I'm a white man and I'm going to say puncuality. Theres a perception that white people are nerds who follow all stupid rules and show up early for everything. I can't speak for all white people, but I personally hate rules and I don't think I've made it to work on time in over 2 years. Though I have made it within 10 minutes a couple of times.

I don't know, but I want to say this, I'm white, I eat chicken, and I can eat as much watermelon as any black person. But the only thing is I couldn't carry tune in a bucket nor can I dance, when I try to dance, I step on my own feet.

"You mean you don't have kids???"
No, I don't have kids 'cause I'm not married. In my book, you get the husband before you get pregnant. Oooo, I'm a dinosaur.
"How do you make tamales?"
I've never made them.
"You mean your parents didn't teach you Spanish?"
No, meng.
"Where were you born?"
In the good ol' USA. Okay okay, lots of my "cousins" were born elsewhere, so one can't blame a person for asking this question.
"How much is a peso worth?"
How the hell should I know? Look it up in your Funk & Wagnalls.

Most of the world believes that all black people hate white people for no apparent reason, and thus attribute all their misfortune to them.
