I wish that I could be a different race other than black (or African American) because I am so fed up with all these sterio types that make me feel like I am less than a person. I'm pretty much just like anyone else, but I feel as though I give off a weird impression because of the color of my skin. I don't like it when people say black people are ghetto, lazy, ungrateful or anything of the sort. I'm not afraid of cops. I don't even listen to rap music. I listen to mostly rock and pop. I talk like someone who went to school. I don't believe it's fair to classify anyone of a specific race in a specific group. I didn't get to choose my race and I can't change it. I'm already super shy, I don't need sterio types making me even more insecure about myself. And I also don't like it when people tell me a act "white". When I talk to people, they ask me why I talk like a white girl. How offensive! It's just like when people say all Asians are geniuses and and White people are snobby or whatever. We are all people. We all should have the right to act how we want. I really don't like sterio types. I think they're hurtful and rude. I do not dislike black people or anything. All types of people are fine with me. I just don't like to be classified as someone I am not.

    I think you should be comfortable with who you are. Don't wish the colour of your skin could change, because it isn't the colour of your skin that is the problem. The problem is a society which stereotypes people based on the colour of their skin because racism still exists.

    All races are equal. You should not feel thia way. If it is because of attractiveness, then to me all races are just as hot.

    Thanks for writing this post. I agree with you 100%. People are individuals regardless of "race" (which is a misnomer anyway, the real term used here should be "ethnicity"). The biological definition of race is that if two people (one male and one female) belong to the same race they can potentially create offspring, which is true for humans. Therefore we all belong to the same race. The differences that exist between us are due to culture and environmental adaptations (culture partly explains the way we act and adaptations to the environment over thousands of years show in our physical features including skin color). I wish people would be less judgmental about other people especially about the color of their skin.

    I feel your pain. It can be tough being a certain race when others can have it better or worse. Luckily for me though human, I'm Durken so I don't have to worry about racial issues or stereotypes.

    Whatever you do, don't date outside your race.
