you are spicy/suave/feisty?

New study finds genetic diversity may be key to be taller, smarter

That us mixed kids have superior genes compared to full blood
