I also find it a shame that this carries over into all races.
This thread reminds me of a time I was watching Def Comedy Jam and I heard something that actually disturbed me.
The comedian was your typical.."this is how a black guy *fill in the blank* vs how a white guy *fill in the black* type comedian.
Anyway his comparison for the day was a white kid at graduation walking across the stage solemnly getting their diploma..sad because they knew they had 4 more years of school ahead of them...black kid at graduation, is up on the stage dancing across it as he got his diploma because he knew he was through with that school shit.
The audience was roaring with laughter.
They actually found it funny that the white kid was sad because he was going to get a college education vs the black kid who was happy he wasn't.
