unless i'm pretty sure that they ARE infact any of the above....
of the african americans... for two years, i was in an environment in which the people could not compose a single sentece without using atleast 1 of the five words: @$$, B!tch, H0e, N!gg_, Fck (<--- i only know this because i actually took the time to listen to some of what they said)
and, i'll admit, it is quite annoying when people call me vietnamese, japanese, korean, and sometimes even chinese (though, the only reason that it IS annoying in the first place is because the people calling me such things, are using them in a "joking" manner) (also, don't get me wrong, it is quite flattering at times to be "mistaken" for a japanese or korean, loool x.x'')
and rattling off the numbers that i hear off the news? that i admit is true.
but, correct me if i'm wrong; ""generally"", the only purpose someone would have to commit a theft, misdemeanor or felony, is because they want something, but do not have the proper means to obtain it [legally].
with that said, how many "slums" in america comprise of a majority of whites?? asians?? african-americans? latinos?
but don't get me wrong though~ i'm not hating anyone of them >.>'
there are some VERY decent african american and latino [gentlemen] that i have met. many that i respect and admire. but, unfortunately, there are MANY MANY more who aren't like that.
also, i'm not saying that no one else from any other race can be so ignorant. i do not deny the existence and the acts of the kkk.
buut, i've met much more respectable white and asian men, than i have african americans and latino.
buut meh~ point is, i'll pretty much always have a relatively negative judgement of such people, but the opportunity to prove themselves otherwise to me is always there.

my father and his side of the family are all black...I have never heard any of them curse...not once. the "N" word is not aloud in any of our homes and my father is a very very respectful man. In fact, many of the white people I know are ruder to me as a half black girl than the black kids are. All of the Latino kids I know treat me with such respect that it's hard to believe that they get lumped into a stereo type too. Also, I have met some very disrespectful Asian men...a group in my school talks to each other like you say most black people do^^;
