There is no set trend for races, you take a black guy from Germany and I guarantee he acts completely different than what is stereotypical, its the people who hold on to those stereotypes that are ignorant.
So, that means whites DO NOT act black and they are a "product of their environment/upbringing?" Yeah okay, i am with that, not really. I know some little white rich wanna be thugs that have never been anywhere or done anything that if you pulled a gun on them they'd piss themselves. I grew up in a Italian/ Black neighborhood up north and think it is hilarious when I see those kids. I mean seriously, come on. I got out of where I lived and joined the Army or would have been in a New York or Federal Pen like my brother. But if this is so then you've just shattered the stereotypes that started this whole thread. I think every other one has been squashed, LOL.
