Stereotype


Firstname: Whitley Lastname: Coco Ethnicity:African African/Black (Not Hispanic or Latino) Or am I poorly biracial with a side of caucasian? I might as well be because despite of my dark skin I "have a white girl trapped inside." I'm not too fond of watermelon. I don't like rap music, especially the stupid crap They have nowadays. Finished high school, with no baby, still a virgin, Never arrested. I'm not ratchet. So all of these traits must make me a white person Right? Let me nip this in the bud right now. Just because I live my life differently from the stereotype, Does NOT make me any less black. Not every black person is a ratchet hoodrat And not every white person is an intelligent angel. Not every mexican is a poor criminal. Not every Indian is a member of Al quaeda. Not every asian you see is from Asia. Black is my race, not my personality. God did not create my path of life based on the Single story that man created. Remember that
