Yes.

Especially number 81 and 78 (even though I have no kids, if I did, this would totally apply).

I like the occasional game of Yahtzee.

That site is hysterical. Someone posted it in P&R not long ago, but it got locked!

I think I have a healthy dose of stereotype.

White people like Mos Def?

Awesome.

I literally just found out about it yesterday--my friend sent it to me b/c of entry 81. (I have an MA in Art History ) I promptly forwarded it to everyone else who was in my MA program ( )

Haven't had much chance to read it, but from what I did see I think it's supposed to be tongue in cheek. Obviously some of the comments illustrate that people don't get that. Ya gotta be able to laugh at yourself, imo.

I don't really know who that is, but I was able to guess the #1 hip-hop song beloved by white people without reading the list (Baby Got Back, which I hate, btw) and most of the other 'honorable' mentions. (I disagree with most of their top 10. lol) I was also very surprised that Run DMCs "Walk This Way" was *not* on the list!

Oh god.



I relate to a lot of the things on the list.

JustErin said:

So do I.

Stymie said:

I shuddered when I read that.

Fuck it, I'm a stereotype then.

Stymie said:

I am shocked that facebook wasn't on that list.

JustErin said:

I'm sure LOST would be on there if it wasn't for the fact that white people also like not having tvs!

HAHAHA!

What a fun thread.

Let's see. I...

* am a total neat freak
* am a Banana Republic and Aldo whore
* enjoy watching Vogue battles
* require my living space to be gorgeous
* use words like "gorgeous"
* get into bubble baths, lotions, fragrances, candles...

Nah... no stereotypes here.

Lemme guess: you're a "straight", right?

...As an arrow, babygirl!

Lammastide said:

Well, of course he's straight. He's married. What else could he be?

When I think about me, sometimes I give myself a headache.

Let's see... Beyonce love aside, I'm constantly irked at how often people act as if I'm not "the norm."

A non-black girlfriend once remarked off-handedly, "Well, you're not a typical black man. Typical black men are like rappers and ball players..."

I had to check her right there. "No, typical black men in my family are respectful, get advanced degrees, raise their children, remain married to their wives for decades (if not forever), hold down jobs (sometimes, multiple ones), are law-abiding, positive, progressive and love God..."

My favorite "you're not like the others" moment had to be the time a friend's father-in-law asked me what island I was from...
