Why is it when white people drink it's sophisticated but when black people drink they're drunks?

Question

i'm just trying to see where the FUKCK that stereotype came from

Answer 1

In response to Unknown:

A lesser percentage of black people abuse alcohol than white people. White women in particular are more than twice as likely to abuse alcohol as black women. If it were true that blacks were somehow predisposed to alcohol abuse, these statistics would be reversed.

Answer 2

I have never heard that but from my experiences I say that white people get drunk and drink more often... when I have hung out with white folks their main focus seems to be getting drinks, when I hang out with black people there might be drinks around but the whole crew is not drinking and rarely does anyone get stupidly drunk

Answer 3

You're cuasing problems,I used to work at a Liquor store,& beleave me drunks come in all races.Nobody said that.Have you ever hear of the rowdy drunk Irish or Germans??

Answer 4

Actually, in my experience, it's been quite the opposite. I am half white and half black.

My black friends are just kinda chill and sit there, but the real crazy ones are up in there breaking ****.

And the white people are just all over the place, like calm down buddy, lol.

I am kind of in between. The last time I was drunk, I got up in the middle of the room and danced while people were throwing singles at me, lmao.

Answer 5

Your question doesn't even make any sense. When anybody drinks alcohol a lot they're called drunks. Have you ever heard of the stereotype of the drunk Irishman?

Answer 6

It's scientifically proven that white people have genetically structured stong livers as opposed to other races. Black people generally develop and addiction to alcohol easier and react to it aty a higher intensity. This reinforces this image in combination with the social stereotype

Answer 7

That is no stereotype since I've never heard it suggested before. Drunks of all races look the same to me. sophisticated people look the same to me.

Answer 8

I'd never heard that one before.

I've seen plenty of drunk, rowdy, ignorant white people in my life. I've also seen polite sophisticated black people sipping champagne. Color doesn't have anything to do with being a drunk.

Answer 9

I've never heard of that...

Answer 10

You've not seen rednecks drinking before apparently. They are a lot of things but sophisticated. In fact, you'd probably get your *** kicked for saying something like that.
