no. but people can be obnoxious and boisterous and use their race as an excuse for their behaviour. i assume this is what you are talking about. as an example, i grew up in a segregated area. my mom chose to send me to school in a predominantly white district through a program designed to desegregate the community. often my black neighbors and peers accused me of thinking i was white or of trying to act white, insinuating that i thought i was somehow better than the rest of them. this could not be farther from the truth. choosing to speak english rather than ebonics, or choosing to be in national honor society rather than in house suspension, has nothing to do with my race.
i know exactly what you mean, though. we see people trying to exert their behaviours on the rest of society by praying loud in public or openly disciplining their children, making a scene and drawing attention to themselves. but trust me, this is not because of their race. it is because they are ignorant.

Depends on whats too Jewish or too black. Some people just reflect on how they grew up. I don't think you can act too anything..unless ur not from either group. i.e. posers

How can you "act" Jewish, or black? Either you are or you are not.
If by acting "black" you mean listening to rap, and when you speak every sentence begins with "Yo, yo, yo....." that isn't being "black" , that is being ignorant (as in uneducated).
It used to bother me when I heard young black people speaking like that after everything that black people (just one or two generations ago) went through to get an equal education and rights. Now EVERYONE speaks like that....yo, yo, yo, wuddup, dawg?

Yes.
Any ethinc group of people can act too much like that group. It's a minor annoyance to most, but to the members of that ethnic group, it's akin to torture, and you want to slap the person silly.

Yeah people can act too much of anything be it white or black or liberal or conservative. Actually, maybe not too conservative, because that's a good thing.
