What is a "white" black guy?

Question

I just want to know why do people have to call a black person "white" when they dont fit the stereotype. For example, if you have a black male that can speak proper English, does not sell drugs, does not have a gun, does not wear baggy clothes, then his trying to be white. If there was a white guy that was fast and liked fried chicken no one would say anything about him trying to be black. I just want to know why a black person is "white" when he does not portray any stereotypes of a black person?

Answer 1

well that's a pretty common problem take me for example i was raised mostly around Mexicans and Asians so i talk properly i don't like rap that much so I'm basically considered white and I'm told i act white too ?? and a white person would be considered black washed if they talked slang wore baggy clothes and listened to rap "and acted black" of course they wouldn't be considered black if he was just fast and liked fried chicken that's not enough stuff to be considered black

Answer 2

Well actually if anyone can't speak good english, sells drugs, etc I just think they are an idiot because white people do that to. And people do say things about white people fitting a black stereotype. A common name for those people are "whiggas." I'm not racist by the way.

Answer 3

It could be the same the other way around. But the way you described being black is not true I know white guys who sell drugs ,love fried chick in baggy paints to and love going to gun shows and still talk white.........

Answer 4

few people speak proper english.

Black people get called white if they have no knowledge of or no appreciation for black culture (e.g. it one thing not to use black vernacular english, it is another thing not to understand it).

if you are black and prefer not to associate with other blacks you may be called white.

you may be called white if you cant dance.

BTW, to many black people being called white is a worse insult tahn being called a neggar. strange but true.

Answer 5

I've never heard of a "white black guy". I've only heard people saying that some black people want to be white.

Whenever I see a black person who talks narly, and who only wants white friends, and who only wants to date white people, then I consider that a black person who wants to be white.

It has nothing to do with stereotypes.

And btw, it's not only white people who accuse blacks of trying to be white. Other blacks do it too.

Answer 6

people say white guys act black all the time, yet there is no question as to why this is unacceptable.

Answer 7

it just stereo types usually black people think white people acting black are acting like gangsta(aka wankstas)

Answer 8
