it used to be so annoying when people told me that i "act white"..i think its so ignorant and stereotypical to claim that someone acts a race. its almost insulting because the people saying these things are degrading minorities by expecting them to be ignorant, speak slang and ebonics, wear bagging clothes, have no money, etc..the weirdest situation is when a "ghetto" white person accuses me of "not being myself" because im acting white... ive learned to laugh it off but i still explain why i dont like people saying that. im not going to adapt to some moronic ideal of what i should be. in my opinion, if more minorities broke away from the mold that has been put in place by the media and ideals of "white supremacy culture" (which frankly is getting older everyday), then more of us could excel in various aspects of life (i.e. lower rates of illiteracy, actually taking davantage of education, not having a billion children on welfare, etc.) what do you think?
